Product Description
The Reliable Model F1FR-300 QREC Quick Response Ex-
tended Coverage Concealed Sprinkler is an attractive, low
profile concealed sprinkler assembly. This sprinkler assembly
utilizes a Model F1FR-300 QREC pendent sprinkler in a Model
CCP cup and push-on thread-off cover plate assembly. The cup
is securely factory threaded on the sprinkler’s inlet end. The as-
sembly is shipped with a protective cap. The sprinkler and cup
are easily installed into the sprinkler fitting using the Model GFR2
Sprinkler Wrench. The cover plate assembly is attached to the
sprinkler cup using a flexible tooth threaded engagement. The
cover plate is attached to the skirt using 135°F (57°C) ordinary
temperature classification solder.
When the ceiling temperature rises, the solder holding the
cover plate melts, allowing the release of this part and thus ex-
posing the Model F1FR-300 QREC sprinkler inside to the rising
ambient temperature.
The Model F1FR-300 QREC automatic sprinkler utilizes a 3.0
mm frangible glass bulb. This sprinkler has demonstrated re-
sponse times in laboratory tests which are five times faster than
standard response sprinklers. This quick response enables the
Model F1FR-300 QREC sprinkler to apply water to a fire faster
than standard sprinklers of the same temperature rating.

The equipment presented in this bulletin is to be installed in accordance with the latest published Standards of the National Fire Protection Association, Factory
Mutual Research Corporation, or other similar organizations and also with the provisions of governmental codes or ordinances whenever applicable.
Products manufactured and distributed by Reliable have been protecting life and property for over 90 years, and are installed and serviced by the most highly
qualified and reputable sprinkler contractors located throughout the United States, Canada and foreign countries.
Model F1FR-300 QREC Concealed Sprinklers use 135°F
(57°C) or 155°F (68°C) Model F1FR-300 QREC Pendent Sprin-
klers with a threaded Model CCP cup which is factory attached
to the sprinkler. The assembly is completed by the installation of
the attractive, low profile, 135°F (57°C) rated cover plate assem-
bly. The cover plate and sprinkler cup are joined using a flex-
ible tooth threaded engagement. A choice of two cover plate
assemblies provides either ½” (13mm) or 5 /
16” (8mm) of cover
adjustment.
Do not install these sprinklers in ceilings which have positive
pressure in the space above.
The ¾” NPT (R¾) sprinkler cup is factory attached to the Mod-
el F1FR QREC Sprinkler. A Teflon*-based thread sealant should
be applied to the sprinkler threads only.
After a 25 /
8 inch (67mm) diameter hole is cut in the ceiling,
the sprinkler is easily installed with the Model GFR2 Wrench.
When installing a sprinkler, the protective cap is removed and
the wrench is positioned into the sprinkler/cup assembly until
the two wrench faces engage the wrenching flats on the Model
F1FR QREC Sprinkler. The sprinkler is then tightened into the
pipe fitting. When inserting or removing the wrench from the
sprinkler/cup assembly, care should be taken to prevent dam-
age to the sprinkler. DO NOT WRENCH ON ANY OTHER
PART OF THE SPRINKLER. The cover plate assembly is then
pressed into the cup. Final adjustment is made by turning the
he ceiling surface. Cover plate removal requires turning in the
counter clockwise direction.
After installation, inspect all sprinklers to ensure that there is
a gap between the cover plate and ceiling and that the four
cup slots are open and free from any air flow impediment to the
space above.
Concealed cover plate/cup assemblies are listed only for use
with specific sprinklers. The use of any other concealed cover
plate/cup assembly with the Model F1FR-300 QREC Pendent
Sprinkler or the use of the Model CCP concealed cover plate
assembly on any sprinkler with which it is not specifically listed
may prevent good fire protection and will void all guarantees,
warranties, listings and approvals.
Maintenance
Model F1FR-300 QREC Concealed Sprinklers should be in-
spected and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance
with NFPA 25. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, am-
monia 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.
