Product Description

Model RFC Series residential sprinklers are flat cover plate, 
concealed pendent sprinklers intended for installation in accor-
dance with NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, or NFPA 13D. The sprinklers 
are cULus Listed as Residential Sprinklers in accordance with 
UL 1626.

Model RFC30, RFC43, and RFC49 sprinklers have a 165 °F 
(74 °C) temperature rated fusible-link operating element. Mod-
el RFC58 sprinklers are offered with either a 165 °F (74 °C) or 
212 °F (100 °C) temperature rated fusible-link operating ele-
ment. Sprinklers with a 165 °F (74 °C) temperature rating are 
ordinary temperature classification and should be used with a 
135 °F (57 °C) temperature rated cover plate. Sprinklers with a 
212 °F (100 °C) temperature rating are intermediate tempera-
ture classification and should be used with a 165 °F (74 °C) 
temperature rated cover plate.

Model RFC Series sprinklers are installed with a Model RFC 
cover plate. Model RFC cover plates may be installed by ei-
ther pushing or threading the cover plate into the sprinkler 
cup. Model RFC30, RFC43, and RFC49 sprinklers allow 1/2" 
(13 mm) of cover plate adjustment. Model RFC58 sprinklers 
allow 3/4" (19 mm) of cover plate adjustment. 

Model RFC cover plates are available in a variety of finishes as 
listed in Table H. In addition, Model RFC cover plates may be 
ordered as either traditional solid cover plates or perforated 
cover plates.
