Application
Model F156, F142, F1XLH, F128 & Model F156, F142, F1XLH &
F128 Recessed sprinklers are used in fixed fire protection systems:
Wet, Dry, Deluge or Preaction. Care must exercised that the orifice
size, temperature rating, deflector style and sprinkler type are in ac-
cordance with the latest published standards of the National Fire
Protection Association or the approving Authority Having Jurisdic-
tion Installation.
Installation
Model F156, F142, F1XLH & F128 Series sprinklers are stan-
dard response sprinklers intended for installation as specified in
NFPA 13. They must also be installed with the Model W2 Sprinkler
Wrench specifically designed by Reliable for use with these sprin-
klers.
The Model F156, F142, F1XLH & F128 Recessed Sprinklers
are to be installed with a maximum recess of ¾ inch (19mm). The
Model F1, F2, and FP Escutcheon illustrated are the only recessed
escutcheon to be used with the Model F156, F142, F1XLH & F128
Recessed Sprinklers. The use of any other recessed escutcheon
will void all approvals and negate all warranties. When installing
Model F156, F142, F1XLH & F128 Recessed Sprinklers use the
Model GFR2 Sprinkler Wrench. Any other type of wrench may
damage these sprinklers.
Note:
A leak tight ½” NPT (R½) sprinkler joint can be obtained with
a torque of 8 - 18 ft-lbs (11 - 24 N-m). Do not tighten sprinklers over
maximum recommended torque. It may cause leakage or impair-
ment of the sprinklers.
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange covers to protect the bulb dur-
ing the installation process. REMOVE THIS PROTECTION ONLY
AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN HYDROSTATICALLY TESTED
AND, WHEN APPLICABLE, THE ESCUTCHEONS HAVE BEEN
INSTALLED. RASCO wrenches are designed to install sprinklers
when covers are in place.

Maintenance
The Model F156, F142, F1XLH & Model F156, F142, F1X-
LH & F128 Recessed 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 fluid. Replace 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 sprin-
klers. 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 im-
proper operation or non-operation.
