SENJU SPRINKLER CO.,LTD.
Commercial Flat Concealed Sprinkler, Pendent.
Quick & Standard Response, Standard Coverage.
Model: RC-QR, K-Factor: 5.6. SIN: SS9561
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model RC-QR Commercial Flat Concealed Sprinklers are automatic sprinklers of the compressed fusible solder type. These
are decorative and quick/standard response. The Cover Plate Assembly hides the Deflector, Heat Responsive Element etc.,
which is in turn concealed above the ceiling. The cover plate has a flat profile, and its diameter is extremely small (2-5/8 inch,
68mm). The push-on and/or thread-on, thread-off design of the concealed cover plate assembly allows easy installation of the
cover plate. Therefore, the Model RC-QR should be your first choice when aesthetics is the major consideration for ultimate
appeal and unbeatable performance is desired.
They are to be used in wet pipe sprinkler systems per NFPA 13.
The Model RC-QR has a 5.6 (80.6 LPM/bar1°) K-factor.
'.,Fbr extended installation flexibility, the Model RC-QR provides 1/2 inch (12.8mm) vertical adjustment. This adjustment in
installation decreases the need for precise cutting of the pipe that drops to the sprinkler and allows for a perfect fit with a range of
1pe lengths.
'The heat sensitivity and water distribution design of Model RC-QR allows for an increased chance of occupants' escape or
evacuation in case of fire. However, fire sprinkler systems are not a substitute for fire safety awareness or fire safety construction
required by building codes.
WARNINGS
the Model RC-QR must be installed and maintained in accordance with the rules stated herein as well as in compliance
with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association regulations and the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction.
là the event of this condition, consult the authorities having jurisdiction for guidance and approval.
Failure to do so may impair the integrity of these devices.
ltis the responsibility of the installing contractor to provide a copy of this document to the owner or his representative,
and in turn, it is the obligation of the owner to provide a copy of this document to a succeeding owner. The owner is
responsible for maintaining their fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition. The installing
contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted with any related questions.

Physical Characteristics: Ref. Figure 1
OPERATION
In case of fire, the solder component that holds together the Cover Plate and the Retainer melts. Then, the Cover Plate is released
at once. As a result, the Deflector drops down to the intended position. Two Heat Collectors are exposed to fire, and when
sufficient heat from the fire is recorded, internal components of the sprinkler to fall apart. This leads to allow the water flow to be
distributed on the affected by fire area. (Ref. Figure 2)

