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 rat-
ing, 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

able for use with these sprinklers.
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange covers to protect the
bulb during the installation process. REMOVE THIS PRO-
TECTION ONLY AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN HYDRO-
STATICALLY TESTED AND, WHEN APPLICABLE, THE ES-
CUTCHEONS 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
quarterly and the sprinkler system maintained in accor-
dance 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 sprin-
kler 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 op-
erated 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.
