Quick Response Sprinkler
Product Description
Reliable Models F1FR56, F1FR42, F1FRXLH & F1FR28
Series Sprinklers are quick response sprinklers which
combine the durability of a standard sprinkler with the
attractive low profile of a decorative sprinkler.
The Models F1FR56, F1FR42, F1FRXLH & F1FR28
Series Recessed 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 F1FR56, F1FR42,
F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Series sprinklers to apply water to
a fire much faster than standard sprinklers of the same
temperature rating.
The glass bulb consists of an accurately controlled
amount of special fluid hermetically sealed inside a pre-
cisely manufactured glass capsule. This glass bulb is
specially constructed to provide 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 bub-
ble. As heat is applied, the liquid
expands, forcing the bubble smaller
and smaller as the liquid pressure
increases. Continued heating forces
the liquid to push out against the bulb, causing the glass
to shatter, opening the waterway and allowing the deflec-
tor to distribute the discharging water.

Installation Aid
A protective cap is included for use during installation.
Important: The F1FR56 Sprinkler with Model CCP 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 standard
response sprinklers should not be intermixed.
The Model F1FR56, F1FR42, F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Recessed
Quick Response Sprinklers are to be installed as shown. The
Model F1 or F2 Escutcheons illustrated are the only recessed
escutcheons to be used with the Model F1FR56, F1FR42,
F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Sprinklers. The use of any other recessed
escutcheon will void all approvals and negate all warranties.
When installing Model F1FR56, F1FR42, F1FRXLH & F1FR28
Sprinklers, use the Model D Sprinkler Wrench. Use the Mod-
el GFR2 Wrench for installing F1FR56, F1FR42, F1FRXLH
& F1FR28 Recessed Pendent Sprinklers. Any other type of
wrench may damage these sprinklers.
NOTE: A leak tight ½” NPT (R1/2) sprinkler joint can be ob-
tained 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 Model F1FR56/ CCP Concealed Sprinkler uses the ½” ori-
fice, ½” NPT (R1/2), 135°F (57°C), 155°F (68°C), 175°F (79°C) or
200°F (93°C) Model F1FR56 Pendent Sprinkler with a threaded
Model CCP cup which is factory attached to the sprinkler. The
assembly is completed by the installation of the attractive, low
profile, 135°F (57°C) or 165°F (74°C) rated Model CCP push
on cover plate assembly. The cover plate and sprinkler cup as-
semblies are joined using a cover plate skirt with flexible tabs for
threaded engagement. A choice of two cover plate assemblies
provide either ½” (13mm) or 5/16” (8mm) of cover adjustment.
Do not install these sprinklers in ceiling which have positive
pressure in the space above.
After a 25/8” (67mm) diameter hole is cut in the ceiling, the
sprinkler is easily installed with the Model RC1 Wrench. A Tef-
lon* based thread sealant should be applied to the sprinkler
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 sprin-
kler/cup assembly, care should be taken 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.

The equipment presented in this bulletin is to be installed in accordance with the latest published Standards of the National Fire Protection Association, Factory
Mutual Research Corporation, or other similar organizations and also with the provisions of governmental codes or ordinances whenever applicable.
Products manufactured and distributed by Reliable have been protecting life and property for over 90 years, and are installed and serviced by the most highly
qualified and reputable sprinkler contractors located throughout the United States, Canada and foreign countries.
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 other concealed cover plate/cup
assembly with the Model F1FR56 Pendent Sprinkler 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.
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 dam-
age. 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 PRO-
TECTORS.

Maintenance
The Model F1FR56, F1FR42, F1FRXLH and Model F1FR56,
F1FR42, F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Recessed Sprinklers should be in-
spected quarterly 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 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, sprin-
klers 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.

