Product Description The Reliable Model G5-56 and G5-42 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 assembly. The threaded engagement provides ¾” (19mm) of cover adjust- ment. The flat cover plate is attached to the skirt using either 135°F (57°C) or 165°F (74°C) ordinary temperature classifica- tion 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. Application The Reliable Model G5-56 and G5-42 are the most versatile quick response concealed sprinklers available. It provides the best form of fire protection while offering an attractive ap- pearance and 3/4” (19mm) of cover adjustment for ease of installation. The small diameter cover plate assembly is eas- ily attached and blends into the ceiling, concealing the most dependable fire protection available, an automatic sprinkler system. The Model G5-56 and G5-42 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 and G5-42 is a UL Listed Quick Response Concealed sprinklers intended for use in accordance with NFPA 13. FM Approves the G5-56 sprinkler as a standard re- sponse concealed sprinkler intended for use in accordance with FM Loss Prevention Data Sheet 2.0. Plain Cover Plate Perforated Cover Plate Installation Do not install the G5-56 and G5-42 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 and G5-42 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 any sprinkler that has been painted (other than factory applied) or damaged in any way. A stock of spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick re- placement of damaged or operated sprinklers. Prior to installa- tion, sprinklers should be maintained in the original cartons and packaging to minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers that would cause improper operation or non-operation.

VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH UL Listing Category Sprinklers, Automatic & Open (VNIV) Quick Response Sprinkler Product Description Reliable Models F1FR56 Series Sprinklers are quick re- sponse sprinklers which combine the durability of a stan- dard sprinkler with the attractive low profile of a decorative sprinkler. The Models F1FR56 Series Recessed automatic sprin- klers utilize a 3.0 mm frangible glass bulb. These sprin- klers have demonstrated response times in laboratory tests which are five to ten times faster than standard response sprinklers. This quick response enables the Model F1FR56 Series sprinklers to apply water to a fire much faster than standard sprinklers of the same temperature rating. The glass bulb consists of an accurately controlled amount of special fluid hermetically sealed inside a precisely manu- factured glass capsule. This glass bulb is specially con- structed to provide fast thermal response. At normal temperatures, the glass bulb contains the fluid in both the liquid and vapor phases. The vapor phase can be seen as a small bubble. As heat is applied, the liquid expands, forcing the bubble smaller and smaller as the liq- uid 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 distrib- ute the discharging water. Pendent Conventional Recessed Pendent/F1/F2 Upright Application Quick response sprinklers are used in fixed fire protec- tion systems: Wet, Dry, Deluge or Preaction. Care must be exercised that the orifice size, temperature rating, deflec- tor style and sprinkler type are in accordance with the lat- est published standards of the National Fire Protection As- sociation or the approving Authority Having Jurisdiction. Quick response sprinklers are intended for installation as specified in NFPA 13. Quick response sprinklers and stan- dard response sprinklers should not be intermixed.

Figure 1 Figure 2 Installation Aid A protective cap is included for use during installation. Important: The F1FR56 Sprinkler with Model CCP cover plate is not an FM Approved combination. Installation Quick response sprinklers are intended for installation as specified in NFPA 13. Quick response sprinklers and standard response sprinklers should not be intermixed. The Model F1FR56 Recessed Quick Response Sprin- klers are to be installed as shown. The Model F1 or F2 Es- cutcheons illustrated are the only recessed escutcheons to be used with the Model F1FR56 Sprinklers. The use of any other recessed escutcheon will void all approvals and negate all warranties. When installing Model F1FR56 Sprinklers, use the Mod- el D Sprinkler Wrench. Use the Model GFR2 Wrench for installing F1FR56 Recessed Pendent Sprinklers. Any other type of wrench may damage these sprinklers. 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 sprin- klers. The Model F1FR56/ CCP Concealed Sprinkler uses the ½” orifice, ½” NPT (R1/2), 135°F (57°C), 155°F (68°C), 175°F (79°C) or 200°F (93°C) Model F1FR56 Pendent Sprinkler with a threaded Model CCP cup which is fac- tory attached to the sprinkler. The assembly is complet- ed by the installation of the attractive, low profile, 135°F (57°C) or 165°F (74°C) rated Model CCP push on cover plate assembly. The cover plate and sprinkler cup as- semblies are joined using a cover plate skirt with flexible tabs for threaded engagement. A choice of two cover plate assemblies provide either ½” (13mm) or 5/16” (8mm) of cover adjustment. Do not install these sprinklers in ceiling which have positive pressure in the space above. After a 25/8” (67mm) diameter hole is cut in the ceil- ing, the sprinkler is easily installed with the Model RC1 Wrench. A Teflon* based thread sealant should be applied to the sprinkler threads only. The Model RC1 Wrench is then used to engage the sprinkler wrenching surfaces and to install the sprinkler in the 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. The cover plate is then pushed onto the cup. Final adjustment is made by hand turning the cover plate until the skirt flange makes full contact with the ceiling. Cover plate removal requires turning in the counter clockwise direction. 4. *DuPont Registered Trade Mark 5. After installation, inspect all sprinklers to ensure that there is a gap between the cover plate and ceiling and that the four cup slots are open and free from any air flow impediment to the space above. Concealed cover plate/cup assemblies are listed only for use with specific sprinklers. The use of any other con- cealed cover plate/cup assembly with the Model F1FR56 Pendent Sprinkler or the use of the Model CCP Concealed cover plate assembly on any sprinkler with which it is not specifically listed my prevent good fire protection and will void all guarantees, warranties, listings and approvals. Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors to minimize bulb damage during shipping, handling and installation. REMOVE THIS PROTECTION AT THE TIME THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM IS PLACED IN SERVICE FOR FIRE PROTECTION. Removal of the protectors before this time may leave the bulb vulnerable to damage. RASCO wrenches are designed to install sprinklers when covers are in place. REMOVE PROTECTORS BY UNDOING THE CLASP BY HAND. DO NOT USE TOOLS TO REMOVE THE PROTECTORS.
