Agree 100%. However, realize some standard response sprinklers utilize fast response therm elements. The thermal element response is not the same as what the sprinkler is classified as.
As stated earlier: * All quick response sprinklers utilize a fast response thermal element. * All residential sprinklers utilize a fast response thermal element. * All ESFR sprinklers utilize a fast response thermal element.

Three sprinklers fall within that family; 1) ESFR, 2) quick response, and 3) residential. As such, considered the same. Steven is one of the best in my book! Thomas Wellen, P.E.
