Non-Quell licensees can buy Tyco K17 SSU's in other than 286*F temperatures. If your building is under 35', you might look at the new extended listings Tyco just issued for their EC25 as a result of some testing at FM last summer. We've got a storage job where the cost is dramatically lower than it would have been with ESFRs, and for the Group A unexpanded commodity we're protecting, they're aces. Two rows per bay in 25' bays, try that with ESFRs :)
If you don't have a need for the upright ESFR, the pendent version is cheaper and more efficient. George L. Church, Jr., CET Rowe Sprinkler Systems, Inc.

They are more expensive than K17 pendents. Tyco also makes the K17 Ultra used on Quell systems. They cost $10 more than the standard K17 ESFR but have a chrome deflector, otherwise they are identical. I think Viking makes a K17 upright as well.

Does anyone know when can I use It?,.. if the proper branch line could be an obstruction. Normally or never I have used an Esfr Up-right.
