Face of fitting to ceiling dimensions are based on a nominal thread make up. Verify dimensions based on fitting and thread sealing method <br />prior to installation. A 112" x 112" brass nipple extension (Reliable P/N 6999991900) is available where necessary for replacement of existing <br />sprinklers. <br />2. For use with 165oF (74oC) temperature rated sprinklers where the Maximum Ceiling Temperature does not exceed 100oF (38oC). <br />3. For use with 212oF (100oC) temperature rated sprinklers where the Maximum Ceiling Temperature does not exceed 150oF (66oC). <br />Installation <br />Model RFC series sprinklers are intended to be installed in ac- <br />cordance with NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, or NFPA 13D, as well as the <br />requirements of applicable authorities having jurisdiction. Mod- <br />el RFC series sprinklers must not be installed in ceilings with <br />positive pressure in the space above. Ensure that the 4 slots in <br />the cup are open and unobstructed following installation. Model <br />RFC series sprinklers are shipped with a wrench -able protec- <br />tive cap that should remain on the sprinkler until the sprinkler <br />system is placed in service following construction. <br />Model RFC series sprinklers can be installed without removing <br />the wrench -able protective cap using the Model W3 wrench. <br />Alternatively, Model RFC series sprinklers can be installed us- <br />ing the Model FC wrench by temporarily removing the protec- <br />tive cap during installation of the sprinkler. The use of any other <br />wrench to installed Model RFC series sprinklers is not permit- <br />ted and may damage the sprinkler. Fully insert the Model W3 <br />wrench over the cap until it reaches the bottom of the cup, or <br />the Model FC wrench over the sprinkler until the wrench engag- <br />es the body. Do not wrench any other part of the sprinkler/cup <br />assembly. The Model W3 and FC wrenches are designed to be <br />turned with a standard 112" square drive. Tighten the sprinkler <br />into the fitting after applying a PTFE based thread sealant to the <br />sprinkler's threads. Recommended installation torque is 8 to 18 <br />ft-Ibs (11 to 24 N-m)for 112" thread sprinklers and 14to 20ft-Ibs <br />(19 to 27 N-m) for 3/4" thread sprinklers. <br />Do not exceed the maximum recommended torque. Exceeding <br />the maximum recommended torque may cause leakage or im- <br />pairment of the sprinkler. Use care when inserting or removing <br />the wrench from the sprinkler to avoid damage to the sprinkler. <br />Install the cover plate by hand by pushing the cover plate into <br />the cup and turning the cover in the clockwise direction until it <br />is tight against the ceiling. <br />Application <br />Model RFC series sprinklers are intended for installation where <br />residential sprinklers are permitted or required by NFPA 13, <br />NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D. The sprinklers are concealed pen- <br />dent residential sprinklers. <br />Model RFC 30 and RFC30LL sprinklers are available in ordinary <br />temperature classification for installation where the Maximum <br />Ceiling Temperature does not exceed 100OF (380C). Model <br />RFC43, RFC43LL, RFC49, RFC49LL, RFC58, and RFC76 sprin- <br />klers are available in either ordinary or intermediate tempera- <br />ture classification for installation where the Maximum Ceiling <br />Temperature does not exceed 100OF (380C) or 150OF (660C), <br />respectively. <br />Bulletin 006 <br />May 2019 <br />Page 7 of 8 <br />www.reliablesprinkler.com <br />