Product Description
The F156, F142, F1XLH & F128 Series Glass Bulb
Sprinkler combines the durability of a standard sprinkler
with the attractive low profile of a decorative sprinkler.
Whether installed on exposed piping or in an office ceil-
ing, it is functional and attractive.
Beautifully versatile is the description for the Reliable
Models F156, F142, F1XLH & F128 Series Recessed
glass bulb sprinkler. Recessing the F156, F142, F1XLH &
F128 Series enhances its already low profile decorative
appearance, and facilitates a rapid and perfect installa-
tion.
The recessed escutcheon of the Models F156, F142,
F1XLH & F128 are highly adjustable. The two piece con-
struction makes field installation a very easy and rapid
task. This also allows ceiling panels to later be removed
without shutting down the fire protection system, thus fa-
cilitating maintenance of above ceiling services.
The F156, F142, F1XLH & F128 Series Automatic Sprin-
kler utilizes a 5.0 mm frangible glass bulb. The glass bulb
consists of an accurately controlled amount of special
fluid hermetically sealed inside a precisely manufactured
glass capsule. This glass bulb is specially constructed to
provide fast thermal response.
At normal temperatures, the glass bulb contains the
fluid in both the liquid phase and in the vapor phase. 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 liquid 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 distribute the discharging water.
The F156, F142, F1XLH & F128 Series Sprinkler tem-
perature rating is identified by the color of the glass bulb
capsule as well as frame color where applicable.

F128 Recessed sprinklers are used in fixed fire protection systems:
Wet, Dry, Deluge or Preaction. Care must exercised that the orifice
size, temperature rating, deflector style and sprinkler type are in ac-
cordance with the latest published standards of the National Fire
Protection Association or the approving Authority Having Jurisdic-
tion Installation.
Installation
Model F156, F142, F1XLH & F128 Series sprinklers are standard
response sprinklers intended for installation as specified in NFPA
13. They must also be installed with the Model D Sprinkler Wrench
specifically designed by Reliable for use with these sprinklers.
The Model F156, F142, F1XLH & F128 Recessed Sprinklers
are to be installed with a maximum recess of ¾ inch (19mm). The
Model F1, F2, and FP Escutcheon illustrated are the only recessed
escutcheon to be used with the Model F156, F142, F1XLH & F128
Recessed Sprinklers. The use of any other recessed escutcheon
will void all approvals and negate all warranties. When installing
Model F156, F142, F1XLH & F128 Recessed Sprinklers use the
Model GFR2 Sprinkler Wrench. Any other type of wrench may
damage these sprinklers.
Note: A leak tight ½” NPT (R½) sprinkler joint can be obtained with
a torque of 8 - 18 ft-lbs (11 - 24 N-m). Do not tighten sprinklers over
maximum recommended torque. It may cause leakage or impair-
ment of the sprinklers.
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange covers to protect the bulb dur-
ing the installation process. REMOVE THIS PROTECTION ONLY
AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN HYDROSTATICALLY TESTED
AND, WHEN APPLICABLE, THE ESCUTCHEONS HAVE BEEN
INSTALLED. RASCO wrenches are designed to install sprinklers
when covers are in place.

(1) SIN: RA1335 - cULus and FM permits use with F1 or F2 escutcheons for light
hazard only.
Maintenance
The Model F156, F142, F1XLH & Model F156, F142, F1X-
LH & F128 Recessed 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 fluid. 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 sprin-
klers. 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 im-
proper operation or non-operation.

Product Description
Reliable Model F3QR Dry Sprinklers are quick response sprinklers
utilizing a durable 3mm frangible glass bulb. This quick response
enables these sprinklers to apply water to a fire much sooner than
standard response sprinklers of the similar temperature rating.
Model F3QR Dry Sprinklers are intended for use in dry and preac-
tion systems and in areas subjected to freezing temperatures, such
as freezers and unheated portions inside and outside buildings.
Environments wherein dry sprinklers are employed can be cor-
rosive. For this reason, Model F3 Sprinklers have a special wax fillet
placed in the gap between the cup that supports the bulb and the
wrenching boss. This wax will not interfere with the operation of the
sprinkler, and it prevents contaminents from entering the internal
portion of the drop nipple. The wax must not be removed.
Operation
The glass bulb consists of an accurately controlled amount of
special fluid hermetically sealed inside a precisely manufactured
glass capsule. This glass bulb is specially constructed to provide
fast thermal response. When the temperature increases sufficiently,
due to a fire, the bulb shatters allowing operating parts to clear the
waterway. This enables the inlet seal to release air or water and
subsequently, cause water flow over the deflector in a uniform
spray pattern, controlling or extinguishing the fire.

