Product Description
The Model XL Institutional is a quick-response sprinkler with a
fusible solder link thermal element specially designed for use
in institutional applications. Standard coverage and extended
coverage models are available.
The flush style of this sprinkler conceals all operating parts
with the exception of the heat sensing link. When the solder of
the sensing link melts, the operating mechanism releases and
allows the deflector to be extended for distributing water. These
sprinklers are listed for a maximum service pressure of 175 psi
(12.0 bar).
The Model XL Institutional has been designed for use in
correctional and mental health facilities and in any other type
of institution where attempts by an occupant at self-injury might
involve the misuse of a re sprinkler. The heat sensor is designed
to release a suspended load that exceeds 50 lbs. when dropped
from a 1-inch height. The conical escutcheon assembly is rmly
attached to the sprinkler body with tamper resistant fasteners.
The horizontal sidewall model uses an escutcheon with an
integral deflector shelf.
Note: Misuse of or tampering with Reliable Institutional Sprinklers
which leads to property damage or personal injury, including
death, as a result of dismantling or modifying this product for use
unrelated to the intended use shall not become the responsibility

Installation
Care must be exercised that orice size, temperature rating,
and sprinkler spacing are in accordance with this bulletin and
the latest published standards of the National Fire Protection
Association, and approved by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Apply a PTFE-based thread sealant or thread sealant tape to the
sprinkler threads. Using the Model ZX-Pendent or ZX-Sidewall
Wrench (see Figure 5), install the sprinkler into the tting and
verify the sprinkler is properly oriented.
Recommended installation torque is 8-14 lb-ft (11-19 N.m). Do
not tighten sprinklers over the maximum recommended torque.
Exceeding the maximum recommend torque may cause leakage
or impairment of the sprinklers.
Shipping caps should be removed only after walls are nished
and when escutcheons are being installed. Each installed
sprinkler must include an escutcheon, and only the escutcheons
shown in this bulletin shall be used with the Model XL Institutional
sprinkler. The use of any other escutcheon will void all approvals
and negate all warranties.
It is recommended that a pick-proof caulk be applied around the
circumference of each escutcheon to close any gaps with the
wall or ceiling.
Provision must be made to prevent any axial movement of each
sprinkler away from the ceiling or wall. Reliable provides a retainer
flange which is highly recommended for this purpose. Reliable
accepts no liability for property damage or personal injury when
the retainer assembly is not used or is not installed correctly on
institutional sprinklers.
Use care to avoid damaging the sprinklers before, during and
after installation. Inspect all installed sprinklers to insure that they
have not been damaged. Replace all sprinklers which have any
sign of damage.
Note: When replacing Model ZX HSW with Model XL HSW, an
escutcheon extender P/N 6814000001 is required.

Maintenance
Reliable Model XL 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.
