US Patent No. 6,516,893 applies to the
Model F1 Res 49 & 58 Pendent Sprinklers
Product Description
Model F1Res Pendent sprinklers (Figs. 1, 2, 3 & 4)
combine excellent durability, high sensitivity glass -bulb
and low profile decorative design.
The 3mm glass -bulb pendent sprinklers permit the
efficient use of residential water supplies for sprinkler
coverage in residential fire protection design.
The low flow F1 Res sprinklers are specially
engineered for fast thermal response to meet the
sensitive fire protection application needs of the latest
residential market standards (UL 1626 Standard *).
Upon fire conditions, rising heat causes a sprinkler's
heat - sensitive glass -bulb to shatter, releasing the
waterway for water flow onto the deflector, evenly
distributing the discharged water to control a fire.

Application
Model F1 Res Sprinklers are used for Residential Fire
Protection according to UL 1626 Standard *. Be sure
that orifice size, temperature rating, deflector style and
sprinkler type are in accordance with the latest
published standards of The National Fire Protection
Association or the approving authority having
jurisdiction.
When using F1 Residential Sprinklers for systems
design to NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R, use listed area of
coverage and minimum flow and pressure requirements
shown in Bulletin 135.
For systems designed to NFPA 13, use information in
this bulletin. The number of design sprinklers shall be the
most hydraulically demanding sprinklers as required by
NFPA 13. Flows and pressures can not be below the
baseline flows and pressurers.
NFPA 13
For residential sprinkler systerris designed to NFPA 13,
a minimum density of 0.1 gpm /ft must be provided over
the "design area" that includes the four (4) hydraulically
most demanding sprinklers for the actual coverage
areas being protected by the 4 sprinklers. The minimum
required discharge from each of the four most
hydraulically demanding sprinklers shall be the greater
of the following:
1.The flow rates given in the Reliable Residential
Sprinkler Technical Bulletins referenced in Table A
for NFPA 13D and 13R as a function of temperature
rating and maximum allowable coverage area (for
actual coverage areas less than or between those
indicated in the respective technical bulletin, it is
required to use the minimum required flow for the
next largest coverage area); or
2.A minimum discharge density of 0.1 gpm/ft
2
applied over the "design area" consisting of the four
most hydraulically demanding sprinklers for the
actual coverage areas being protected by the four
sprinklers. The maximum dimension of the actual
coverage area cannot be any greater than the
maximum coverage area indicated in the technical
bulletins referenced in Table A.
Design Note: Using the A = S x L method to
determine the sprinkler protection area of coverag-9
in accordance with NFPA 13, apply the 0.1 gpm /ft
density to this area to determine the minimum
required flog. Compare this flow to the minimum
0.05 gpm /ft cULus Listed flow for the appropriate
coverage area in the technical bulletin for the
specific residential sprinkler. If the flow stated in the
techni al bulletin is less than the calculated 0.1
gpm /f' density flow required, the .1 density flow
must then be used in the equation Q =KVP, solving
for P, to establish the minimum required pressure
using the sprinkler K- factor. Note: In many cases
the listed flow of individual residential sprinkler
may exceed the required minimum 0.05 gpm /ft
density. Reliable has available residential sprinklers
with larger K- factors (K =5.8 and K =7.6) that wi
provide lower pressure demands for 0.1 gpm /ft
densities in NFPA 13 residential applications.
Example No. 1
Room Size= 12 ft x 20 ft (3.6 m x 6.1 m)
Coverage Area= 12 x 20 = 240 ft (22.3 m 2 )
Flow @ 0.10 gpm /ft density= 240 x 0.10 = 24 gpm
Using an F1 Res 49 Pendent Sprinkler, K =4.9
Pressure= (24/4.9) = 24 psi (1.65 bar)
The baseline flow for a 20 ft x 20 ft (6.1 m x 6.1 m)
coverge area using the baseline density of 0.05
gpm /ft will be 20 gpm @ 16.7 psi (75.7 L/min @ 1.14
bar). Therefore, the minimum flow required is 24 gpm @
24 psi (90.8 L/min @ 1.65 bar).
Example No-2
Room Size= 8 ft x 20 ft (2.4 m x 6.1 m)
Coverage Area= 8 x 20 = 160 ft (14.9 m 2 )
Flow @ 0.10 gpm /ft density= 160 x 0.10 = 16 gpm
Using an F1 Res 49 Pendent Sprinkler, K =4.9
Pressure= (16/4.9) = 10.7 psi (0.74 bar)
The baseline flow for a 20 ft x 20 ft (6.1 m x 6.1 m)
coverye area using the baseline density of 0.05
gpm /ft will be 20 gpm @ 16.7 psi (75.7 L/min @ 1.14
bar). Therefore, the minimum flow required is 20 gpm @
16.7 psi (75.7 L/min @ 1.14 bar).
Example No. 3
Room Size= 10 ft x 16 ft (3.0 m x 4.91 m)
Coverage Area= 10 x 16 = 160 ft (14.9 m 2 )
Flow @ 0.10 gpm /ft density= 160 x 0.10 = 16 gpm
Using an F1 Res 76 Pendent Sprinkler, K =7.6
The baseline flow for a 16 ft x 16 ft coverage area is 21
gpm @ 7.6 psi (79.5 L/min @ 0.52 bar). Therefore, the
minimum flow and pressure is 21 gpm @ 7.6 psi (79.5
Umin @ 0.52 bar).
Example No. 4
Room Size= 14ftx 18ft (4.3mx5.5m)
Coverage Area= 14 x 18 = 252 ft (23.6 m 2 )
Flow @ 0.10 gpm /ft density= 252 x 0.10 = 25.2 gpm
(94.6 L/min)
Using an F1 Res 76 Pendent Sprinkler, K =7.6
Pressure= (252/7.6) = 11 psi (0.76 bar)
The baseline flow and pressure of an 18 ft x 18 ft
coverage area is 21 gpm @ 7.6 psi (79.5 L/min @ 0.52
bar). Therefore, the minimum flow and pressure is 25.2
gpm @ 11 psi (94.6 L /min @ 0.76 bar).
In general residential sprinklers require
flows and pressures as listed for 0.05
densities to achieve the proper spray pattern
so the flows and pressures at 0.05 density are
the baseline flows and pressures. Flows and
pressures below the listed 0.05 density shall
not be used.

