Product Description
The Reliable Model G6-80 Concealed Quick Response
Extended Coverage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler is an at-
tractive, concealed sprinkler assembly that utilizes a push-
on/pull-off cover plate assembly. The sprinkler assembly is
shipped with a protective cap.
The flat cover plate is attached to the skirt using 135°F
(57°C) ordinary temperature classification solder. The sprin-
kler is installed into the sprinkler fitting using the Model G6
Sprinkler Wrench.
When the ambient temperature rises, the solder holding
the cover plate melts, allowing the release of this part and
thus exposing the sprinkler inside to the rising ambient tem-
perature.
The Model G6-80 utilizes a Quick Response soldered link.
Quick-response sprinklers are designed to apply water to a
fire sooner than standard-response sprinklers of the same
temperature rating.
The Model G6-80 sprinkler is listed for a maximum service
pressure of 175 psi (12,0 bar).
Application and Installation
The Model G6-80 sprinkler is intended for installation in
light hazard occupancies in accordance with NFPA 13. This
sprinkler is especially well-suited for use in non-corrosive
environments in student dormitories, hotels, hospitals and
care facilities.
Model G6-80 Concealed Horizontal Sidewall sprinklers
utilize a sprinkler assembly with spring loaded deployable
deflector feature. The assembly is completed by the instal-
lation of the attractive, 135°F (57°C) push-on/pull-off cover
plate assembly, which provides ¼” (6.3mm) of adjustment.
Apply a Teflon* - based thread sealant to the sprinkler
threads. After a 2
5
/
8
” (66.7mm) diameter hole is cut in the
wall, the sprinkler is installed and properly oriented with the
Model G6 Wrench, as follows:
Do not remove factory installed plastic protective cap
since it is sized to fit inside the G6 wrench. Note that the
sprinkler can only mate when the sprinkler’s deflector ori-
entation tab (Fig. 1) is aligned with wrench’s key-way. The
G6 Wrench has a bubble level pad and TOP to assist the
installer in properly orienting the sprinkler. Final leveling can
be done after leak proof joint is obtained with a minimum to
maximum torque of 14 to 20 ft-lbs (19 to 27 N.m). Do not
attempt to compensate for improper rough in dimensions of
fitting by over tightening the sprinkler assembly, but readjust
the sprinkler fitting instead. Leave the protective cap on to
assure sprinkler protection while the wall is plastered, wall-
papered or painted.
Concealed cover plate/cup assemblies are listed only for
use with specific sprinklers. The use of any other concealed
cover plate/cup assembly with the Model G6-80 Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinkler or the use of this dedicated concealed
cover plate assembly on any sprinkler with which it is not
specifically listed will void all guarantees, warranties, listings
and approvals.
