Product Description
The Reliable Models F1 and F1FR Intermediate Level
Sprinklers include shields which protect the glass bulb from
water spray impingement caused by sprinklers located at a
higher elevation.
Typical applications are for storage racks which require multi–
level sprinklers and beneath open grid catwalks.
Application
Model F1 and F1FR Intermediate Level sprinklers are used
in fixed fire protection systems: Wet, Dry, Deluge or Preaction.
Care must be exercised that the orifice size, temperature
rating, deflector style and sprinkler type are in accordance with
the latest published standards of the National Fire Protection
Association or the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Installation
Model F1 sprinklers are standard response sprinklers and
Model F1FR are quick response sprinklers. Both types are
intended for installation as specified in NFPA 13. Upright
sprinklers must be installed with the Model D Sprinkler Wrench
specifically designed by Reliable for use with these sprinklers
and pendent sprinklers must be installed with the Model GFR1
Sprinkler Wrench specifically designed by Reliable for use with
these sprinklers.

Pendent Intermediate
Model F1
Upright Intermediate
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange covers to protect the bulb
during the installation process. REMOVE THIS PROTECTION
ONLY AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN HYDROSTATICALLY
TESTED AND, WHEN APPLICABLE, THE ESCUTCHEONS
HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. RASCO wrenches are designed to
install sprinklers when covers are in place.
Maintenance
The Models F1 and F1FR Sprinklers should be inspected and
the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25.
Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia or any
other cleaning fluid. Remove dust by using a soft brush or gentle
vacuuming. Remove any sprinkler 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 or non-operation.
