Installation Instructions
General Instructions
Do not pull on the deflector when moving Model RFC43
and RFC56 Sprinklers from the shipping carton.
Install sprinklers after ceiling is in place.
Never apply paint or any other coating to sprinkler or
concealed sprinkler cover plate.
Do not install concealed sprinklers in ceilings which have
positive pressure in the space above, and do not cover
the cup vent holes. An open plenum space must be
above the sprinkler cup.
Use the proper wrench (Figs. 1 and 2) to install sprinklers.
Face of sprinkler fitting to ceiling is 2" max. for the RFC42
and 2" max. for the RFC56. Ceiling hole diameter is 2".
Final adjustment of each cover is made by hand turning
the cover plate in the clockwise direction until it is tight
against the ceiling.

Models RFC43 and RFC56 are UL Listed Residential
Sprinklers and are intended for use in accordance with
NFPA13 Paragraph 4-3.6 in residential portions of any occupancy, in one and two family dwellings and mobile
homes, (NFPA-1 3D), and residential occupancies-up to four stories in height (NFPA-13R). The letters "RFC43",
or "RFC56", temperature, K factor, and year are
stamped on the deflector.
Cover plate: 135°F (57°C) Sprinkler Temp. Rating: 165°F (74°C) Max. Pressure: 175 psig Max. Ceiling Temp.: 100°F (38°C)
When in doubt as to ceiling temperature, measure
with an accurate thermometer.
Installation
Model RFC43 and RFC56 sprinklers are to be
installed in ceilings with a plenum space above that
does not have positive pressure. In addition, inspect
all sprinklers after installation to ensure that both the
gap between the cover plate and ceiling and the (4)
slots in the cup are open and free of any air flow
impediment.
After a 2 ) inch diameter hole is cut in the ceiling, the
sprinkler is to be installed with the proper wrench
(Figs.1 and 2). When installing a sprinkler, the wrench
is first positioned into the sprinkler/cup assembly and
around the sprinkler frame. The Wrench must bottom
out against the cup in order to ensure proper, safe
installation. The sprinkler is then tightened into the
pipe fitting. When inserting or removing the wrench
from the sprinkler/cup assembly, care should be
taken to prevent damage to the sprinkler. DO NOT
WRENCH ON ANY OTHER PART OF THE
SPRINKLER/CUP ASSEMBLY. MODEL RFC43 AND
RFC56 CONCEALED SPRINKLERS MUST BE
INSTALLED ONLY WITH 135°F RATED COVERS.

Note: When Installing Model Fl FR Sprinklets, use the Model 0 Sprinkler
Wrench and when installing Model Fl FR Recessed sprinklers, use the
GFR1 Sprinkler Wrench. Any other type of wrench may damage the
sprinkler.
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors to minimize bulb
damage during shipping, handling and installation. 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 wrenches 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 PROTECTORS.

Note: When Installing Model F1 FR Sprinklers, use the Model D Sprinkler
Wrench and when installing Model Fl FR Recessed sprinklers, use the
GFR1 Sprinkler Wrench. Any other type of wrench may damage the
sprinkler.
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors to minimize bulb
damage during shipping, handling and installation. 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 wrenches 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 PROTECTORS.
