Installation

Model F1FR Series sprinklers must be installed with the

W2 (pendent) or W4 (recessed pendent) Reliable sprinkler

installation wrench as 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 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.

Both the Model W2 and W4 wrench have two sets of jaws.

Use the smallest set of jaws that fit on the wrench flats of the

sprinkler. The Model W4 wrench is used in conjunction with

a nominal 1/2” square drive ratchet with a nominal 5” long

extension (not provided).

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.

Sprinkler and Escutcheon Finishes(1)(2) 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.
