Installation
Model F1-300 Sprinklers are standard response
sprinklers intended for installation as specified in NFPA 13.
They must be installed with the Model D Sprinkler Wrench
specifically designed by Reliable for use with these
sprinklers.
Model F1-300 Recessed Pendent Sprinklers are to be
installed with a maximum recess of ¾
²
(19mm). The
Model F1 Escutcheon illustrated is the only recessed
escutcheon to be used with Model F1-300 Pendent
Sprinklers. The use of any other recessed escutcheon will
void all approvals and negate all warranties.
When installing Model F1-300 Recessed Pendent
Sprinklers, use the Model GFR1 Sprinkler Wrench. Any
other type of wrench may damage these sprinklers.
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.
Maintenance
The Model F1-300 Upright, Pendent and Recessed
Pendent Sprinklers 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 fluid. Remove any
sprinkler that has been painted (other that factory
applied) or damaged in any way. A stock of spare
sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick
replacement of damaged of 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-operation.
