Product Description
The Reliable Model SWC Concealed Quick Response Extended
Coverage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler is an attractive, concealed
sprinkler assembly that utilizes a push-on/thread-off cover plate
assembly. The assembly is shipped with a protective cap.
The Model CCP/HSW cover plate is attached to the skirt using
135°F (57°C) ordinary temperature classification solder. The
sprinkler and cup are easily installed into the sprinkler fitting using the
Model GFR1 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 temperature.
The Model SWC utilizes a 3.0mm frangible glass bulb. This quick
response enables the sprinkler to apply water to a fire sooner than
standard sprinklers of the same temperature rating.
This sprinkler can handle a maximum service pressure of 300 psi
(20,7 bar).
Application and Installation
The Model SWC sprinkler is intended for installation in light
hazard occupancies in accordance with NFPA 13. This sprinkler is
especially well-suited for use in student dormitories, hotels, hospitals
and care facilities, and can be used where the pressure entering the
sprinkler system is in excess of 175 psi (12 bar).
Model SWC Concealed Horizontal Sidewall sprinklers utilize
a Model F1FR-300 QREC-9 Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler with
a threaded cup which is factory attached to the sprinkler. The
assembly is completed by the installation of the attractive, 135°F
(57°C) rated Model CCP/HSW push on / thread off cover plate
assembly.
Apply a PTFE - based thread sealant to the sprinkler threads.
After a 2
5
/
8
” (67mm) diameter hole is cut in the wall, the sprinkler
is easily installed with the Model GFR1 Wrench. When installing
the sprinkler, the protective cap is removed and the wrench is
positioned into the sprinkler/cup assembly until the two wrench
faces engage the wrenching flats on the 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 pushed onto the cup. Cover plate assemblies provide ½”
(13mm) of cover adjustment. Final adjustment is made by turning
the cover plate clockwise until the skirt flange makes full contact
with the wall surface. Cover plate removal requires turning in the
counter clockwise direction.
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 F1FR-300 QREC-9 Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinkler or the use of the Model CCP/HSW concealed
cover plate assembly on any sprinkler with which it is not
specifically listed will void all guarantees, warranties, listings and
approvals.
