Approved for Pendent only.
Installation
Quick response sprinklers are intended for standard area cov-
erage and standard water densities as specified in NFPA-13.
Quick response sprinklers and standard response sprinklers
should not be intermixed.
The Model GFR Recessed Quick Response Sprinkler is to be
installed as shown. The Model F1 or F2 Escutcheons illustrated
are the only recessed escutcheons to be used with the Model
GFR Pendent or Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers. The use of any
other recessed escutcheon will void all approvals as a quick re-
sponse sprinkler and negate all warranties.
When installing Model GFR Sprinklers, use the Model D Sprin-
kler Wrench and when installing Model GFR Recessed Sprin-
klers, use the Model GFR1 Sprinkler Wrench. Any other type of
wrench may cause sprinkler damage.
Maintenance
The Models GFR and GFR Recessed Sprinklers should be
inspected quarterly and the sprinkler system maintained in ac-
cordance with NFPA 25. Do not clean the sprinklers with soap
and water, ammonia or any other cleaning fluids. Remove any
dust using a soft brush or gentle vacuuming. 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. This minimizes
the potential for damage resulting in improper operation or non-
operation.
