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 easily 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.
This quick response enables the sprinkler to apply water to a
fire sooner than standard sprinklers of the same temperature
rating.
This 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 student dormito-
ries, 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 easily 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 orientation tab
(Fig. 1) is aligned with wrench’s key-way. G6 wrench is pro-
vided with bubble level pad and TOP marking, features that
assure proper orientation of the internally retained horizontal
sidewall deflector. Final leveling can be done after leak proof
joint is obtained with a minimum to maximum torque of 10 to
20 ft-lbs (13,4 to 26,8 N.m). Do not attempt to compensate
for improper rough in dimensions of fitting by over tighten-
ing the sprinkler assembly, but readjust the sprinkler fitting
instead. Leave the protective cap on to assure sprinkler pro-
tection while the wall is plastered, wallpapered 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.
