The Models F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42, F1FR42LL, F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Series Recessed automatic sprinklers utilize a 3.0 mm frangible glass bulb. These sprinklers 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, F1FR56LL, Pendent Conventional Recessed Pendent/F1/F2 Upright Vertical Sidewall Horizontal Sidewall Recessed Horizontal Sidewall RecessedPendent/FP Concealed Pendent XLH Upright XLH Pendent XLH Recessed Pendent F1/F2 XLH Recessed Pendent FP F1FR42, F1FR42LL, F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Series sprinklers to apply wa- ter to a fire much faster than standard sprinklers of the same temperature rat- ing. The glass bulb consists of an accu- rately controlled amount of special fluid hermetically sealed inside a precisely manufactured glass capsule. This glass bulb is specially constructed 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. 2.

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 stan- dard response sprinklers should not be intermixed. The Model F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42, F1FR42LL, F1FRXLH & F1FR28 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, F1FR56LL, F1FR42, F1FR42LL, F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Sprinklers. The use of any other recessed escutcheon will void all approvals and ne- gate all warranties. When installing Model F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42, F1FR42LL, F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Sprinklers, use the Model D Sprinkler Wrench. Use the Model GFR2 Wrench for install- ing F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42, F1FR42LL, F1FRXLH & F1FR28 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 sprinklers. The Models F1FR56/CCP & F1FR56LL/CCP Concealed Sprinkler use the ½” orifice, ½” NPT (R1/2), Model F1FR56 & F1FR56LL Pendent Sprinkler with a threaded Model CCP cup which is factory attached to the sprinklers. The Model F1FR56 Pndent is available in temperature rating of 135°F (57°C), 155°F (68°C), 175°F (79°C) or 200°F (93°C). The Model F1FR56LL Pendent is available only in a rating of 200°F (93°C). The concealed sprinkler assemblies are com- pleted by the installation of the attractive low profile Model CCP push on cover plate assembly, rated 135°F (57°C) or 165°F (74°C) for the F1FR56 and 165°F (74°C) for the FIFR56 LL. The cover plate and sprinkler cup assemblies are joined using a cover plate skirt with flexible tabs for threaded en- gagement. A choice of two cover plate assemblies provide either 1/2” (13mm) or 5/8” (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 ceiling, the sprinkler is easily installed with the Model RC1 Wrench. A Teflon* based thread sealant should be applied to the sprin- kler 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 tak- en 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. 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 impedi- ment to the space above. Concealed cover plate/cup assemblies are listed only for use with specific sprinklers. The use of any other concealed 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 specifi- cally 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 in- stallation. 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 wrench- es 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 PRO- TECTORS. 6. *DuPont Registered Trade Mark Figure 1 Figure 2 Temperature Ratings Classiﬁ cation Sprinkler Temperature Max.

Maintenance The Model F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42, F1FR42LL, F1FRXLH and Model F1FR56, F1FR56LL, F1FR42, F1FR42LL, F1FRXLH & F1FR28 Recessed Sprinklers should be inspected and the sprinkler system maintained in accor- dance 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 which has been painted (other than factory ap- plied) or damaged in any way. A stock of spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick replacement of dam- aged or operated sprinklers. Prior to installation, 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.
