Ensure that the 4 slots in Do not exceed the maximum recommended torque. Exceeding <br /> the cup are open and unobstructed following installation. Model the maximum recommended torque may cause leakage or <br /> RFC series sprinklers are shipped with a wrench-able protective impairment of the sprinkler. Use care when inserting or removing <br /> cap that should remain on the sprinkler until the sprinkler system the wrench from the sprinkler to avoid damage to the sprinkler. <br /> is placed in service following construction. <br /> Install the cover plate by hand by pushing the cover plate into the <br /> Model RFC series sprinklers can be installed without removing cup and turning the cover in the clockwise direction until it is tight <br /> the wrench-able protective cap using the Model W3 wrench. against the ceiling. <br /> Alternatively, Model RFC series sprinklers can be installed using <br /> the Model FC wrench by temporarily removing the protective cap <br /> during installation of the sprinkler.The use of any other wrench <br /> to installed Model RFC series sprinklers is not permitted and may <br /> damage the sprinkler. Fully insert the Model W3 wrench over <br /> the cap until it reaches the bottom of the cup,or the Model FC <br /> wrench over the sprinkler until the wrench engages the body. <br /> Do not wrench any other part of the sprinkler/cup assembly.The <br /> Model W3 and FC wrenches are designed to be turned with a <br /> standard 1/2"square drive.Tighten the sprinkler into the fitting <br /> after applying a PTFE based thread sealant to the sprinkler's <br /> threads. Recommended installation torque for iron pipe fittings is <br /> 8 to 18 ft-Ibs(11 to 24 N-m)for 1/2"thread sprinklers and 14 to <br /> 20 ft-Ibs(19 to 27 N-m)for 3/4"thread sprinklers. <br /> Bulletin 006 Reliable Page 7 of 8 <br /> June 2021 www.reliablesprinkler.com <br />
