Installation
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors to minimize
bulb damage during shipping, handling, and installation. Re-
liable sprinkler installation wrenches are designed to install
sprinklers with bulb protectors in place. Remove the bulb pro-
tector at the time when the sprinkler system is placed in service
for fire protection. Removal of the bulb protector before this time
may leave the bulb vulnerable to damage. Remove bulb protec-
tors by undoing the clasp by hand. Do not use tools to remove
bulb protectors.
Models J112 and JL112 series sprinklers must be installed
with the Reliable sprinkler installation wrench identified in this
bulletin. Any other wrench may damage the sprinkler. Recom-
mended installation torque is 14 to 20 lb.ft (19 to 27 N.m). Do
not tighten sprinklers over the maximum recommended installa-
tion torque. Exceeding the maximum recommended installation
torque may cause leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.
Recessed pendent sprinklers are to be installed as shown in
Fig. 6 or Fig 7., as applicable to the specific model being in-
stalled. Models J112 and JL112 series recessed pendent sprin-
klers may only be installed with the Reliable Model F1, Model
F2, or Model FP recessed escutcheon. The use of any other
recessed escutcheon will void all approvals and negate all war-
ranties. The Reliable Model FP escutcheon may not be used
in ceilings having positive pressure with respect to the space
below. Ensure that the openings in the Model FP escutcheon/
can assembly are unobstructed following installation.
Maintenance
Models J112 and JL112 series sprinklers should be inspect-
ed 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 gentle vacu-
uming. Replace 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 un-
til used to minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers that
would cause improper operation or non-operation.
