Patents: U.S. Patent No. 6,374,92Applies to Model F1 Vertical
Sidewall Sprinklers.
Product DescriptionThe F1 Glass Bulb Sprinkler combines the
durability
of a standard sprinkler with the attractive low profile ofa
decorative sprinkler. Whether installed on exposedpiping or in an
office ceiling, it is functional andattractive. The Horizontal and
Vertical SidewallSprinklers provide an equally attractive
appearancewhen ceiling piping cannot be used.
Beautifully versatile is the description for the ReliableModel
F1 Recessed Designer glass bulb sprinkler.Recessing The Designer
enhances its already lowprofile decorative appearance, and
facilitates a rapidand perfect installation.
Model F1 Recessed Designers escutcheon is highlyadjustable. The
two piece construction makes fieldinstallation a very easy and
rapid task. This also allowsceiling panels to later be removed
without shuttingdown the fire protection system, thus
facilitatingmaintenance of above ceiling services.
The Designer Automatic Sprinkler utilizes a frangibleglass bulb.
The glass bulb consists of an accuratelycontrolled amount of
special fluid hermetically sealedinside of a precisely manufactured
glass capsule. Thisglass bulb is specially constructed to provide
fastthermal response.
The Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Co., Inc., 103 Fairview Park
Drive, Elmsford, New York, 10523
At normal temperatures, the glass bulb contains thefluid in both
the liquid phase and in the vapor phase.The vapor phase can be seen
as a small bubble. Asheat is applied, the liquid expands forcing
the bubblesmaller and smaller as the liquid pressure
increases.Continued heating forces the liquid to push out
againstthe bulb, causing the glass to shatter, opening thewaterway
and allowing the deflector to distribute thedischarging water.
The F1 Sprinkler temperature rating is identified bythe color of
the glass bulb capsule as well as framecolor where applicable.

Model F1 & F1 Recessed SprinklersApplication
Model F1 and F1 Recessed sprinklers are used infixed fire
protection systems: Wet, Dry, Deluge orPreaction. Care must
exercised that the orifice size,temperature rating, deflector style
and sprinkler typeare in accordance with the latest published
standardsof the National Fire Protection Association or
theapproving Authority Having Jurisdiction.
InstallationModel F1 sprinklers are standard response
sprinklers
intended for installation as specified in NFPA 13. Theymust also
be installed with the Model D SprinklerWrench specifically designed
by Reliable for use withthese sprinklers.
The Model F1 Recessed Sprinklers are to be installedwith a
maximum recess of inch (19mm). The Model
F1 Escutcheon illustrated is the only recessedescutcheon to be
used with the Model F1 Pendent andEC Sprinklers. The use of any
other recessedescutcheon will void all approvals and negate
allwarranties. When installing Model F1 RecessedPendent and EC
Pendent Sprinklers, use the ModelGFR1 Sprinkler Wrench. Any other
type of wrench maydamage these sprinklers.
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange covers to protectthe bulb
during the installation process. REMOVE THISPROTECTION ONLY AFTER
THE SYSTEM HAS BEENHYDROSTATICALLY TESTED AND, WHEN APPLICABLE,THE
ESCUTCHEONS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. RASCOwrenches are designed to
install sprinklers whencovers are in place.
MaintenanceThe Models F1 and F1 Recessed Sprinklers should
be inspected quarterly and the sprinkler systemmaintained in
accordance with NFPA 25. Do not cleansprinklers with soap and
water, ammonia or any othercleaning fluid. Remove any sprinkler
which has beenpainted (other than factory applied) or damaged in
anyway. A stock of spare sprinklers should be maintainedto allow
quick replacement of damaged or operatedsprinklers. Prior to
installation, sprinklers should bemaintained in the original
cartons and packaging untilused to minimize the potential for
damage to sprinklersthat would cause improper operation or
non-operation.
