Upon fire conditions, rising heat causes a sprinkler’s heat-sensitive glass-bulb to shatter, releasing the water- way for water flow onto the deflector, evenly distributing the discharged water to control a fire.

F1 Res 44 SWC F1 Res 58 HSWX 2. Application Model F1 Res Sprinklers are used for Residential Fire Pro- tection 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 systems designed to NFPA 13, a minimum density of 0.1 gpm/ft2 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 dis- charge 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 re- quired to use the minimum required flow for the next largest coverage area); or 2. A minimum discharge density of 0.1 gpm/ft2 applied over the “design area” consisting of the four most hy- draulically demanding sprinklers for the actual cov- erage 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 As = S x L method to deter- mine the sprinkler protection area of coverage in ac- cordance with NFPA 13, apply the 0.1 gpm/ft2 density to this area to determine the minimum required flow. Compare this flow to the minimum 0.05 gpm/ft2 cU- Lus Listed flow for the appropriate coverage area in the technical bulletin for the specific residential sprin- kler. If the flow stated in the technical bulletin is less than the calculated 0.1 gpm/ft2 density flow required, the .1 density flow must then be used in the equation Q=K, solving for P, to establish the minimum required pressure using the sprinkler K-factor. Note: In many cases the listed flow of individual residential sprin- klers may exceed the required minimum 0.05 gpm/ft2 density. Reliable has available residential sprinklers with larger K-factors (K=5.8 and K=7.6) that will pro- vide lower pressure demands for 0.1 gpm/ft2 densi- ties 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 ft2 (22.3 m2) Flow @ 0.10 gpm/ft2 density= 240 x 0.10 = 24 gpm Using an F1 Res 49 Pendent Sprinkler, K=4.9 Pressure= (24/4.9)2 = 24 psi (1.65 bar) The baseline flow for a 20 ft x 20 ft (6.1 m x 6.1 m) cover- age area using the baseline density of 0.05 gpm/ft2 will be 20 gpm @ 16.7 psi (75.7 L/min @ 1.14 bar). There- fore, 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 ft2 (14.9 m2) Flow @ 0.10 gpm/ft2 density= 160 x 0.10 = 16 gpm Using an F1 Res 49 Pendent Sprinkler, K=4.9 Pressure= (16/4.9)2 = 10.7 psi (0.74 bar) The baseline flow for a 20 ft x 20 ft (6.1 m x 6.1 m) cover- age area using the baseline density of 0.05 gpm/ft2 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 ft2 (14.9 m2) Flow @ 0.10 gpm/ft2 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 L/min @ 0.52 bar). Example No. 4 Room Size= 14 ft x 18 ft (4.3 m x 5.5 m) Coverage Area= 14 x 18 = 252 ft2 (23.6 m2) Flow @ 0.10 gpm/ft2 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)2 = 11 psi (0.76 bar) The baseline flow and pressure of an 18 ft x 18 ft cover- age 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 ﬂ ows and pressures as listed for 0.05 densities to achieve the proper spray pattern so the ﬂ ows and pressures at 0.05 density are the baseline ﬂ ows and pressures. Flows and pressures below the listed 0.05 density shall not be used. 3. 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 Mod- el F1 Res sprinklers. Use of any other recessed escutch- eon 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, CCP sprinklers use only the Model GFR2 sprin- kler wrench; for installing Model F1 Res recessed HSW sprinklers use only the Model GFR2 Sprinkler wrench. Use of wrenches other than those specified may dam- age these sprinklers. Note: A ‘leak tight” sprinkler joint can be obtained with the following torque: • 3/4” NPT (R3/4) – 14-20 ft-lbs (19 - 27.1 N-m) • ½” NPT (R1/2) – 8-18 ft-lbs (10.8 – 24.4 N-m) Do not tighten sprinklers over maximum recom- mended torque. It may cause leakage or impairment of the sprinklers.

Maintenance Model F1 Res 30, 49, F1 Res 58 & F1 Res 76 Sprin- klers 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. Re- move 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 im- proper operation or non-operation.

NYC MEA 258-93-E UL Listing Categories Residential Automatic Sprinklers UL Guide Number VKKW 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 demonstrated, in fire testing, an ability for controlling residential fires, and thereby providing significant evacu- ation 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, con- cealing the most dependable fire protection available, an automatic sprinkler system. The RFC30, RFC43 and RFC49 are UL Listed Residen- tial 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 ac- curately against the ceiling. The fire protection system need not be shut down to adjust or remove the cover plate assembly. 2. Application and Installation The RFC30, RFC43 and RFC49, for residential instal- lations, use a 165°F (74°C) fusible solder link in a tun- ing 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 classifica- tion 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 solder link opens the waterway and causes the de- flector to drop into position to distribute the discharging water in a hemispherical pattern below the sprinkler de- flector. 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 resi- dential distribution pattern contains a finer droplet size than a standard sprinkler, and the pattern produces sig- nificantly 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 hexago- nal body of the sprinkler frame. The Wrench must bottom out against the cup in order to ensure proper, safe instal- lation. The sprinkler is then tightened into the pipe fitting. When inserting or removing the wrench from the sprin- kler/cup assembly, care should be taken to prevent dam- age 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 COV- ERS. 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 ad- justment is made by turning the cover clockwise until the skirt flange makes full contact with the ceiling. Cover re- moval requires turning in the counter-clockwise direction. In ceilings that have a plenum space above the sprin- kler, 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 impedi- ment.

Maintenance Model RFC30, RFC43 and RFC49 Concealed Sprin- klers 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 gentle vacuuming. Remove any sprinkler cover plate assembly which has been painted (other than factory ap- plied) or damaged in any way. A stock of spare sprin- klers 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 opera- tion or non-operation. Model RFC30, RFC43 and RFC49 Residential Concealed Sprinkler Speciﬁ cation Sprinklers shall be cULus Listed low flow residential con- cealed sprinklers with drop-down deflector and adjust- able flat cover plate engineered for a minimum design density of 0.05 gpm/ft2. Sprinkler frame and deflector shall be of bronze frame construction having a ½” NPT thread. Thermal element shall consist of an approved black-painted beryllium-nickel fusible solder link with symmetric lever mechanism, maintaining a Teflon-coated Belleville spring washer and machined brass cap water seal assembly containing no plastic parts. Sprinkler K-factor shall be nominal 3.0 (44), 4.3 (62.4), and 4.91 (70) having a 5/16”, 3/8” and 7/16” orifice. Temperature rating shall be Ordinary 165°F (74°C); cover plate temperature rating to be 135°F (57°C). Cover plate assembly shall consist of a brass cover plate and copper alloy retainer flange allowing a ½” cover plate adjustment. Any secure engagement between the cover plate and the cup will assure that the drop-down deflector is properly located below the ceiling. A plastic protective cap shall be provided and factory installed inside the sprinkler cup to protect the drop-down sprinkler deflector from dam- age, which could occur during construction before the cover plate is installed.
