Reliable Sprinkler and Dan Bird of Classic Fire + Life Safety have been working together for over a year to create a new sprinkler head designed specifically for Lithium-ion battery fire protection.

 The result is the Model LB11 Horizontal Sidewall Storage Sprinkler head - the first sprinkler head specifically designed to address fire protection of Lithium-ion batteries in manufacturing and warehousing facilities that utilize an automatic storage retrieval system.

Reliable Sprinkler now is the only manufacturer with a listed sprinkler head that has been UL tested (199K) and approved for specific single row racking applications to protect lithium-ion battery storage locations.

Classic and Reliable are now working directly with the LG-Stellantis group on the second round of UL tests, utilizing batteries from LG-Stellantis with the goals beings:

• Increasing the listed sprinkler's capabilities
• Decreasing the number of materials and labour required for the installation
• Removing the sprinkler heads from the loading area of the rack to minimize accidental discharges
• Providing tested solutions that can protect the specific storage arrangements of the site
