NYC MEA 258-93-E Slope Ceiling Approvals: Sprinklers for .10 Density: Product Description Model F1Res Pendent sprinklers (Figs. 1, 2, 3,&4) are fast response sprinklers combining excellent durability, high sensitivity glass-bulb and low profile decorative design. The F1 Res Horizontal Sidewall sprinklers (Figs. 5, 6&7) are equally attractivewhen above ceiling piping cannot be used. The 3mm glass-bulb pendent sprinklers permit the efficient use of residential water supplies for sprinkler coverage in residential fire protection design. 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.F1Res30, 49, 58&76 RecessedPendent /F1 F1Res30, 49, 58&76 RecessedPendent /FP F1 Res 30, 49, 58 & 76 CCP Pendent F1 Res 40 Recessed HSW/F2 UL Listing Category Residential Automatic Sprinkler UL Guide Number VKKW Patents US Patent No. 6,516,893 applies to the Model F1 Res 49 & 58 Pendent Sprinklers 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.

Cover Plate Finish Maintenance Model F1 Res 30, 49, F1 Res 58, F1 Res 76, F1 Res 44 and F1 Res 40 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.

E Model RFC43 (SIN RA0612) Model RFC49 (SIN RA0616) Residential Flat Concealed Sprinklers A Residential Flat Concealed Sprinkler engineered for a minimum design density of 0.05 gpm/ft2 with low GPM requirements. Features Very low water flow requirements. ½” (13mm) Total adjustment. Thread-On/Thread-Off or Push-On/Thread Off cover attachment option. Smooth aesthetic ceiling profile. Available in brass, chrome and black plated or painted finishes. Listings & Approval Listed by Underwriters Laboratories, and certified by UL for Canada (cULus) NYC MEA 258-93-E UL Listing Categories Residential Automatic Sprinklers UL Guide Number VKKW Product Description Model RFC43 and RFC49 Concealed Residential 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 RFC43 and RFC49 sprinklers discharge water in a hemispherical pattern below the sprinkler deflector. Residential distribution patterns are higher and generally contain a finer droplet size than standard sprinkler patterns. The combination of speed of operation and high discharge pattern required for residential sprinklers has demonstrated, in fire testing, an ability for controlling residential fires, and thereby providing significant evacuation time for occupants. The RFC43 and RFC49 Sprinklers provide the best form of fire protection by combining an attractive appearance and ½” (13mm) of cover adjustment for ease of installation. The small diameter cover plate is easily and posi-1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1. 2. tively attached and blends into the ceiling, concealing the most dependable fire protection available, an automatic sprinkler system. The 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 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 RFC43 and RFC49, for residential installations, use a 165°F (74°C) fusible solder link in a tuning fork style sprinkler frame with a drop-down deflector. This assembly 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 ceil 2. ing 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 solder 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 distribution pattern contains a finer droplet size than a standard sprinkler, and the pattern produces significantly higher wall wetting. After a 25/8 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 OF THE SPRINKLER/CUP ASSEMBLY. MODEL RFC43 AND RFC49 CONCEALED SPRINKLERS MUST BE INSTALLED ONLY WITH 135°F RATED COVERS. Note: A leak tight ½” NPT (R1/2) sprinkler joint can be obtained 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 adjustment. Turn the cover clockwise until the flange is in contact with the ceiling. For the push-on/thread-off option, the cover assembly is pushed onto the cup and final adjustment 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 pressurization 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.
