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
impediment to the space above.
Concealed cover plate/cup assemblies are listed only
for use with specific sprinklers. The use of any other con-
cealed cover plate/cup assembly with the Model F1FR
56 Pendent Sprinkler or the use of the Model CCP Con-
cealed cover plate assembly on any sprinkler with which
it is not specifically listed my prevent good fire protection
and will void all guarantees, warranties, listings and ap-
provals.
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.

hazard only.
Maintenance
The Models F1FR 56 and F1FR 56 Recessed 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 fluids. Remove dust by using a soft brush or
gentle vacuuming. Remove any sprinkler which has
been painted (other than factory applied) or damaged
in any way. A stock of spare sprinklers should be main-
tained to allow quick replacement of damaged or oper-
ated sprinklers. Prior to installation, sprinklers should be
maintained in the original cartons and packaging to mini-
mize the potential for damage to sprinklers that would
cause improper operation or non-operation.
