Maintenance
Model F1-SS series sprinklers should be inspected and the
sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25.
Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia or any
other cleaning fluids. Remove dust by gentle vacuuming. Re-
place 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.

Installation
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors to minimize
bulb damage during shipping, handling, and installation. Reliable
sprinkler installation wrenches are designed to install sprinklers
with bulb protectors in place. Remove the bulb protector at the
time when the sprinkler system is placed in service for fire protec-
tion. Removal of the bulb protector before this time may leave the
bulb vulnerable to damage. Remove bulb protectors by undoing
the clasp by hand. Do not use tools to remove bulb protectors.
Model F1-SS series sprinklers must be installed with the Reliable
sprinkler installation wrench identified in this Bulletin. Any other
wrench may damage the sprinkler. Recommended installation
torque is 8 to 18 lb/ft (11 to 24 N/m) for 1/2” NPT and ISO7-1R1/2
sprinklers or 14 to 20 lb/ft (19 to 27 N/m) for 3/4” NPT and ISO7-
1R3/4 sprinklers. Do not tighten sprinklers over the maximum rec-
ommended installation torque. Exceeding the maximum recom-
mended installation torque may cause leakage or impairment of
the sprinkler.
Recessed pendent sprinklers are to be installed as shown in Fig. 2
or Fig 5., as applicable to the specific model being installed. Mod-
el F1-SS series recessed pendent sprinklers may only be installed
with the Reliable Model F1 stainless steel, Model F2 Stainless
Steel, or Model FP stainless steel recessed escutcheon. The use
of any other recessed escutcheon will void all approvals and ne-
gate all warranties. 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.
