Product Description t
Reliable Models Fl FR Series Sprinklers are quick re- i
sponse sprinklers which combine the durability of a sten- Horizontal Sidewall Recessed
dard sprinkler with the attractive low profile of a decorative PendentiF1!F2
sprinkler.
The Models FIFE Series Recessed automatic sprinklers
utilize a 3.0 mm frangible glass bulb. These sprinklers have i
demonstrated response times in laboratory Tests hich ` -
are live to ten times faster than standard response sprin- I I - • i:, P ,;
kiers. This quick response enables the Model F1 FR Series i s >: � ) • sprinklers to apply water to a fire much faster than standard
sprinklers of the same temperature rating. I ;
The glass bulb consists of an accurately controlled amount Recessed Recessed
of special fluid hermetically sealed inside a precisely menu- Horizontal Sidewall Pendent/FP
lectured glass capsule. This glass bulb is specially con-
structed to provide fast thermal response. Application
At normal temperatures, the glass bulb contains the fluid

be seen as a small bubble. As heat is applied, the liquid exercised that the orifice size, temperature rating, deflec-
expands, forcing the bubble smaller and smaller as the liq- tor style and sprinkler type are in accordance with the let -

sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia or any other
cleaning fluids. Remove dust by using a soft brush or
gentle vacuuming. Remove any sprinkler which has
been painted (other than factory applied) or damaged

tained to allow quick replacement of damaged or oper-
ated sprinklers. Prior to installation, sprinklers should be
maintained in the original cartons and packaging to mini-
mize the potential for damage to sprinklers that would
cause improper operation or non - operation.
