The sprinkler is the best choice for architecturally sensi- tive areas such as dormitories, hotel rooms, reception areas, office build- ings, banquet facilities, conference rooms, and hospitals. The flat profile of the cover plate design easily conforms to the surrounding sur- faces leaving a very clean look. The plate, while being aesthetically appeal- ing, also helps to prevent objects such as garment bags and clothes hangers from being hung from the sprinkler that may otherwise cause an inadvertent operation. The Model RFII HSW Concealed Sprin- kler is designed for installation along a wall or the side of a beam, and beneath a smooth level ceiling. Horizontal side- wall sprinklers are commonly used in lieu of pendent or upright sprinklers because of aesthetics or building con- struction considerations where piping across the ceiling is not desirable. The Model RFII HSW Sprinklers are intended to be used in automatic sprinkler systems designed in accor- IMPORTANT Refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to regulatory and health information. Always refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER WARNING" that provides cautions with respect to handling and instal- lation of sprinkler systems and com- ponents. Improper handling and installation can permanently damage a sprinkler system or its compo- nents and cause the sprinkler to fail to operate in a fire situation or cause it to operate prematurely. Page 1 of 6 dance with standard installation rules, for example, NFPA 13, for ordinary and light hazard occupancies. Cover Plate Assemblies are available in a variety of colors and ordered sepa- rately. When properly installed, cover plates conceal operational parts of the sprinklers. Together, the sprinkler and cover plate form a complete assembly. The separable two-piece design of the sprinkler provides for 1/4 in. (6,4 mm) horizontal adjustment of the push-on and pull-off cover plate. With sprinklers installed but before cover plates are attached, pressure testing of the fire protection system may be performed prior to completing wall assemblies such as installation of gypsum board over stud framing, and surface finish- ing such as painting or wallpapering. The Model RFII HSW Concealed Sprinkler is factory assembled and shipped with a Protective Cap. The Protective Cap must remain in place to protect the sprinkler during instal- lation, see Figure 4, and wall instal- lation and finishing. The cap may be temporarily removed to verify proper orientation of the sprinkler deflector as necessary, but must be reinstalled and remain attached until the wall is fin- ished. The cap features a convenient center marking tip. With the sprinkler installed and cap attached, see Figure 3, align the wall covering material with the framing studs and gently press against the cap tip. The indentation left by this action marks the center for cutting a 2-5/8 in. (66,7 mm) diameter clearance hole for the sprinkler. After the wall installation and finishing are complete, the Protective Cap must be removed and the Cover Plate Assem- bly installed. Removal of the Protective Cap is crucial to ensure proper perfor- mance of the sprinkler. NOTICE The TYCO Model RFII HSW Concealed Sprinkler described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document and with the appli- cable standards of the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA), JUNE 2020 in addition to the standards of any authorities having jurisdiction.

The link's solder melts when exposed to heat. When the rated temperature is reached, the melted solder releases the link, activat- ing the sprinkler and allowing water to flow. Design Criteria The TYCO Model RFII HSW Concealed Sprinkler is UL and C-UL Listed for use in ordinary and light hazard occupan- cies, using the requirements specified in the current NFPA 13 for standard coverage sidewall sprinklers. Installation The TYCO Model RFII HSW Concealed Sprinkler must be installed in accor- dance with this section. A ½ in. (12,7 mm) NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained with a minimum to maximum torque of 10 to 20 lb-ft (13,6 to 27,1 N.m). Higher levels of torque may distort the sprinkler with consequent leakage or impairment of the sprinkler. Do not attempt to com- pensate for insufficient adjustment in the Sprinkler Assembly by under-or over-tightening the sprinkler. Readjust the position of the sprinkler fitting to suit. Step 1. The sprinkler must only be installed with its centerline perpen- dicular to the back wall and parallel to the ceiling. Use a W-Type 37 Wrench for installation. The wrench contains