Maintenance
Model F1 Res 49, F1 Res 58 & F1 Res 76 Sprinklers
should be inspected quarterly, and the sprinkler system
maintained in accordance with NFPA 25, 13, 13D, and
13R. Do not clean sprinkler with soap and water, Ammonia
or any other cleaning fluids. Remove dust by using a soft
brush or gentle vacuuming. 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
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.

Product Description
Model RFC30, RFC43 and RFC49 Concealed Residen-
tial Sprinklers are fast response residential fusible solder
link automatic sprinklers. Residential sprinklers differ from
standard sprinklers primarily in their response time and
water distribution patterns.
Model RFC30, RFC43 and RFC49 sprinklers discharge
water in a hemispherical pattern below the sprinkler de-
flector. Residential distribution patterns are higher and
generally contain a finer droplet size than standard sprin-
kler patterns.
The combination of speed of operation and high dis-
charge pattern required for residential sprinklers has dem-
onstrated, in fire testing, an ability for controlling residen-
tial fires, and thereby providing significant evacuation time
for occupants.
The RFC30, RFC43 and RFC49 Sprinklers provide the
best form of fire protection by combining an attractive ap-
pearance and Y2" (13mm) of cover adjustment for ease of
installation. The small diameter cover plate is easily and
positively attached and blends into the ceiling, concealing

Residential Flat Concealed
Sprinklers
the most dependable fire protection available, an automat-
ic sprinkler system.
The RFC30, RFC43 and RFC49 are UL Listed Residential
Sprinklers to be installed in the residential portions of any
occupancy in accordance with NFPA 13, 13R, & 13D.
The RFC30, RFC43 and RFC49 can reduce the need for
precise cutting of drop nipples. The threaded cover plate
assembly can be adjusted without tools to fit accurately
against the ceiling. The fire protection system need not be
shut down to adjust or remove the cover plate assembly.
Application and Installation
The RFC30, RFC43 and RFC49, for residential installa-
tions, use a 165 °F (74 °C) fusible solder link in a tuning fork
style sprinkler frame with a drop -down deflector. This as-
sembly is recessed into the ceiling and concealed by a flat
cover plate. The cover plate is attached to the skirt, using
135 °F (57 °C) ordinary temperature classification solder.
When the ceiling temperature rises, the solder holding
the cover plate releases the cover allowing the deflector
to drop into position and exposing the sprinkler inside to

ceiling temperature. The subsequent operation of the sol-
der link opens the waterway and causes the deflector to
drop into position to distribute the discharging water in a
hemispherical pattern below the sprinkler deflector. Any
adjustment of thread engagement between the cover
plate and cup will assure that the drop -down deflector is
properly located below the ceiling. The residential distri-
bution pattern contains a finer droplet size than a standard
sprinkler, and the pattern produces significantly higher
wall wetting.
After a 2 /s inch diameter hole is cut in the ceiling, the
sprinkler is to be installed with the Model FC Wrench.
When installing a sprinkler, the wrench is first positioned
into the sprinkler /cup assembly and around the hexagonal
body of the sprinkler frame. The Wrench must bottom out
against the cup in order to ensure proper, safe installation.
The sprinkler is then tightened into the pipe fitting. When
inserting or removing the wrench from the sprinkler /cup
assembly, care should be taken to prevent damage to
the sprinkler. DO NOT WRENCH ON ANY OTHER PART
Temperature Rating
OF THE SPRINKLER /CUP ASSEMBLY. MODEL RFC30,
RFC43 AND RFC49 CONCEALED SPRINKLERS MUST
BE INSTALLED ONLY WITH 135 °F RATED COVERS.
Note: A leak tight Y2" NPT (R1/2) sprinkler joint can be ob-
tained with a torque of 8 -18 ft -lbs (10,8 - 24,4 N -m). Do not
tighten sprinklers over maximum recommended torque. It
may cause leakage or impairment of the sprinklers.
Cover assemblies provide up to 1 /2 " ( 13mm) of adjust-
ment. Turn the cover clockwise until the flange is in con-
tact with the ceiling. For the push -on /thread -off option, the
cover assembly is pushed onto the cup and final adjust-
ment is made by turning the cover clockwise until the skirt
flange makes full contact with the ceiling. Cover removal
requires turning in the counter - clockwise direction.
In ceilings that have a plenum space above the sprinkler,
the plenum space may have neutral or negative pressur-
ization but must not be positively pressurized. Inspect all
sprinklers after installation to ensure that the gap between
the cover plate and ceiling and the 4 slots in the cup are
all open and free from any air flow impediment.

Maintenance
Model RFC30, RFC43 and RFC49 Concealed 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 fluids. Remove dust by using a soft brush or gen-
tle vacuuming. Remove any sprinkler cover plate assem-
bly 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.
