The 3mm glass-bulb pendent sprinklers permit the effi-
cient use of residential water supplies for sprinkler cover-
age in residential fire protection design.
The low flow F1 Res sprinklers are specially engineered
for fast thermal response to meet the sensitive fire protec-
tion application needs of the latest residential market stan-
dards (UL 1626 Standard). Upon fire conditions, rising
heat causes a sprinkler’s heat-sensitive glass-bulb to shat-
ter, releasing the waterway for water flow onto the deflector,
evenly distributing the discharged water to control a fire.
Technical Data:
Thermal Sensor: Nominal 3mm glass-bulb

Application
Model F1 Res Sprinklers are used for Residential Fire Pro-
tection according to UL 1626 Standard*. Be sure that ori-
fice 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.
Installation
Models F1 Res sprinklers are to be installed as shown.
Model F1, F2 and FP Escutcheons, illustrated herewith,
are the only recessed escutcheons to be used with Model
F1 Res sprinklers. Use of any other recessed escutcheon
will void all approvals and warranties. For installing Model
F1 Res Pendent sprinklers use only the Model D sprinkler
Wrench; for installing Models F1 Res Recessed Pendent,

Maintenance
Model F1 Res 30, 49, F1 Res 58, F1 Res 76 and F1 Res 44
Sprinklers should be inspected quarterly, and the sprinkler sys-
tem maintained in accordance with NFPA 25, 13, 13D, and 13R.
Do not clean sprinkler with soap and water, Ammonia or any oth-
er cleaning fluids. Remove dust by using a soft brush or gentle
vacuuming. Remove any sprinkler which has been painted (oth-
er 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 ½” (13mm) of cover adjustment for ease of
installation. The small diameter cover plate is easily and
positively attached and blends into the ceiling, concealing
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
2.
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 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 RFC30,
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 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.
