Product Description
Reliable Models F1 FR56, F1 FR56LL, F1FR42, F1FR42LL,
F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Series Sprinklers are quick response
sprinklers which combine the durability of a standard sprin-
kler with the attractive low profile of a decorative sprinkler.
The Models El FR56, Fl FR56LL, Fl FR42, Fl FR42LL,
Fl FRXLH & Fl FR28 Series Recessed automatic sprinklers
utilize a 3.0 mm frangible glass bulb. These sprinklers have
demonstrated response times in laboratory tests which are
five to ten times faster than standard response sprinklers.
This quick response enables the Model Fl FR56, Fl FR56LL,
F1FR42, F1FR42LL, F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Series sprinklers

The glass bulb consists of an accu-
rately controlled amount of special fluid
hermetically sealed inside aprecisely
I IJ IUIdU1UIU Idb UdpUI. I uS JldbS XLH Recessed bulb is specially constructed to provide Pendent FP
fast thermal response.
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 theY 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.

* Application
Quick response sprinklers are used in fixed fire protection systems: Wet, Dry, Deluge or Preaction. Care must be
- exercised that the orifice size, temperature rating, deflector style and sprinkler type are in accordance with the latest
published standards of the National Fire Protection Association or the approving Authority Having Jurisdiction. Quick
response sprinklers are intended for installation as specified in NFPA 13. Quick response sprinklers and standard re-
sponse sprinklers should not be intermixed.

Installation Aid
A protective cap is included for use during installation.
Important: The Fl FR56 Sprinkler with Model COP cover
plate is not an FM Approved combination.
Installation
Quick response sprinklers are intended for installation as
specified in NFPA 13. Quick response sprinklers and stan-
dard response sprinklers should not be intermixed.
The Model F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42, F1FR42LL,
F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Recessed Quick Response Sprin-
klers are to be installed as shown. The Model Fl or F2 Es-
cutcheons illustrated are the only recessed escutcheons
to be used with the Model F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42,
Fl FR42LL, Fl FRXLH & Fl FR28 Sprinklers. The use of any
other recessed escutcheon will void all approvals and ne-
gate all warranties.
When installing Model F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42,
F1FR42LL, F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Sprinklers, use the Model
D Sprinkler Wrench. Use the Model GFR2 Wrench for install-
ing F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42, F1FR42LL, F1FRXLH &
Fl FR28 Recessed Pendent Sprinklers. Any other type of
wrench may damage these sprinklers.
NOTE: A leak tight 1/2" NPT (R1/2) sprinkler joint can be
obtained with a torque of 8-18 ft-lbs (10,8 - 24,4 N-m). Do
not tighten sprinklers over maximum recommended torque.
It may cause leakage or impairment of the sprinklers.
The Models F1FR56/CCP & F1FR56LL/CCP Concealed
Sprinkler use the ½" orifice, ½" NPT (R1/2), Model F1FR56
& Fl FR56LL Pendent Sprinkler with a threaded Model COP
cup which is factory attached to the sprinklers. The Model
F1FR56 Pndent is available in temperature rating of 135°F
(57°C), 155°F (68°C), 175°F (79°C) or 200°F (93°C). The
Model F1FR56LL Pendent is available only in a rating of
200°F (930C). The concealed sprinkler assemblies are com-
pleted by the installation of the attractive low profile Model
COP push on cover plate assembly, rated 135°F (57°C) or
165°F (74°C) for the Fl FR56 and 165°F (74°C) for the FIFR56
LL. The cover plate and sprinkler cup assemblies are joined
using a cover plate skirt with flexible tabs for threaded en-

gagement. A choice of two cover plate assemblies provide
either 1/2" (13mm) or 5/8" (8mm) of cover adjustment,
Do not install these sprinklers in ceiling which have positive
pressure in the space above.
After a 2 /8" (67mm) diameter hole is cut in the ceiling, the
sprinkler is easily installed with the Model RC1 Wrench. A
Teflon* based thread sealant should be applied to the sprin-
kler threads only. The Model RC1 Wrench is then used to
engage the sprinkler wrenching surfaces and to install
the sprinkler in the fitting. When inserting or removing the
wrench from the sprinkler/cup assembly, care should be tak-
en to prevent damage to the sprinkler. DO NOT WRENCH
ON ANY OTHER PART OF THE SPRINKLER. The cover
plate is then pushed 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 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 impedi-
ment to the space above.
Concealed cover plate/cup assemblies are listed only for
use with specific sprinklers. The use of any other concealed
cover plate/cup assembly with the Model Fl FR56 Pendent
Sprinkler or the use of the Model CCP Concealed cover
plate assembly on any sprinkler with which it is not specifi-
cally listed my prevent good fire protection and will void all
guarantees, warranties, listings and approvals.
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors to
minimize bulb damage during shipping, handling and in-
stallation. REMOVE THIS PROTECTION AT THE TIME THE
SPRINKLER SYSTEM IS PLACED IN SERVICE FOR FIRE
PROTECTION. Removal of the protectors before this time
may leave the bulb vulnerable to damage. RASCO wrench-
es are designed to install sprinklers when covers are in
place. REMOVE PROTECTORS BY UNDOING THE CLASP
BY HAND. DO NOT USE TOOLS TO REMOVE THE PRO-
TECTORS.

Maintenance
The Model F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42, F1FR42LL,
F1FRXLH and Model F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42,
Fl FR42LL, Fl FRXLH & Fl FR28 Recessed Sprinklers should
be inspected and the sprinkler system maintained in accor-
dance 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. Remove any
sprinkler which has been painted (other than factory ap-
plied) or damaged in any way. A stock of spare sprinklers
should be maintained to allow quick replacement of dam-
aged or operated sprinklers. Prior to installation, sprinklers
should be maintained in the original cartons and packaging
to minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers that would
cause improper operation or non-operation.

