Model G5 series sprinklers must not be installed in ceilings with positive pressure in the space above. Ensure that the 4 slots in the cup are open and unobstructed following installation. Model G5 series sprinklers are shipped with a wrench-able protective cap that should remain on the sprinkler until the sprinkler system is placed in service following construction. Model G5 series sprinklers can be installed without removing the wrench-able protective cap using the Model W3 wrench. Alternatively, Model G5 series sprinklers can be installed using the Model FC wrench by temporarily removing the protective cap during installation of the sprinkler. The use of any other wrench to installed Model G5 series sprinklers is not permitted and may damage the sprinkler. Bulletin 034 April 2023 Page 8 of 9 www.reliablesprinkler.com Replace any sprinkler or cover plate which has been painted (other than factory applied). Properly installed Model G5 cover plates will have an air gap that is required for proper operation, do not seal the gap or paint the cover plates. Model G5 series sprinklers have holes in the cup that must remain unobstructed. Replace any sprinkler which has been damaged. A stock of spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick re-placement of damaged or operated sprinklers. Failure to properly maintain sprinklers may result in inadvertent operation or non-operation during a fire event.

Patents Model G5 series sprinklers may be covered by one or more of the following patents: U.S. Patent 6,554,077, U.S. Patent 7,275,603, U.S. Patent 8,776,903, U.S. Patent 9,248,327 Ordering Information Specify the following when ordering. Sprinkler • Model [G5-28] [G5-42] [G5-56] [G5-56 300] [G5-80] [G5-80F] • Temperature Rating [165°F (74°C)] [212°F (100°C)] • Threads [NPT or ISO 7-1] Cover Plate • Model [G5, G5 QR Gasket, G5 SR Gasket] • Finish (See Table I) Sprinkler Wrench • Model W3 • Model FC P/ N 9 9 9 9 9 7 0 4 2 1 Fully insert the Model W3 wrench over the cap until it reaches the bottom of the cup, or the Model FC wrench over the sprinkler until the wrench engages the body. Do not wrench any other part of the sprinkler/cup assembly. The Model W3 and FC wrenches are designed to be turned with a standard 1/2” square drive. Tighten the sprinkler into the fitting after applying a PTFE based thread sealant to the sprinkler’s threads. Recommended installation torque is specified in Table J. Installation Torque Table J Sprinkler Threads Recommended Installation Torque (min. – max.) ft.lb N·m ½” NPT or ISO7-1R1/2 8-18 11-24 ¾” NPT or ISO7-1R3/4 14-20 19-27 Do not exceed the maximum recommended torque. Exceeding the maximum recommended torque may cause leakage or impairment of the sprinkler. Use care when inserting or removing the wrench from the sprinkler to avoid damage to the sprinkler. Install the cover plate by hand, pushing and then turning the cover in the clockwise direction until it is tight against the ceiling. For Model G5 QR Gasket and Model G5 SR Gasket cover plates, the gasket should be attached to the flange of the cover plate skirt only. Do not glue the gasket in place or allow the gasket to overlap both the cover plate and the flange of the skirt. Maintenance Reliable Model G5 series sprinkler should be inspected and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25, as well as the requirements of any Authorities Having Jurisdiction. Prior to installation, sprinklers should remain in the original cartons and packaging until used. This will minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers that could cause improper operation or non- operation. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia liquid or any other cleaning fluids. Remove dust by gentle vacuuming without touching the sprinkler.

How to use this Design Guide: • For some systems, it may be advantageous for the designer to calculate the system hydraulics using shorter equivalent lengths associated with fewer than the maximum allowable number of bends. In this case, the designer may select a design number of bends for the job and use the associated equivalent length from the design guide to determine the system hydraulics. • It is possible that the actual installed condition of some of the flexible drops may have more bends than the designer selected. When this happens, the design guide may be used to find equivalent lengths based on the actual installed number of bends for particular sprinkler installations. The system hydraulics can be recalculated using actual equivalent lengths to verify the performance of the system. 20 victaulic.com 10.85 5839 Rev AA Updated 12 /2016 © 2016 Victaulic Company.

Caution: Use of an impact wrench is not recommended because the torque output can vary significantly due to many variables including air pressure, battery strength and operational variations. CAUTION: Proper torquing of the U-bolts is required to obtain the specified performance. Over-torquing the U-bolts may result in damage to the U-bolt and/or casting which could result in lower pressure retention capabilities, lower bend load capabilities, pipe joint leakage and pipe joint separation. Pipe joint separation may result in significant property damage and serious injury. 1 Pipe Preparation & Gasket Lubrication Cut a 13⁄16" hole in the pipe and remove any burrs. Be sure to remove the slug from inside the pipe. Clean the gasket sealing surface within 5⁄8" of the hole and visually inspect the sealing surface for defects that may prevent proper sealing of the gasket. Remove the gasket from the housing and apply a thin layer of Gruvlok® lubricant to the back surface of the gasket. Be careful that foreign particles do not adhere to the lubricated surfaces. Insert the gasket back into the outlet housing making sure the tabs in the gasket line up with the tab recesses in the housing. 2 Gasket Installation Lubricate the exposed surface of the gasket with Gruvlok lubricant. 3 Alignment Align the outlet housing over the pipe hole making sure that the locating collar is in the pipe hole. 4 Housing Assembly Attach the U-bolt from the other side and fasten the nuts finger tight. 5 Tighten Nuts Making sure the fitting is properly located over the pipe hole, tighten the nuts alternately and evenly to the specifed torque of 27 to 33 Lbs.-Ft. (37 to 45 N-m). 6 Assembly is Complete Visually inspect the assembly, the gasket will extrude out from under the housing. ALWAYS USE A GRUVLOK LUBRICANT FOR PROPER BRANCH OUTLET ASSEMBLY Thorough lubrication of the gasket is essential to assist the gasket into the proper sealing position.
