Product Description
The F1 Res Horizontal Sidewall sprinklers (Figs.1 and 2) are equally attractive when above ceiling piping
cannot is used.
The 3mm glass-bulb pendent sprinklers, with a K-Factor of 63, permit the efficient use of residential
water supplies for sprinkler coverage in residential fire protection design.
The low flow F1 Res sprinklers are specially engineered for fast thermal response to meet the
sensitive fire protection application needs of the latest residential market standards
(UL 1626 Standard effective 7/12/02).
Upon fire conditions, rising heat causes a sprinkler’s heat-sensitive glass-bulb to shatter, releasing the
waterway for water flow onto the deflector, evenly distributing the discharged water to control a fire.

Application and Installation
Model F1 Res Sprinklers are used for Residential Fire Protection according to UL 1626 Standard*. Be sure
that orifice size, temperature rating, deflector style and sprinkler type are in accordance with the latest
published standards of the authority having jurisdiction.
.
Models F1 Res sprinklers are to be installed as shown. Model F1 and F2 Escutcheons, illustrated
herewith, are the only recessed escutcheons to be used with Model F1 Res sprinklers. Use of any other
recessed escutcheon will void all approvals and warranties. For installing Models F1 Res Recessed
SWC sprinklers use only the Model GFR1 sprinkler wrench.
Use of wrenches other than those specified may damage these sprinklers. Install F1 Res 44 HSW
with a ceiling to deflector distance of 102 - 305mm . Flow arrow on deflector must point away from near wall
and “Top” marking must face ceiling.
Note: DH56 and DH56 Recessed Sprinklers have orange bulb protectors to minimize bulb damage during
shipping, handling, and installation. REMOVE THIS PROTECTION AT THE TIME THE SPRINKLER
SYSTEM IS PLACED IN SERVICE FOR FIRE PROTECTION.
Removal of the protectors before this time may leave the bulb vulnerable to damage. Wrenches are
designed to install sprinklers when covers are in place.
REMOVE PROTECTORS BY UNDOING THE CLASP BY HAND. DO NOT USE TOOLS TO REMOVE
THEPROTECTORS
Note: A leak tight ½" NPT (R1/2) sprinkler joint can be obtained with a torque of 8-18 ft-lbs (10.8-24.4
N-m). Do not tighten sprinklers over maximum recommended torque. It may cause leakage or
impairment of the sprinklers

Maintenance
Model F1 Res 44 Sprinklers should be inspected quarterly and the sprinkler system maintained in
accordance with NFPA 25, 13, 13D and 13R. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia or any
other cleaning fluids. Remove dust by using a soft brush or gentle vacuuming. Remove any sprinkler cover
plate assembly 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 to
minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers that would cause improper operation or non-operation.
