Product Description
Reliable Model G Series sprinklers are standard-response
standard spray automatic sprinklers using a solder capsule
thermal element. The solder is captured in the cylinder of the
capsule by a stainless steel ball. When the solder melts, the ball
moves into the cylinder allowing the thermal element to fall away
from the sprinkler. When this occurs, the compressed strut and
lever spring free from the sprinkler. System pressure then clears
the waterway of all operating parts allowing the deflector to
evenly distribute water.
Pendent and horizontal sidewall sprinklers may be installed
exposed or surface mounted using escutcheons such as the
Reliable Models B, C, or HB (reference Technical Bulletin 204).
When installed recessed, the Model G Series sprinklers are
specically listed with and may only be installed with listed
Reliable escutcheons. Refer to the technical information on the
following pages for specic listings for recessed installations and
Figures 6 and 7 for dimensional information.

Maintenance
Reliable Model G series sprinklers should be inspected and the
sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25, as well
as the requirements of any authorities having jurisdiction.
Prior to installation, sprinklers should remain in the original
cartons and packaging until used. This will minimize the potential
for damage to sprinklers that could cause improper operation or
non-operation.
Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia liquid or
any other cleaning fluids. Remove dust by gentle vacuuming
without touching the sprinkler.
Replace any sprinkler which has been painted (other than factory
applied). A stock of spare sprinklers should be maintained to
allow quick replacement of damaged or operated sprinklers.
Failure to properly maintain sprinklers may result in inadvertent
operation or non-operation during a re event.

Installation
Model G Series sprinklers must be installed in accordance with
NFPA 13 and the requirements of all applicable authorities having
jurisdiction
Model G Series sprinklers must be installed with the Reliable
sprinkler installation wrench identied in this Bulletin. Any other
wrench may damage the sprinkler. A leak tight sprinkler joint
can be obtained with a torque of 8 to 18 lb-ft (11 - 24 N.m) for
1/2” sprinklers and a torque of 14-20 lb-ft (19 - 27 N.m) for 3/4”
sprinklers after applying appropriate thread sealant.
Do not tighten sprinklers over the maximum recommended
installation torque. Exceeding the maximum recommended
installation torque may cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
