All You Need to Know About Fire Sprinkler Escutcheons
What are fire sprinkler escutcheons?
Fire sprinkler escutcheons, also known as rings, rosettes, canopies, cups, or skirts, are metallic decorative plates positioned around the base of pendent or horizontal sidewall automatic sprinklers. They serve a dual purpose: concealing the annular space between the sprinkler head and the ceiling or wall for an aesthetically pleasing look, and preventing heat and smoke from ascending into the ceiling or wall cavities, thus ensuring no delay in the activation of the sprinkler heads.
Why Are They Important in Fire Sprinkler Systems?
Ensuring Timely Activation:
The escutcheons are designed to block heat and smoke from entering the space around the sprinkler heads through ceilings or walls. By doing so, they help ensure that the sprinkler heads activate promptly in response to a fire. This timely activation is crucial for controlling the spread of fire, minimizing damage, and enhancing safety in a building.
Aesthetic Integration:
They provide a clean, finished look by covering the gap between the sprinkler head and the ceiling or wall. This contributes to a seamless integration of the fire protection system with the building’s interior design, without compromising the functionality of the sprinklers.
Common Materials and Design Considerations
The common materials utilized for sprinkler escutcheons include cold-rolled steel, stainless iron, stainless steel, and brass. An in-depth analysis and comparison of their material properties, practical applications, machinability, and cost will equip you with a holistic understanding, enabling you to make an informed decision tailored to your specific requirements.
- Cold-rolled Steel
Cold-rolled steel, favored for its strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness, is the preferred material for different kinds of sprinkler escutcheons in the field. To enhance its appearance and anti-corrosion properties, further surface treatments are necessary.
- Properties: Good anti-corrosion capability
- Pricing: Moderate price
- Finishes: Chrome-plated, brass-plated, white-coated, and black-coated, etc.
- Stainless Iron
Stainless iron, with its sleek and glossy appearance, is the material of choice for one-piece escutcheons due to its better anti-corrosion properties compared to cold-rolled steel. This eliminates the need for additional surface treatment, such as chrome plating.
- Properties: Lower ductility yet superior anti-corrosion
- Pricing: Slightly higher, yet competitive for one-piece escutcheons
- Finishes: Comes with a protective plastic film, eliminating the need for additional finishes
- Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is renowned for its corrosion resistance, flexibility, and high strength. This makes it the perfect material for sprinkler escutcheons applied in settings prone to high humidity or significant exposure to water and chemicals.
- Properties: Enhanced anti-corrosion and ductility
- Pricing: Relatively high
- Finishes: Plain unpolished, white-coated
- Brass
Brass is renowned for its rust-free qualities, robust corrosion resistance, and excellent machinability, making it a preferred choice for fire sprinkler frames. While the market demand for brass sprinkler escutcheons may be comparatively niche, their use is still required in specific projects to maintain consistency and reliability.
- Properties: Excellent anti-corrosion and ductility
- Pricing: Much higher
- Finishes: Natural brass, chrome plated, white coated
Surface Treatments for Escutcheons
Chrome Plating
Chrome plating is the preferred surface treatment for escutcheons, serving primarily to prevent corrosion and enhance appearance.
Powder Coating
Powder coating is frequently used for escutcheons as well, offers enhanced corrosion protection and longevity. It also allows for easy color customization.
Natural Metallic
Materials like stainless steel and brass with superior anti-corrosion qualities, require only cleaning or polishing to preserve their original metallic luster and color.
Customize
Beyond the options mentioned, escutcheons can be further customized with alternative surfaces to align with the sprinklers and intended application environment.
One-piece Escutcheon
A one-piece escutcheon features a singular ring, intended to cover the holes around fire sprinkler heads made during installation, thereby ensuring a visually appealing ceiling appearance. They are typically available in 1/2” and 3/4” sizes.
Two-piece Escutcheon
A two-piece escutcheon consists of two well-matched rings, functioning similarly to the one-piece type by covering the gap between the sprinkler head and the ceiling or wall opening. The dual-ring design offers added flexibility during installation, mitigating the need for precise cuts in the fixed pipe drops leading to the sprinklers.
Sprinkler Escutcheons By Functions
Flat Escutcheon
Recessed Escutcheon
Adjustable Escutcheon
Adjustable escutcheons, featuring a two-part design of a cup and a skirt, are especially suited for scenarios with varying distances between the ceiling/wall and the branch lines. This design ensures flexible installation: the cup allows for adjustments up to 2 inches, ensuring the sprinkler head fits perfectly, regardless of its distance from the ceiling or wall. The skirt component conceals any gaps, presenting a clean and professional finish to the installation.
Retrofit Escutcheon
Retrofit escutcheons are the optimal solution for replacing damaged or rusted escutcheons economically and effortlessly. Designed as two detachable halves, they can be easily separated and installed around the sprinkler head, then securely fastened into place. This design simplifies installation, especially when removing old or damaged units. Retrofit escutcheons come in three styles: flat, recessed, and adjustable, offering versatility to meet various installation needs.
General Installation Guidlines
Installing fire sprinkler escutcheons correctly is crucial for both the aesthetic integration and the proper function of fire sprinkler systems. Here are general guidelines to ensure their correct installation :
Preparation:
- Ensure the connecting pipe to the sprinkler fitting is accurately cut. For one-piece installations, the escutcheon plate seating surface must be at the proper nominal distance from the wall or ceiling. For two-piece types, consider the mounting plate’s style and adjust accordingly.
- Due to manufacturing variations, it might be necessary to perform trial cuts to ensure proper fit.
Step 1: Escutcheon and Sprinkler Assembly:
- For one-piece types, insert the threaded end of the sprinkler through the escutcheon plate. For two-piece types, start by installing the mounting plate(inner ring or cup) over the sprinkler threads.
Step 2: Apply Sealant:
- Apply pipe thread sealant sparingly to the sprinkler threads. A non-hardening TEFLON-based sealant is recommended for its effectiveness and ease of use.
Step 3: Install Sprinkler:
- Hand tighten the sprinkler, with the escutcheon or mounting plate attached, into the sprinkler fitting. This step is crucial for both one-piece and two-piece types to prevent cross-threading and ensure proper alignment.
Step 4: Secure the Installation:
- For both types, use the appropriate sprinkler wrench to tighten the sprinkler into the fitting securely as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Final Steps for Two-Piece Types:
- After ceiling or wall finishing, slide on the closure (outer ring or skirt) over the sprinkler for two-piece types. Push the closure to the mounting plate until its flange contacts the ceiling or wall surface.
General Advice:
- Inspect the installation to ensure the escutcheon is flush with the ceiling or wall and the sprinkler head is correctly positioned.
- Regularly check and maintain escutcheons as part of the fire sprinkler system’s maintenance routine.
