Model F1 56 & F1 56 Recessed Sprinklers
Application
Model F1 56 and F1 56 Recessed sprinklers are used in
fixed fire protection systems: Wet, Dry, Deluge or Preaction.
Care must exercised that the orifice size, temperature rating,
deflector style and sprinkler type are in accordance with the
latest published standards of the National Fire Protection
Association or the approving Authority Having Jurisdiction
Installation.
Installation
Model F1 56 sprinklers are standard response sprinklers
intended for installation as specified in NFPA 13. They must
also be installed with the Model D Sprinkler Wrench
specifically designed by Reliable for use with these
sprinklers.
The Model F1 56 Recessed Sprinklers are to be installed
with a maximum recess of ¾ inch (19mm). The Model F1 56
Escutcheon illustrated is the only recessed escutcheon to be
used with the Model F1 56 Pendent Sprinklers. The use of
any other recessed escutcheon will void all approvals and
negate all warranties. When installing Model F1 56
Recessed Pendent use the Model GFR2 Sprinkler Wrench.
Any other type of wrench may damage these sprinklers.
Note:
A leak tight ½" NPT (R1/2) sprinkler joint can be
obtained with a torque of 8-18 ft-lbs (10,8 - 24,4 N-m). Do not
tighten sprinklers over maximum recommended torque. It
may cause leakage or impairment of the sprinklers.
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange covers to protect the
bulb during the installation process. REMOVE THIS
PROTECTION ONLY AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN
HYDROSTATICALLY TESTED AND, WHEN APPLICABLE,
THE ESCUTCHEONS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. RASCO
wrenches are designed to install sprinklers when covers are
in place.

Maintenance
The Models F1 56 and F1 56 Recessed Sprinklers
should be inspected quarterly and the sprinkler system
maintained in accordance with NFPA 25. Do not clean
sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia or any other
cleaning fluid. Remove 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 until
used to minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers
that would cause improper operation or non-operation.
Note:
When Model F1FR 56 Recessed Sprinklers are
ordered, the sprinklers and escutcheons are packaged
separately.
