Product Description

Reliable Model F1FR series sprinklers are quick-response 

standard spray automatic fire sprinklers utilizing a sensitive 3.0 mm 
glass bulb thermal element.

Pendent and horizontal sidewall sprinklers may be installed 
exposed or surface mounted using escutcheons such as the 
Reliable Models B, C, or HB (reference Technical Bulletin 204). 
When installed recessed, the Model F1FR28 series sprinklers 
are specifically listed with and may only be installed with listed 
Reliable escutcheons. Refer to the technical information on the 
following pages for specific listings for recessed installations and 
refer to Figure 3 for dimensional information.

When fitted with an approved water shield, these sprinklers may 
considered intermediate sprinklers for use in racks, below grated 
walkways, and other areas where intermediate level sprinklers are 

required.

Table A provides a summary of the approvals and availability of 
specific Model F1FR series sprinkler configurations. Additional 
technical information for each sprinkler model is provided on the 

following pages.

Note: 

This bulletin may contain information on New and Legacy 

sprinklers that reflects a dimensional change only. Sprinkler
Identification Number (SIN), application, performance, and 

listings/approval are not otherwise affected. Sprinklers with new 

frames can be identified by a rotoclip indent on one side of the 
wrench boss and in some cases an installed rotoclip. Sprinklers 
with new frames will include the suffix “N” in the order. For 
reference only, legacy version of this sprinkler can be found on
Technical Bulletin 014.