an outer flat surface reference that correlates with the sprinkler deflec- tor orientation. The word "UP" on the installation wrench is to face towards the ceiling to ensure proper alignment, as shown in Figure 4. NOTICE Do not remove the Protective Cap, shown in Figure 1, until the Cover Plate Assembly is installed and/or the fire protection sprinkler system is ready to be placed in service. Step 2. With pipe thread sealant applied to the sprinkler threads, and ensuring that no pipe thread sealant is in contact with the Deflector Guide Pins, align the sprinkler alignment slot with the W-Type 37 Sprinkler Wrench TFPI85 Page 4 of 6 alignment slot, as shown in Figure 4. Engage by inserting the sprinkler into the wrench cavity, fully seating the wrench shoulder against the sprinkler wrenching flange. Hand tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Step 3. Once hand tight, attach ½ in. (12,7 mm) drive to the sprinkler wrench, as shown in Figure 4. Wrench-tighten to ensure proper seal and alignment, taking care to ensure the Deflector Guide Pins do not come in contact with any foreign body or surface. Step 4. After the wall has been com- pleted with the nominal 2-5/8 in. (66,7 mm) diameter clearance hole and in preparation for installing the Cover Plate Assembly, remove and discard the Protective Cap. If the sprinkler has been damaged in any way including accidental over spray from finishing the wall, replace the entire sprinkler. NOTICE The sprinkler must be installed in the neutral or negative plenum only. Step 5. Push the Cover Plate Assem- bly onto the Sprinkler, and as neces- sary, make the final adjustment of the Cover Plate with respect to the wall by pushing the Cover Plate Assembly until the retainer flange is flush against the wall. If it becomes necessary to remove the Cover Plate, it can be removed merely by gently pulling the Cover Plate Assembly away from the sprin- kler body. Note: A Cover Plate Assembly not ade- quately engaging the sprinkler body, that is not securely attached, indicates the sprinkler is positioned at a distance from the mounting surface greater than is described in Figure 3. A Cover Plate Assembly fully engaged on the sprin- kler body while the retainer flange is not in contact with the wall indicates the sprinkler is positioned at a distance from the mounting surface lesser than described in Figure 3. If either condi- tion is encountered when attempting to install the Cover Plate Assembly, the sprinkler fitting must be repositioned.

Before closing a fire protection system main control valve for maintenance work on the fire protection system that it controls, permission to shut down the affected fire protection system must be obtained from the proper authorities and all personnel who may be affected by this action must be notified. The owner is responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of their fire protection system and devices in compliance with this document, as well as with the applicable standards of the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION, such as NFPA 25, in addition to the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction. Contact the installing contractor or product manufacture with any questions. Automatic sprinkler systems should be inspected, tested, and maintained by a qualified Inspection Service in accor- dance with local requirements and/or national codes. When properly installed, there is a nominal 5/32 in. (4,0 mm) air gap between the lip of the Cover Plate and the wall, as shown in Figure 3. This air gap is necessary for proper oper- ation of the sprinkler. If the wall 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 units. Non-factory applied paints may adversely delay or prevent sprinkler operation in the event of a fire. If removal of the Cover Plate is neces- sary relative to the Enclosure, be con- scious not to be too forceful, where separation may result. Sprinklers that are found to be leaking or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion must be replaced. Automatic sprinklers must never be painted, plated, coated or otherwise altered after leaving the factory. Modi- fied or over heated sprinklers must be replaced. Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the sprinklers before, during, and after installation. Sprin- klers damaged by dropping, striking, wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must be replaced. If a sprinkler must be removed, do not reinstall it or a replacement without reinstalling the Cover Plate Assembly. If a Cover Plate Assembly becomes dislodged during service, replace it immediately.

