CMSA Series Warehouse Special Application Sprinklers

The CMSA Series is a range of special application sprinklers designed for high-challenge warehouse environments. Available in pendant (X) and upright (Z) configurations, the series covers K-factors from K161 to K363 for installation heights up to 12.0 meters. Dual temperature ratings of 68°C and 74°C accommodate varied ambient conditions, while Q5 quick response options deliver rapid fire control where needed. Fully certified to GB 5135.9-2018 standards, CMSA sprinklers provide reliable protection for distribution centers, cold storage, pharmaceutical warehouses, and high-bay storage facilities.

What is CMSA Technology?

CMSA sprinklers operate on the control mode principle: rather than attempting immediate fire suppression, they are engineered to control fire growth by cooling surrounding areas and pre-wetting adjacent combustibles. This approach limits fire spread to a manageable size until firefighting personnel arrive.

Unlike ESFR sprinklers that require high pressure for rapid suppression, CMSA sprinklers deliver superior water discharge at lower operating pressures through large K-factors, making them ideal for protecting high-piled storage up to 12 meters in height.

CMSAX 363-74°C Y

Proper installation procedures per NFPA 13 and manufacturer specifications General Installation Requirements

1 System Compatibility

CMSA sprinklers are approved for use in wet pipe, dry pipe, and preaction sprinkler systems. All installations must comply with NFPA 13 Chapter 13 requirements and the specific sprinkler listing criteria.

2 Deflector Positioning

Unobstructed construction: Deflectors must be positioned 150-200mm (6-8 inches) below ceiling. Obstructed construction: Deflectors must be 150-300mm (6-12 inches) below ceiling with maximum 550mm (22 inches) from structural members.

3 Spacing Requirements

Maximum spacing between sprinklers: 3.0m x 3.0m (10ft x 10ft) for standard coverage. Minimum spacing: 2.4m (8ft) between sprinklers. Always refer to manufacturer's listing for specific spacing criteria.

4 Temperature Selection

Select temperature rating at least 30°C (54°F) above maximum expected ambient temperature. 68°C rating for ambient ≤ 38°C; 74°C rating for ambient ≤ 44°C.

Important Notes & Warnings

Critical Installation Warnings

  • Never paint sprinklers - paint can prevent proper operation
  • Do not install damaged or dropped sprinklers - replace immediately
  • Never bend frame arms or deflectors - this affects spray pattern
  • Glass bulbs are pressure-sensitive - handle with extreme care
  • Do not mix sprinkler types within the same design area

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between CMSAX and CMSAZ? 
CMSAX is pendant type (X) for exposed piping below ceilings, while CMSAZ is upright type (Z) for piping above ceilings. Both share the same K-factor and temperature options.
Q2: How do I choose between 68°C and 74°C? 
Select 68°C (red bulb) for normal ambient conditions below 38°C. Choose 74°C (yellow bulb) for elevated temperatures between 38°C and 65°C, such as ceiling plenums or warm storage areas.
Q3: What does Q5 mean? 
Q5 indicates quick response with an RTI ≤ 50 m·s½, enabling faster activation than standard CY response models. Use Q5 for high-value inventory or rapid fire growth scenarios.
Q4: Which K-factor do I need? 
K161 covers up to 7.5m, K242 up to 9.0m, and K363 up to 12.0m installation height. Match your ceiling or rack height to select the appropriate flow coefficient.
Q5: Are these certified for international projects? 
All models carry CCC certification per GB 5135.9-2018. They reference NFPA 13 and FM Global standards for equivalent international compliance.
