Product Description
Reliable Model Fl FR series sprinklers
are quick-response automatic sprin-
klers with a glass bulb thermal element.
Model Fl FR series sprinklers are Stan-
dard Spray sprinklers, with the excep-
tion of the Model Fl FR56 Conventional XLH Recessed
sprinkler which is an Old-style/Conven- Pendent FR
tional sprinkler.
The Model Fl FR Series automatic sprinklers utilize a 3.0
mm frangible glass bulb. These sprinklers have demonstrat-
ed response times in laboratory tests which are five to ten
times faster than standard response sprinklers. This quick
response enables the Model Fl FR Series sprinklers to apply
water to afire faster than standard-response sprinklers of the
same temperature rating.
The glass bulb consists of an accurately controlled amount
of special fluid hermetically sealed inside a precisely man-
ufactured glass capsule. This glass bulb is specially con-
structed to provide fast thermal response.
Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Co., Inc., 103 Fairview Park Drive, Elmsford, New York 10523
At normal temperatures, the glass bulb contains the fluid
.in both the liquid and vapor phases. The vapor phase can
be seen as a small bubble. As heat is applied, the liquid
expands, forcing the bubble smaller and smaller as the liq-
uid pressure increases. Continued heating forces the liquid
to push out against the bulb, causing the glass to shatter,
opening the waterway and allowing the deflector to distrib-
ute the discharging water.
Model F1FR Series sprinklers provide a wide range of op-
tions where quick-response, glass bulb sprinklers are used:
Pendent, recessed pendent, upright, horizontal
sidewall, and vertical sidewall deflectors
K-factors of 2.8 (40 metric), 4.0 (57 metric), 4.2 (60
metric), and 5.6 (80 metric)
Flush, recessed, and concealed installations
See the Design and Installation Information table in this
Bulletin for information on the approvals and availability of
specific Model Fl FR series sprinkler configurations.
Model F1FR Recessed Pendent and Recessed Horizon-
tal Sidewall sprinklers are required to be used with Reliable
Model Fl, F2, or FP recessed escutcheons. See the Re-
cessed Escutcheon Data table in this Bulletin for listing and
approval information with each specific Model F1FR series
sprinkler. Model Fl and F2 recessed escutcheons, shown in
Fig. 1 and 3, are a friction fit assembly allowing for 3/4-inch
(19mm) and 1/2-inch (12.7mm) of adjustment, respectively.
Model FP recessed escutcheons, shown in Fig. 2, provide a
1/2-inch (12.7mm) threaded adjustment.
Model Fl FR56 Concealed Pendent and Model Fl FR56LL
Concealed Pendent sprinklers are required to be used with
Model CCP cover plates. A standard profile Model CCP cov-
er plate is available that provides up to 1/2-inch (12.7mm) of
cover plate adjustment. In addition, a low profile Model CCP
cover plate is also available that provides up to 5/16-inch
(8.0mm) of cover plate adjustment. See the Design and In-
stallation Information and Listed and Approved Temperature
Ratings tables in this Bulletin for further information on ap-
proved cover plate options.
Application
Model F1FR Series sprinklers are intended for use in
accordance with NFPA 13, FM Property Loss Prevention
Data Sheets, and the requirements of the Authority Hav-
ing Jurisdiction. Care must be exercised that the k-factor,
temperature rating, deflector style, and sprinkler type are
in accordance with the requirements of the applicable
design and installation standards. In addition, Model
Fl FR Series sprinklers must be used in accordance with
their listings and approvals, as well as the information
provided in this Bulletin.
Installation
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors or pro-
tective caps to minimize bulb damage during shipping, han-
dling and installation. Reliable sprinkler installation wrench-
es are designed to install sprinklers with bulb protectors in
place. Remove the bulb protector at the time when the sprin-
kler system is placed in service for fire protection. Removal
of the bulb protector before this time may leave the bulb vul-
nerable to damage. Remove bulb protectors by undoing the
clasp by hand. Do not use tools to remove bulb protectors.
2.
Model F1FR Series sprinklers must be installed with the
Reliable sprinkler installation wrench identified in the Design
and Installation Information table in this Bulletin. Any other
wrench may damage the sprinkler. A leak tight sprinkler joint
can be obtained with a torque of 8 to 18 lb-ft (11 to 24 N-m).
Do not tighten sprinklers over the maximum recommended
installation torque. Exceeding the maximum recommended
installation torque may cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Recessed Sprinklers
Model Fl FR Series Recessed sprinklers are to be installed
as shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, or Fig. 3, as applicable to the spe-
cific model being installed. The Recessed Escutcheon Data
table in the Bulletin identifies the only recessed escutcheons
that are permitted to be used with each Model Fl FR Series
Recessed sprinkler. The use of any other recessed escutch-
eon will void all approvals and negate all warranties.
Concealed Sprinklers
Model F1FR Series Concealed Pendent sprinklers are to
be installed as shown in Fig. 4 or Fig. 5, as applicable to the
selected cover plate. Model F1FR56 Concealed Pendent
and Model Fl FR56LL Concealed Pendent sprinklers have
a factory-installed Model CCP cup. A protective cap is in-
stalled at the factory that should remain on the sprinkler until
the sprinkler is installed and should then be reinstalled on
the sprinkler until the cover plate is installed. The concealed
sprinkler assemblies are completed by the installation of a
Model CCP push-on/thread-off cover plate assembly. The
cover plate and sprinkler cup assemblies are joined using
a cover plate skirt with flexible tabs for threaded engage-
ment. A choice of two Model CCP cover plate assemblies
provides either 1/2-inch (13mm) or 5/8-inch (8mm) of cover
adjustment. Do not install Model F1FR Series Concealed
Pendent sprinklers in ceilings which have positive pressure
in the space above.
Model F1FR Series Concealed Pendent sprinklers require a
2-5/8-inch (67mm) diameter hole to be cut in the ceiling. The
Model GFR2 wrench is used to engage the sprinkler wrench-
ing surfaces and to install the sprinkler in the fitting. Remove the
protective cap to install the sprinkler, then reinstall the protective
cap until the cover plate is installed. When inserting or remov-
ing the wrench from the sprinkler/cup assembly, care should be
taken to prevent damage to the sprinkler. Do not wrench any
other part of the sprinkler/cup assembly. Installation is com-
pleted by removing the protective cap from the sprinkler and
pushing the cover plate onto the cup. Final adjustment is made
by hand turning the cover plate until the skirt flange makes full
contact with the ceiling. Cover plate removal requires turning the
cover plate in the counter clockwise direction. After installation,
inspect all sprinklers to ensure that there is a gap between the
cover plate and ceiling and that the four cup slots are open and
free from any air flow impediment to the space above.
Concealed cover plate/cup assemblies are listed only for
use with specific sprinklers. The use of any concealed cover
plate/cup assembly other than the Reliable Model CCP with
Model Fl FR56 Concealed Pendent and Model Fl FRS6LL
Concealed Pendent sprinklers or the use of the Model CCP
Concealed cover plate assembly on any sprinkler with
which it is not specifically listed my prevent good fire pro-
tection and will void all guarantees, warranties, listings and
approvals.

