Application

The Reliable Model G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 are the most

versatile quick response concealed sprinklers available. It

provides the best form of fire protection while offering an at-

tractive appearance and 3/4” (19mm) of cover adjustment for

ease of installation. The small diameter cover plate assem-

bly is easily attached and blends into the ceiling, concealing

the most dependable fire protection available, an automatic

sprinkler system.

The Model G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 are designed for use

where aesthetic appearance is important. Offices, hospitals,

motels and restaurants are but a few of the applications where

it can be used.

The Model G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 are UL Listed Quick

Response Concealed sprinklers intended for use in accor-

dance with NFPA 13. FM Approves the G5-56 and the G5-28

sprinkler as a standard response concealed sprinkler intended

for use in accordance with FM Loss Prevention Data Sheet 2.0.

Product Description

The Reliable Model G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 uses a proven

quick response fusible element in a standard style sprinkler

frame with a drop-down deflector. This assembly is recessed

into the ceiling and concealed by a flat cover plate assem-

bly. The threaded engagement provides ¾” (19mm) of cover

adjustment. The flat cover plate is attached to the skirt using

either 135°F (57°C) or 165°F (74°C) ordinary temperature clas-

sification solder.

When the ceiling temperature rises, the solder holding the

flat cover plate melts, the flat cover plate released thus expos-

ing the sprinkler inside to the rising ambient temperature.

The subsequent fusing of the element opens the waterway

and causes the deflector to distribute the water. Any secure

engagement between the cover plate and cup will assure that

the drop-down deflector is properly located below the ceiling.

Installation

Do not install the G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 in ceilings which

have positive pressure in the space above.

• Cut a 25

8” inch (67mm) diameter hole is cut in the ceiling, the

sprinkler is easily installed with the Model FC Wrench. The

wrench has a socket drive which is inserted into the body of

the sprinkler. When installing a sprinkler the wrench is first

positioned into the sprinkler/cup assembly until the wrench

socket engages the body of the sprinkler. The sprinkler is

then tightened into the pipe fitting. When inserting or remov-

ing the wrench from the sprinkler/cup assembly, care should

be taken to prevent damage to the sprinkler. DO NOT

WRENCH ON ANY OTHER PART OF THE SPRINKLER/

CUP ASSEMBLY. Install the cover plate by hand turning the

cover in the clockwise direction until it is tight against the ceil-

ing.

A protective cap is provided to protect the drop-down sprinkler

deflector from damage which could occur during construction

before the cover plate is installed. The cap is factory installed

inside the sprinkler cup. Remove cap to install sprinkler, then re-

install cap until the cover plate is installed.

Maintenance

The Model G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 should be inspected

quarterly and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance

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

monia or any other cleaning fluids. Remove any sprinkler that

has been painted (other than factory applied) or damaged in

any way. Concealed sprinklers cover plates can not be painted

in the field, after installation or have any other coating applied

other than the factory finish. A stock of spare sprinklers should

be maintained to allow quick replacement of damaged or oper-

ated sprinklers. Prior to installation, sprinklers should be main-

tained in the original cartons and packaging to minimize the

potential for damage to sprinklers that would cause improper

operation or non-operation.
