Description

Reliable Models F1FR QREC and F1FR QREC Recessed Sprinklers are quick response sprinklers which combine the durability for a standard sprinkler with the attractive low profile of a decorative sprinkler. The Models F1FR QREC and F1FR QREC Recessed Automatic Sprinklers utilize a 3.0mm frangible glass bulb. These sprinklers have demonstrated response times in laboratory tests which are five times faster than standard response sprinklers. This quick response enables these sprinklers to apply water to a fire much faster than standard sprinklers of the same temperature rating. The glass bulb consists of an accurately controlled amount of special fluid hermetically sealed inside a precisely manufactured glass capsule. This glass bulb is specially constructed to provide fast thermal response. The balance of parts are made of brass, copper and beryllium nickel. The temperature rating of the sprinkler is identified by the color of the glass bulb.

Installation

Sprinklers must be installed with purpose-designed Reliable nozzle wrench. Key types can be found in the data sheet. Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors to minimize bulb damage during shipping, handling and installation. Glass capsule protector is removed after installation. Removing protection prematurely may expose the sprinkler damage. Capsule protector is removed by opening them by hand. Removal of the protectors before this time may leave the bulb vulnerable to damage.
