Model RFC Series Residential Sprinklers
Flat Cover Plate, Concealed Pendent Sprinkler cULus Listed
Bulletin 006 Rev. K February 2017
Product Features
• cULus Listed as Residential Sprinklers
• Push-On cover plate installation
• Low water flow requirements
Product Description
Model RFC Series residential sprinklers are flat cover plate,
concealed pendent sprinklers intended for installation in
accordance with NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, or NFPA 13D. The
sprinklers are cULus Listed as Residential Sprinklers in ac-
cordance with UL 1626.
Model RFC30, RFC43, and RFC49 sprinklers have a 165°F
(74°C) temperature rated fusible-link operating element.
Model RFC58 sprinklers are offered with either a 165°F
(74°C) or 212°F (100°C) temperature rated fusible-link op-
erating element. Sprinklers with a 165°F (74°C) temperature
rating are ordinary temperature classification and should
be used with a 135°F (57°C) temperature rated cover plate.
Sprinklers with a 212°F (100°C) temperature rating are inter-
mediate temperature classification and should be used with
a 165°F (74°C) temperature rated cover plate.
Model RFC Series sprinklers are installed with a Model RFC
cover plate. Model RFC cover plates may be installed by
either pushing or threading the cover plate into the sprinkler
cup. Model RFC30, RFC43, and RFC49 sprinklers allow 1/2”
(13 mm) of cover plate adjustment. Model RFC58 sprinklers
allow 3/4” (19 mm) of cover plate adjustment.
Model RFC cover plates are available in a variety of finishes
as listed in Table H. In addition, Model RFC cover plates
may be ordered as either traditional solid cover plates or
perforated cover plates.

to installation. A 1/2” x 1/2” brass nipple extension (Reliable P/N 6999991900) is available where necessary for replacement of existing sprinklers.
2. For use with 165°F (74°C) temperature rated sprinklers where the Maximum Ceiling Temperature does not exceed 100°F (38°C). 3. For use with 212°F (100°C) temperature rated sprinklers with the Maximum Ceiling Temperature does not exceed 150°F (66°C).
Table JInstallation Dimensions
Installation
Model RFC series sprinklers are intended to be installed in ac-
cordance with NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, or NFPA 13D, as well as the
requirements of applicable authorities having jurisdiction. Mod-
el RFC series sprinklers must not be installed in ceilings with
positive pressure in the space above. Ensure that the 4 slots in
the cup are open and unobstructed following installation. Model
RFC series sprinklers are shipped with a protective cap that
should remain on the sprinkler until installed. The protective cap
should be replaced following installation of the sprinkler and
permanently removed only when the cover plate is installed and
the sprinkler system is placed in service following construction.
Model RFC series sprinklers are installed with the Model FC
wrench. The use of any other wrench to installed Model RFC se-
ries sprinklers is not permitted and may damage the sprinkler.
Temporarily remove the protective cap during installation of the
sprinkler. Insert the Model FC wrench over the sprinkler until the
wrench engages the body. Do not wrench any other part of the
sprinkler/cup assembly. The Model FC wrench is designed to
be turned with a standard 1/2” square drive. Tighten the sprin-
kler into the fitting after applying a PTFE based thread sealant
to the sprinkler’s threads. Recommended installation torque is 8
to 18 ft/lb (11 to 24 N/m).
Do not exceed the maximum recommended torque. Exceeding
the maximum recommended torque may cause leakage or im-
pairment of the sprinkler. Use care when inserting or removing
the wrench from the sprinkler to avoid damage to the sprinkler.
Install the cover plate by hand by pushing the cover plate into
the cup and turning the cover in the clockwise direction until it
is tight against the ceiling.
Application
Model RFC series sprinklers are intended for installation where
residential sprinklers are permitted or required by NFPA 13,
NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D. The sprinklers are concealed pen-
dent residential sprinklers.
Model RFC 30, RFC43, and RFC49 sprinklers are available in
ordinary temperature classification for installation where the
Maximum Ceiling Temperature does not exceed 100°F (38°C).
Model RFC58 sprinklers are available in either ordinary or in-
termediate temperature classification for installation where the
Maximum Ceiling Temperature does not exceed 100°F (38°C)
or 150°F (66°C), respectively.

Patents
Model RFC30, RFC43, RFC49, and RFC58 sprinklers are
covered by U.S. Patent No. 9,248,327 and U.S. Patent No.
7,275,603.
Model RFC30 and RFC43 sprinklers are additionally covered
by U.S. Patent No. 8,776,903.
Ordering Information
Specify the following when ordering.

Maintenance
Model RFC series sprinklers should be inspected 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 gentle vacuuming. Replace
any sprinkler cover plate assembly which has been painted
(other than factory applied) or damaged in any way. A stock of
spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick replace-
ment 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 operation or non-oper-
ation.
