Model F1FR Series sprinklers must be installed with the Reliable sprinkler installation wrench identified in this Bulletin. Any other wrench may damage the sprinkler. The Models W2 and W4 wrenches have two sets of jaws. Use the smallest set of jaws that fit on the wrench flats of the sprinkler. A leak tight sprinkler joint can be obtained with a torque of 8 to 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. Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors or protective caps to minimize bulb damage during shipping, handling and installation. Reliable sprinkler installation wrenches are designed to install sprinklers with bulb protectors in place. Remove the bulb protector at the time when the sprinkler system is placed in service for fire protection. Removal of the bulb protector before this time may leave the bulb vulnerable to damage. Remove bulb protectors by undoing the clasp by hand. Do not use tools to remove bulb protectors.

Finishes(1)Table B Maintenance Reliable Model F1FR series sprinklers 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. Replace any sprinkler which has been painted (other than factory applied). A stock of spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick replacement of damaged or operated sprinklers. Failure to properly maintain sprinklers may result in inadvertent operation or non-operation during a fire event.

Installation Instructions When used on wet pipe systems, Reliable Model F3-56 dry sprinklers may be installed in ductile or malleable cast iron threaded tees, or CPVC tees and adapters upon veri- fication that the sprinkler inlet fitting does not interfere with the interior of the fitting (see Figure 12). When used on dry pipe systems, Reliable Model F3- 56 dry pendent sprinklers MUST ONLY BE installed in the outlets of ductile or malleable cast iron threaded tees on horizontal pipe such that the inlet of the sprinkler protrudes above the bottom level of the pipe. When used on dry pipe systems, Reliable Model F3-56 dry sidewall and dry upright sprinklers may be installed in ductile or malleable cast iron threaded tees, or CPVC tees and adapters upon verification that the sprinkler inlet fitting does not interfere with the interior of the fitting (see Figure 12). DO NOT install Reliable dry sprinklers into elbows or couplings, welded outlets, mechanical tees, or gasket sealed CPVC fittings. Dry sprinklers connected to wet pipe systems must be installed as indicated in Figure 11 and as required by NFPA 13 with the Exposed Minimum Barrel Length 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 ISO7-1R3/4 inlets are supplied with a protective cap on the inlet that must be removed before installation. Use the following steps for installation: 1. 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 escutcheon or cover plate option selected. 2. Apply pipe joint compound or PTFE tape to the male threads of the sprinkler’s inlet fitting. 3. 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 XLO2 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 inserting 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 con- nection. The recommended minimum to maximum in- stallation torque is 22 - 30 lb-ft (30 – 40 N-m) for 1” NPT and ISO7-1R1 sprinklers, and 14 - 20 lb-ft (19 – 27 N-m) for 3/4” NPT and ISO7-1R3/4 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 por- tion of the sprinkler assembly. A pipe wrench can in- stall the sprinkler into the fitting with a large amount of torque; consideration should be given to the need for future removal of the sprinkler because the instal- lation 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 ISO7-1R1 sprinklers, and 14 - 20 lb-ft (19 – 27 N-m) for 3/4” NPT and ISO7-1R3/4 sprinklers. 4. Standard and Model HB escutcheons can be installed by slipping the escutcheon over the can until the es - cutcheon is seated against the ceiling or wall. Model F1 escutcheons are installed by pressing the escutcheon onto the collar until the escutcheon is seated against the ceiling or wall. The Model FP escutcheon is installed by pressing or threading the escutcheon 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 direction. 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 cov- er 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. Note: Model F3 dry sprinklers are provided with 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 PRO - TECTION. 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 PRO - TECTORS BY UNDOING THE CLASP BY HAND. DO NOT USE TOOLS TO REMOVE THE PROTECTORS. 3.

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 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 operation or non-operation.

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.
