Product Description

Conventional (or “old-syle” sprinklers) direct approximately

40% of their water discharge up against the ceiling and the

remainder downward to the floor, and may be used in either

the upright or pendent position.

Reliable Model F1 Conventional Sprinklers are standard

response fire sprinklers utilizing a 5.0 mm glass bulb thermal

element.

Reliable Model F1FR Conventional Sprinklers are quick

response fire sprinklers utilizing a sensitive 3.0 mm thermal

glass bulb element.

These sprinklers are available in 5.6 (80 metric) and 8.0 (115

metric) K factor.

When used in the pendent position, sprinklers may be

installed exposed or surface mounted using escutcheons

such as the Reliable Models B, C, or HB (reference Technical

Bulletin 204).

Table A provides a summary of the approvals and availability

of specific Model F1 and F1FR Series Conventional sprinkler

configurations. Additional technical information for each

sprinkler model is provided on the following pages.

Installation

Model F1 and F1FR Series sprinklers must be installed with the

Reliable Model W-2 sprinkler installation wrench as identified

in the Design and Installation Information table in this Bulletin.

Any other wrench may damage the sprinkler. The Model W-2

wrench has 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.

Maintenance

Reliable Model F1 and 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.

Consult your Reliable sales representative for details.

2. Paint or any other coating applied over the factory finish will

void all approvals and warranties.

3. For 200°F (93°C) maximum temperature rated sprinklers