DESIGN CRITERIA
The Model RC-QR sprinklers are listed by UL and C-UL as quick response I standard coverage for use in accordance with NFPA
standard, also the model is FM Approved as a Standard Response, No-Corrosive Atmospheres. The herein stated rules for use
and installation of the Model RC-QR are provided by the manufacturer and must be strictly implemented for safe and full results.
NOTES
Fire Sprinkler Systems should only be designed and installed by individuals who are completely familiar with automatic
sprinkler system design, installation procedures, and techniques.
Document No. U036884 Date Jun/1 712014
Page . 3 of 7
Several criteria may apply to the installation and usage of each sprinkler. Consequently, it is recommended that the
sprinkler system designer review and develop a working understanding of the complete list of criteria prior to initiating
the design of the sprinkler system.
Questions concerning sprinkler installation and usage criteria, which are not coverage by the following instructions,
should be submitted to Contact Company. Include sketches and technical details as appropriate.
In some instances, the requirements of this document may concern specifications which are more stringent and which
take precedence over those specified in NFPA 13 or by the authority having jurisdiction.
The Model RC-QR must not be used in applications where the air pressure above the ceiling is greater than that below.
The spray from the sprinkler is distributed radically outward and downward from the sprinkler deflector. Consequently,
the sprinklers must be located such that there will be no blind spaces shielded from spray by partitions, room dividers,
overhangs or other parts of the dwelling structure.
The number of sprinklers within each compartment (as defined by NFPA 13) must be kept as small as possible. Do NOT
use more sprinklers than necessary to cover a particular space.
Use only the Cover Plate provided with the Model RC-QR. The sprinkler must be secured in place by firmly fastening the
sprinkler system piping to the structure. If the sprinkler is not properly secured in position, reaction forces resulting
from sprinkler operation could alter its orientation and its water distribution pattern.
Obstruction to Water Distribution
Locations of sprinklers must follow the obstruction rules of NFPA 13.
General Service Conditions
The Model RC-QR must only be utilized in WET PIPE sprinkler systems per NFPA 13.
Operational Sensitivity Criteria
For proper operational sensitivity, the Model RC-QR must be installed beneath a solid ceiling having a smooth or textured
surface.
Heat Source Criteria
Refer to NFPA 13 for the requirements relating to the prevention of possible activation of the Heat Responsive Element of
Model RC-QR, due to exposure to a heat sources other than an actual fire.
Precautionary Warnings for Corrosive Environments
The Model RC-QR should not be installed where they may be subjected to a corrosive environment including the following:
Chlorine ion and Chloride environment.
Stress corrosion cracking may be caused by exposure to environments with Chlorine ion and Chloride. Exposure to this
environment may result in sprinklers operating under Non-Fire conditions or Not Operating when exposed to an actual fire.
Sprinkler system piping with Copper.
Sprinkler systems should be constructed in compliance with the applicable standards and the requirements for the copper
piping when copper piping is used in the sprinkler system. (Reference standards NFPA 13, ASTM B813, B828, and CDA
(Copper Development Association) - Solder Joint)
All residual flux must be removed from the interior and exterior of copper piping by thoroughly flushing before installation of
the Sprinkler Heads. Otherwise, residues of flux may cause corrosion and leakage in the sprinkler system.
INSTALLATION
The Model RC-QR must be installed in accordance with the following instructions.
NOTES
Do not use any sprinklers which have been subjected to potential mechanical damage. Do not use any sprinklers which
show deformation or cracking in either the Sprinkler or the Protective Cap.
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.
The Protective Cap must remain on the sprinkler during installation and until the ceiling installation is completed. The
Protective Cap must be removed to place the sprinkler in service.
Use a torque of 7 to 14 ft.Ibs (9.5 to 19.0Nm) to achieve a 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint. A maximum of 21 ft.lbs. (28.5 Nm) of
torque is to be used to install sprinklers. If you exceed the recommended maximum torque, this could result in damage
to the sprinkler inlet, which may lead to leakage from the sprinkler.
Document No. U036884 Date Jun/17/2014
Page : 4 of 7
In case of insufficient adjustment in Cover Plate installation, do not fry to overly tighten, screw the sprinkler too loosely
or make any modification to the cover plate assembly. Readjust the sprinkler fitting for a better fit.
Installinc, Procedure
Step I
The installation requirements for the sprinkler are as follows: to be installed only in the pendent position with the waterway
perpendicular to the ceiling. Install the sprinkler fitting so that the distance from the face of the fitting to the mounting surface will
be nominally 2 inch (50.8mm) as shown in Figure 3.
Step 2
With pipe thread sealant applied to the threads, hand tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Then tighten it with the
Sprinkler Socket or Wrench & Socket Combination (Ref. Figure 4). The grooves of the Socket must fit perfectly with the grooves
on the Sprinkler for proper installation (Ref. Figure 4).
Step 3
If desired the Protective Cap may also be used to locate the center of the clearance hole by gently pushing the ceiling material
against the center point of the Protective Cap. Before the installation of the ceiling, the sprinkler installation can be started with
the 2-3/8 inch (60mm) diameter clearance hole (Ref. Figure 3). Use the "Tolerance Limit of Ceiling Level" indicator on the
Protective Cap to check for proper installation height (Ref. Figure 3).
Step 4
Use the Cap Remover RC Tool to remove the Protective Cap (Ref. Figure 5), and then push or screw a Cover Plate Assembly
on the Cup of the Sprinkler by hand until its flange just comes in contact with the ceiling (Ref. Figure 6 and Figure 7). Stop
tightening the Cover Plate Assembly once the flange has come in contact with the ceiling. If the ceiling has been lifted from its
normal position in the process of tightening of the Cover Plate Assembly, readjust the cover plate assembly as necessary. If
the flange of the Cover Plate Assembly cannot come in contact with the ceiling sufficiently, readjust the sprinkler fitting as
necessary. When properly installed, there is a nominal 1/16 inch (1.6mm) air gap between the lip of the Cover Plate and the
ceiling, as shown in Figure 6

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The following instructions must be implemented for the maintenance and service of the Model RC-QR.
NOTES
Wet pipe sprinkler systems must be maintained at a minimum temperature of 40°F/40C to prevent freezing and bursting
of the pipe and/or sprinklers.
Automatic sprinklers are not to be tested with a heat source. Operation of the heat responsive element can result.
Absence of a Cover Plate Assembly may delay the response time of the sprinkler in case of fire.
Install the cover plate assembly properly, as shown in Figure 6. Improper installation of the cover plate assembly may
cause improper operation or non-operation.
If the ceiling is to be repainted after the installation of the Sprinkler, care must be exercised to ensure that the new paint
does not seal off any of the air gap.
Factory painted Cover Plates must not be repainted. They should be replaced, if necessary, by factory painted cover
plates. Non-factory applied paint may adversely delay or prevent sprinkler operation in case of a fire.
Do not pull the Cover Plate. Separation may result.
In preparation for maintenance of the fire protection system, permission to close the main control valve must be
obtained from the proper authorities and all affected by this action parties must be informed before the maintenance
session can commence.
Do NOT enclose any sprinklers within drapes, curtains, or valances.
Do NOT hang anything from the sprinklers.
Do NOT clean the sprinklers with soap and water, detergents, ammonia, cleaning fluids, or other chemicals. Remove
dust, lint, cobwebs, cocoons, insects, and larvae by gently brushing with a feather duster or gently vacuuming with a
soft bristle (i.e., dusting) brush attachment.
Exercise suitable safety precautions in the use and storage of highly flammable materials. The rapid rate of fire
development and spread of these materials can reduce the ability of the sprinkler systems to aid in the control of a fire
involving such hazards.
Leaking or corroded sprinklers must be replaced.
Automatic Sprinklers must never be shipped or stored where the temperature exceeds 100°F/38°C.
Automatic sprinkler must never be physically altered, such as painted, plated, or coated, once shipped from the factory. If the
sprinklers have been in any way modified, they must be replaced.
Great caution must be applied to prevent damage to the sprinklers at all stages - before, during, and after installation. Damaged
units, as a result of dropping, hitting, over-tightening, or wrench slippage, must be replaced.
When remodeling, such as by adding false beams or light fixtures or changing the location of compartment walls, first verity that
the new construction will not violate the installation requirements of the applicable standards of NFPA. Alter the new construction
and/or the sprinkler system to suit the requirements of this document and the applicable NFPA regulations.
The owner is responsible for the maintenance of the sprinkler system, including inspection and testing, its compliance with this
documents, as well as the standards of the National Fire Protection Association (e.g., NFPA 25), and the regulations of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. The owner should direct any questions regarding the above rules and regulations to the installing
contractors or the sprinkler manufacturer. It is recommended that automatic sprinkler systems be inspected, tested, and
maintained by a qualified Inspection Service in accordance with NFPA 25.

