After a 2

(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
the 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
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 F1FR56
QREC Pendent Sprinkler or the use of the Model CCP con-
cealed cover plate assembly on any sprinkler with which
it is not specifically listed may 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.
Maintenance
The Models F1FR56 QREC and F1FR56 QREC Re-
cessed Sprinklers should be inspected quarterly and the
sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA
25. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammo-
nia 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 maintained to allow quick replacement of damaged or
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.