Maintenance
The Model Fl FR Series sprinklers should be inspected and
the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA
25. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia or
any other cleaning fluids. Remove dust by using a soft brush
or gentle vacuuming. Replace any sprinkler which has been
painted (other than factory applied) or damaged in any way.
A stock of spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow
quick replacement of damaged or operated sprinklers.

Product Description
Model RFC Series residential sprinklers are flat cover plate,
concealed pendent sprinklers intended for installation in
accordance with NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, or NFPA 13D. The
sprinklers are cULus Listed as Residential Sprinklers in ac-
cordance with UL 1626. In addition, Model RFCLL Series
sprinklers are cULus Certified for Health Effects to NSF/ANSI
standard 61 Annex G (LL) and Australian WaterMark Certified
(WMCS).
Model RFC30 sprinklers have a 165°F (74°C) temperature
rated fusible-link operating element. Model RFC43, RFC49,
RFC58, and RFC76 sprinklers are offered with either a 165°F
(74°C) or 212°F (100°C) temperature rated fusible-link oper-
ating element. Sprinklers with a 165°F (74°C) temperature
rating are ordinary temperature classification and are listed

Installation
Model RFC series sprinklers are intended to be installed in
accordance with NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, or NFPA 13D, as well as
the requirements of applicable authorities having jurisdiction.
Model RFC series sprinklers must not be installed in ceilings with
positive pressure in the space above. Ensure that the 4 slots in
the cup are open and unobstructed following installation. Model
RFC series sprinklers are shipped with a wrench-able protective
cap that should remain on the sprinkler until the sprinkler system
is placed in service following construction.
Model RFC series sprinklers can be installed without removing
the wrench-able protective cap using the Model W3 wrench.
Alternatively, Model RFC series sprinklers can be installed using
the Model FC wrench by temporarily removing the protective cap
during installation of the sprinkler. The use of any other wrench to
installed Model RFC series sprinklers is not permitted and may
damage the sprinkler. Fully insert the Model W3 wrench over
the cap until it reaches the bottom of the cup, or the Model FC
wrench over the sprinkler until the wrench engages the body.
Do not wrench any other part of the sprinkler/cup assembly. The
Model W3 and FC wrenches are designed to be turned with a
standard 1/2" square drive. Tighten the sprinkler into the fitting
after applying a PTFE based thread sealant to the sprinkler's
threads. Recommended installation torque is 8 to 18 ft-lbs (11
to 24 N-m) for 1/2" thread sprinklers and 14 to 20 ft-lbs (19 to 27
N-m) for 3/4" thread sprinklers.
Bulletin 006
January 2020
Do not exceed the maximum recommended torque. Exceeding
the maximum recommended torque may cause leakage or
impairment of the sprinkler. Use care when inserting or removing
the wrench from the sprinkler to avoid damage to the sprinkler.
Install the cover plate by hand by pushing the cover plate into the
cup and turning the cover in the clockwise direction until it is tight
against the ceiling.
Application
Model RFC series sprinklers are intended for installation where
residential sprinklers are permitted or required by NFPA 13,
NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D. The sprinklers are concealed
pendent residential sprinklers.
Model RFC 30 and RFC30LL sprinklers are available in
ordinary temperature classification for installation where
the Maximum Ceiling Temperature does not exceed 100°F
(380C). Model RFC43, RFC43LL, RFC49, RFC49LL, RFC58,
and RFC76 sprinklers are available in either ordinary or
intermediate temperature classification for installation where
the Maximum Ceiling Temperature does not exceed 100°F
(38°C) or 150°F (660C), respectively.

Maintenance
Model RFC series sprinklers should be inspected and the
sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25. Do
not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia or any other
cleaning fluids. Remove dust by gentle vacuuming. Replace
any sprinkler cover plate assembly which has been painted
(other than factory applied) or damaged in any way. A stock of
spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick replace-
ment of damaged or operated sprinklers. Prior to installation,
sprinklers should be maintained in the original cartons and
packaging until used to minimize the potential for damage to
sprinklers that would cause improper operation or non-oper-
ation.