INUM Do not install any bulb-type sprinkler if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin- kler held horizontally, a small air bub- ble should be present. The diameter of the air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch (1,6 mm) for the 155°F/68°C and 3/32 inch (2,4 mm) for the 200°F/930C temperature ratings. Obtain a 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint by applying a minimum to maximum torque of 7 to 14 ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). Higher levels of torque can dis- tort the sprinkler Inlet with consequent leakage or impairment of the sprinkler. Do not attempt to compensate for in- sufficient adjustment in the Sprinkler by under- or over-tightening the Sprin- kler/Support Cup Assembly. Re-adjust the position of the sprinkler fitting to suit. Step 1. Install the sprinkler only in the pendent position with the center-line of the sprinkler perpendicular to the mounting surface. Step 2. Remove the Protective Cap. Step 3. With pipe thread sealant ap- plied to the pipe threads, hand-tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Step 4. Wrench-tighten the sprinkler using only the RFlI Sprinkler Wrench. (Refer to Figure 3.) Apply the RFll Sprinkler Wrench to the Sprinkler as shown in Figure 3. Step 5. Replace the Protective Cap by pushing it upwards until it bottoms out against the Support Cup. (Refer to Figure 4.) The Protective Cap helps prevent damage to the Deflector and Arms during ceiling installation and/or finish. You can also use the Protective Cap to locate the center of the clear- ance hole by gently pushing the ceiling material up against the center point of the Protective Cap. As long as the Protective Cap remains in place, the system is considered "Out of Service". Step 6. After the ceiling has been com- pleted with the 2-1/2 inch (63,5 mm) diameter clearance hole and in prepa- ration for installing the Cover Plate/Re- tainer Assembly, remove and discard the Protective Cap. Verify that the De- flector moves up and down freely. If the Sprinkler is damaged and the Deflector does not move up and down freely, replace the entire Sprinkler. Do not attempt to modify or repair a damaged sprinkler. Step 7. When installing an Air and Dust Seal, refer to Figure 5; otherwise, pro- ceed to Step 8. To attach the Air and Dust Seal, verify the angle of the out- side edge of the seal is oriented ac- cording to Figure 5. Start the edge of the Retainer in the grooved slot of the Air and Dust Seal and continue around the retainer until the entire Air and Dust Seal is engaged. Step 8. Screw on the Cover Plate/ Retainer Assembly until the Retainer (shown in Figure 2) or the Air and Dust Seal (shown in Figure 5) contacts the ceiling. Do not continue to screw on the Cover Plate/Retainer Assembly so that it lifts a ceiling panel out of its normal position. If you cannot engage the Cover Plate/Retainer Assembly with the Support Cup or you cannot engage the Cover Plate/Retainer As- sembly sufficiently to contact the ceil- ing, you must reposition the Sprinkler Fitting. Care and Maintenance The Tyco® Series RFll must be maintained and serviced in accordance with the following instructions. Before closing a fire protection sys- tem main control valve for maintenance work on the fire protection system that it controls, obtain permission to shut down the affected fire protection sys- tem from the proper authorities and no- tify all personnel who may be affected by this action. Absence of the Cover Plate/Retainer Assembly can delay sprinkler opera- tion in a fire situation. When properly installed, there is a nominal 3/32 inch (2,4 mm) air gap be- tween the lip of the Cover Plate and the ceiling, as shown in Figure 2. This air gap is necessary for proper operation of the sprinkler. If the ceil- ing requires repainting after sprinkler installation, ensure that the new paint does not seal off any of the air gap. Do not pull the Cover Plate relative to the Enclosure. Separation may result. Replace sprinklers that: are leaking or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion. were modified or over-heated. Never paint, plate, coat, or otherwise alter automatic sprinklers after they leave the factory. Never repaint facto- ry-painted Cover Plates. If necessary, replace them with factory-painted units. Non-factory applied paint can adversely delay or prevent sprinkler operation in the event of a fire. Exercise care to avoid damage to sprinklers before, during, and after in- stallation. Replace sprinklers damaged by dropping, striking, wrench twisting, wrench slipping, or the like. Also, re- place any sprinkler that has a cracked bulb or that has lost liquid from its bulb. (Refer to the Installation section.) If you must remove a sprinkler, do not reinstall it or a replacement without re- installing the Cover Plate/Retainer As- sembly. If a Cover Plate/Retainer As- sembly becomes dislodged during service, replace it immediately. Responsibility lies with sprinkler own- ers for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of their fire protection system and devices in compliance with this document, as well as with the ap- plicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association (for example, NFPA 25), in addition to the standards of any other authorities having jurisdic- tion. Contact the installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer regarding any questions. Automatic sprinkler systems should be inspected, tested, and maintained by a qualified Inspection Service in accor- dance with local requirements and/or national code.