Product Description
Reliable Model F1FR series sprinklers
are quick-response automatic sprin-
klers with a glass bulb thermal element.
Model F1FR 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 FP
tional sprinkler.
The Model F1FR 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 a fire 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.
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 Fl FR Series sprinklers provide a wide range of op-
tions where quick-response, glass bulb sprinklers are used:
Pendent, recessed pendent, upright, horizontal side-
wall, 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 F1FR 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 F1FR56 Concealed Pendent and Model F1FR56LL
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
F1FR 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 t 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 RC1 wrench is used to engage the sprinkler wrenching
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. Anal 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 FR56LL
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 protection and
will void all guarantees, warranties, listings and approvals.

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.

Installation Instructions
Model F3-56 Dry sprinklers must only be installed in the
following fittings:
The side outlet of an ANSI B 16.3 class 150 (malleable
or ductile) or ANSI B16.4 class 125 (cast) iron pipe
tee
The run outlet of an ANSI B 16.3 class 150 (malleable
or ductile) or ANSI B16.4 class 125 (cast) iron pipe
tee, with the side outlet plugged (wet-pipe systems
only)
Spears Manufacturing Company Brass Thread In-
sert Style or Special Reinforced Plastic Thread Style
Listed adapter or tee (wet-pipe systems only) (gasket
sealed outlets shall not be used)
Any Listed CPVC sprinkler adapter or tee only in ac-
cordance with Fig. 12 and upon verification that the
CPVC adapter or tee does not interfere with the sprin-
kler's inlet (wet-pipe systems only) (gasket sealed
outlets shall not be used)
Model F3-56 Dry sprinklers must not be installed into el-
bows, welded outlets, or gasket sealed outlets. Installation of
the Model F3-56 Dry sprinkler is not recommend in copper
pipe systems, as this may reduce the life expectancy of the
sprinkler.
In all dry-pipe system installations, the Model F3-56 Dry
sprinkler must be installed with protrusion into the fitting in
accordance with Fig. 1 through Fig. 10 in this Bulletin. Do
not install Model F3-56 Dry sprinklers with the standard
(long) inlet fitting into CPVC fittings that have an internal ob-
struction (see Fig. 12); this will damage the sprinkler, the fit-
ting, or both. Model F3-56 Dry sprinklers are available with
a short "PL" inlet fitting for installation on CPVC fittings of
wet-pipe sprinkler systems only.
Model F3-56 Dry sprinklers connected to wet-pipe sys-
tems must be installed with the Exposed Minimum Barrel
Length required by Fig. 11 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 1507-1 R3/4
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 F3R wrenches are designed to be inserted into
the groves in the sprinkler's wrench boss as shown
in Fig. 13. The Model XL02 wrench is designed to fit
into the cup and engage the wrench boss as shown
in Fig. 14, Do NOT wrench any part of the sprinkler
assembly other than the wrench boss. When insert-
ing or removing the wrench from the sprinkler, care
should be taken to prevent damage to the sprinkler.
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 1507-1R1 sprinklers,
and 14- 20 lb-ft (19-27 N-m) for 3/4" NPT and IS07-
1 R3/4 sprinklers.
3a. Alternatively, where access to the outer tube of the
sprinkler is available, the Model F3-56 Dry sprin-
kler may be installed using a pipe wrench. The
pipe wrench shall only be permitted to interface
with the galvanized steel outer tube portion of the
sprinkler (Item #8 in Fig. 15). 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 1507-1R1 sprinklers, and 14-20 lb-ft (19-27
N-m) for 3/4" NPT and 1507-1R3/4 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 CCP 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 F3-56 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 using a soft brush or
gently vacuuming. Replace any sprinkler which has been paint-
ed (other than factory applied) or damaged in anyway. A stock of
spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick replacement
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-operation.