*CAUTION*
RELIABLE DRY PENDENT AND DRY HORIZONTAL SIDEWALL SPRINKLERS MAY BE INSTALLED IN A LISTED
CPVC SPRINKLER FITTING, ONLY UPON VERIFICATION THAT THE FITTING DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE
SPRINKLER'S INLET.
Do not install dry sprinklers with standard inlets into CPVC fittings that have an internal obstruction; this will damag
the sprinkler, the fitting, or both.
Short inlet ("PL") versions of Reliable dry sprinklers are available that may or may not be compatible with fittings
having internal obstructions in existing installations. Sprinklers with the short inlet ("PL") should only be installed in
CPVC fittings of wet-pipe systems.
In all cases, verify sprinkler and fitting dimensions prior to installation to avoid interference.

CPVC adapter or tee does not interfere with the sprin-
klers inlet (wet-pipe systems only) (gasket sealed

Model F30R56 Dry sprinklers must not be installed into el-
bows, welded outlets, or gasket sealed outlets. Installation of
the Model F30R56 Dry sprinkler is not recommend in cop-
per pipe systems, as this may reduce the life expectancy of
the sprinkler.
In all dry-pipe system installations, the Model F30R56 Dry
sprinkler must be installed with protrusion into the fitting in
accordance with Fig. 1 through Fig. 9 in this Bulletin. Do not
install Model F30R56 Dry sprinklers with the standard (long)
inlet fitting into CPVC fittings that have an internal obstruc-
tion (see Fig. 11); this will damage the sprinkler, the fitting,
or both. Model F30R56 Dry sprinklers are available with a
short "PL" inlet fitting for installation on CPVC fittings of wet-
pipe sprinkler systems only.
Model F30R56 Dry sprinklers connected to wet-pipe sys-
tems must be installed with the Exposed Minimum Barrel
Length required by Fig. 10 located in a Heated Area.
An orange protective clip is factory installed on the sprin-
kler to protect the glass bulb thermal element from dam-
age. The clip should remain in place during installation of
the sprinkler and be removed when the sprinkler system is
placed in service, Sprinklers with 3/4" NPT and 1507-1R3/4
inlets are supplied with a protective cap on the inlet that
must be removed before installation.
Use the following steps for installation:
Cut a hole in the wall or ceiling directly in-line with
the outlet of the fitting. See the Installation Data table
for the recommended hole diameter based on the es-
cutcheon or cover plate option selected.
Apply pipe joint compound or PTFE tape to the male
threads of the sprinkler's inlet fitting.
Install the sprinkler in the fitting using the installation
wrench specified in the Installation Data table. The
Model F3 and F3R wrenches are designed to be in-
serted into the groves in the sprinkler's wrench boss
as shown in Fig. 12. The Model XL02 wrench is de-
signed to fit into the cup and engage the wrench boss
as shown in Fig. 13. Do NOT wrench any part of the
sprinkler assembly other than the wrench boss. When
inserting or removing the wrench from the sprinkler,
care should be taken to prevent damage to the sprin-
kler. The sprinkler is then tightened into the pipe fitting
to achieve a leak free connection. The recommended
minimum to maximum installation torque is 22 - 30 lb-
ft (30-40 N-m) for 1" NPT and 1S07-1R1 sprinklers,
and 14- 20 lb-ft (19-27 N-m) for 3/4" NPT and 1S07-
1R3/4 sprinklers.
3a. Alternatively, where access to the outer tube of
the sprinkler is available, the Model F30R56 Dry
sprinkler may be installed using a pipe wrench.
The pipe wrench shall only be permitted to inter-
face with the galvanized steel outer tube portion of
the sprinkler (Item #8 in Fig. 16). Do NOT wrench
any other portion of the sprinkler assembly. A pipe
wrench can install the sprinkler into the fitting with
a large amount of torque; consideration should be
given to the need for future removal of the sprin-
kler because the installation torque will have to be
matched or exceeded to remove the sprinkler. The
recommended minimum to maximum installation
torque is 22 - 30 lb-ft (30 - 40 N-m) for 1" NPT
and 1507-1 Ri sprinklers, and 14-20 lb-ft (19-27
N-m) for 3/4" NPT and IS07-1R3/4 sprinklers.
Standard and Model HB escutcheons can be in-
stalled by slipping the escutcheon over the can until
the escutcheon is seated against the ceiling or wall.
Model Fl escutcheons are installed by pressing the
escutcheon onto the collar until the escutcheon is
seated against the ceiling or wall. The Model FP es-
cutcheon is installed by pressing or threading the es-
cutcheon into the cup by hand; the escutcheon can
be tightened against the ceiling or wall by turning the
escutcheon in a clockwise direction and removed by
turning the escutcheon in .a counter-clockwise direc.-
tion. To install the Model COP cover plate, first remove
the protective clip. Install the Model CCP cover plate
on the sprinkler by pressing or threading the cover
plate into the cup by hand; the cover plate can be
tightened against the ceiling by turning the cover
plate in a clockwise direction and removed by turning
the cover plate in a counter-clockwise direction.
Remove the orange protective clip when placing the
sprinkler system in service.

Maintenance
The Model F30R56 Dry Sprinklers should be inspected and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25.
Do not remove the factory applied thermally sensitive wax
fillet between the bulb supporting cup and the wrenching
boss. Do not replace this wax with a substitute substance.
An Alternate substance may interfere with proper operation
of the sprinkler. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water,
ammonia or any other cleaning fluids: Remove dust by us-
ing a soft brush or gently vacuuming. Replace any sprin-
kler 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 op-
erated 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-operation.
