Product Description

The F1S5 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 ceiling, it is functional and attractive.

Beautifully versatile is the description for the Reliable Model

F1S5 Series Recessed glass bulb sprinkler. Recessing the

F1S5 Series enhances its already low proﬁle decorative

appearance and facilitates a rapid and perfect installation.

Model F1S5 Series Recessed escutcheon is highly

adjustable. The two piece construction 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 facilitating maintenance of above

ceiling services.

Bulletin 024 Rev. A_Multilingual

The F1S5 Series Automatic Sprinkler utilizes a special

response 5.0 mm frangible glass bulb. The glass bulb

consists of an accurately controlled amount of special ﬂuid

hermetically sealed inside of 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

Pendent ConventionalUpright

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 F1S5 Series Sprinkler temperature rating is identiﬁed

by the color of the glass bulb capsule as well as frame color

where applicable.

other recessed escutcheon will void all approvals and negate

all warranties. When installing Model F1S5-56 and F1S5 LO

Recessed Pendent use the Model GFR2 Sprinkler Wrench.

Any other type of wrench may damage these sprinklers.

Note: A leak tight sprinkler joint can be obtained with a torque

of 8-18 ft-lb (10.8 - 24.4 N-m). Do not tighten sprinklers over

maximum recommended torque. It may cause leakage or

impairment of the sprinklers.

Glass bulb sprinklers have orange covers to protect

the bulb during 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.

Maintenance

The Models F1S5-56, F1S5 LO, F1S5-56 Recessed and

F1S5 LO Recessed Sprinklers should be inspected quarterly

and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with

NFPA 25. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water,

ammonia or any other cleaning ﬂuid. 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 operation or non-operation.
