Installation
Quick response sprinklers are intended for installation
as specified in NFPA 13. Quick response sprinklers and
standard response sprinklers should not be intermixed.
The Model F1FR56-300 QREC Pendent and Recessed
Sprinklers are to be installed as illustrated. The Model F1,
F2, and FP escutcheons illustrated are the only recessed
escutcheons to be used with the these sprinklers. The use
of any other recessed escutcheon will void all approvals
and negate all warranties.
When installing Model F1FR56-300 QREC Pendent
Sprinklers, use the Model D Sprinkler Wrench or Model
W2 Sprinkler Wrench. When installing F1FR56-300 QREC
Recessed Pendent Sprinkler, use the Model GFR2 Sprin-
kler Wrench. Any other type of wrench may damage these
sprinklers.
Model F1FR56-300 QREC Concealed Sprinklers use
135°F (57°C) or 155°F (68°C) Model F1FR56-300 QREC
Pendent Sprinklers with a threaded Model CCP cup which
is factory attached to the sprinkler. The assembly is com-
pleted by the installation of the attractive, low profile, 135°F
(57°C) rated cover plate assembly. The cover plate and
sprinkler cup are joined using a flexible tooth threaded en-
gagement. A choice of two cover plate assemblies pro-
vides either ½” (13mm) or 5/16” (8mm) of cover adjust-
ment.
Do not install these sprinklers in ceilings which have pos-
itive pressure in the space above.
After a 2
5
/
8
” (67mm) inch diameter hole is cut in the ceil-
ing, the sprinkler is easily installed with the Model RC1
Wrench. When installing a sprinkler, the protective cap
is removed and the wrench is positioned into the sprin-
kler/cup assembly until the two wrench faces engage the
wrenching flats on the Model F1FR56 QREC Sprinkler.
The sprinkler is then tightened into the pipe fitting. When
inserting or removing the wrench from the sprinkler/cup
assembly, care should be taken to prevent damage to
the sprinkler. DO NOT WRENCH ON ANY OTHER PART
OF THE SPRINKLER. The cover plate assembly is then
pressed into the cup. Final adjustment is made by turning
the cover plate until the skirt flange makes full contact with
he ceiling surface. Cover plate removal requires turning in
the counter clockwise direction.
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