General Installation Instructions
Model F3QR dry sprinklers must be installed only in stan-
dard (ANSI B 16.3 class 150 and ANSI B 16.4 class 125)
pipe tees in the horizontal position, even at branch line ends.
They should not be installed into elbows or pipe couplings
located on drop nipples to the sprinklers. For these and
other fittings including CPVC*, the dry sprinkler should be
installed into a fitting to allow protrusion into the fitting in ac-
cordance with the diagrams. The “A” dimension of the dry
sprinkler, which extends into the freezers or a freezing zone
from wet pipe systems, should be selected to provide, as a
minimum, the specified lengths in inches shown in Fig. 10.
Caution:
Do not install Model F3QR Dry sprinklers into CPVC
adapter fittings or tees that have an internal obstruction.
This will damage the sprinkler and /or the fitting. Refer to
Fig. 11.
During installation, the following steps must be followed:
Cut the specified size hole (see illustrations) for the sprin-
kler in the ceiling or wall directly in line with the tee.
Apply pipe joint compound to the 1” (25mm) pipe
threads and install sprinkler using the Model G3 or
G3 R/C Sprinkler Wrench as specified.
Install the Model FP push-on / thread-off escutcheon
or CCP cover plate if required.
Note: Installation of the Model F3QR Sprinklers is not rec-
ommended in copper pipe systems, as this may reduce
the life expectancy of the sprinklers.
Model F3QR Concealed and Recessed In-
stallation Instructions
The Model G3 R/C wrench (Fig. 12) is designed to
locate on the wrenching pads of the recessed sprin-
kler while centering in the cup. A standard ½” drive
ratchet may be used to drive this wrench. Fig. 13 and
Fig. 14 show sequentially the insertion of the wrench.
First the wrench, with its jaws above the sprinkler de-
flector, is moved laterally until centered with the cup.
Then raise the wrench inside of the cup until its jaws
engage the sprinkler’s square wrenching pads (Fig.
14). To remove the wrench, follow this procedure in
reverse order. Care should be taken to avoid striking
the deflector, with the wrench.
Model G3 Wrench (Fig. 15) is used for installation of
Pendent and Horizontal Sidewall sprinklers.
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 SER-
VICE FOR FIRE PROTECTION. Removal of the pro-
tectors before this time may leave the bulb vulnerable
to damage. RASCO wrenches are designed to install
sprinklers when covers are in place. REMOVE PRO-
TECTORS BY UNDOING THE CLASP BY HAND. DO
NOT USE TOOLS TO REMOVE THE PROTECTORS.

Maintenance
The Model F3QR Quick Response Dry Sprinklers should
be inspected quarterly and the sprinkler system maintained
in accordance with NFPA 25. Do not remove the factory
applied thermally sensitive wax fillet between the bulb sup-
porting 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. Remove 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. 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 opera-
tion or non-operation.

fm approved and fully listed Sprinkler Pipe
Wheatland’s Mega-Flow steel fire sprinkler pipe
is FM Approved for roll-grooved, plain-end and
welded joints for wet systems; and UL, C-UL
and FM Listed for use with roll-grooved, plain-
end couplings and welded joints for wet, dry
preaction and deluge systems. Mega-Thread is
FM Approved for use in wet systems and is UL,
C-UL and FM Listed for wet, dry and preaction
sprinkler systems.
approvals and Specifications
Both products meet or exceed these standards:
• ASTM A795, Type E, Grade A
• NFPA 13 and NFPA 14

manufacturing Protocols
Mega-Flow and Mega-Thread are subjected to
the toughest possible testing protocols to ensure
the highest quality and long-lasting performance.
finishes and Coatings
Mega-Flow black steel fire sprinkler pipe
receives a proprietary mill coating to ensure a
clean, corrosion-resistant surface that outlasts
standard lacquer coatings. This coating allows
the pipe to be easily painted without special
preparation. Mega-Thread is hot-dip galvanized
to meet FM requirements for dry systems and
is safer to weld than many zinc-coated, light-wall
threadable products.
Product marking
Each length of Wheatland fire sprinkler
pipe is continuously stenciled to show the
manufacturer, type of pipe, grade, size
and length. Barcoding is acceptable as a
supplementary identification method.
