The heads in the sprinkler cabinet are not the same as those in the paint
booth. We had to move the soda pop machine, as it was blocking access to
the head box.
My guys did bring the used parts back to the shop. I brought one of the
paint booth heads home with me. I soaked the head in Coca Cola. That
dissolved most of the gunk on the head. Then I put it on the wood stove.
Ping! Just like a toaster letting you know toast is done. I was able to
see the temp was 165°F. I still don't see any markings except for those
previously noted.
Central did have a center strut fusible link. This head has a fusible link
made of 2 cups soldered to together.

I remember now that the links where gone because they went off do to heat.
Any parts? I can identify most sprinkler mfg by looking at the type of link.
Central had at least 4 model A sprinklers at one time. I don't recall any
Grinnell model A
Should be more info on the deflector than you are reporting. What was the
make of heads in spare head cabinet?

Can someone tell me what this head is? It is an SSU, brass, SR, fusible
link, 3/4 pipe marked A584 on the deflector and marked MHX on the frame.
There is no paint on the arms. But I could have removed the frame paint
when I removed the green paint. I vaguely remember that as a Grinnell
number. What is the K factor? I assume because the frame is not painted
the temp rating is 155°F. The 3/4 pipe means it is an Extra Large
Orifice?
