NOTES
• Values for use with 5.75"/140 mm straight reducers.
• The values in this table are provided by the manufacturer for reference only. For friction loss data in accordance with the UL Certification, please refer to pages
19 and 20 of this publication.
How to use this Design Guide:
• For some systems, it may be advantageous for the designer to calculate the system hydraulics using shorter equivalent lengths associated with fewer than the
maximum allowable number of bends. In this case, the designer may select a design number of bends for the job and use the associated equivalent length
from the design guide to determine the system hydraulics.
• It is possible that the actual installed condition of some of the flexible drops may have more bends than the designer selected. When this happens, the design
guide may be used to find equivalent lengths based on the actual installed number of bends for particular sprinkler installations. The system hydraulics can be
recalculated using actual equivalent lengths to verify the performance of the system.

Installation
Model F1FR Series sprinklers must be installed in accordance with
NFPA13 and the requirements of all applicable authorities having
jurisdiction. Model F1FR Series sprinklers must be installed with
the Reliable sprinkler installation wrench identified in this Bulletin.
Any other wrench may damage the sprinkler. The Models W2 and
W4 wrenches have two sets of jaws. Use the smallest set of jaws
that fit on the wrench flats of the sprinkler. A leak tight sprinkler
joint can be obtained with a torque of 8 to 18 lb-ft (11 to 24
N.m). Do not tighten sprinklers over the maximum recommended
installation torque. Exceeding the maximum recommended
installation torque may cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors or protective
caps to minimize bulb damage during shipping, handling and
installation. Reliable sprinkler installation wrenches are designed
to install sprinklers with bulb protectors in place. Remove the bulb
protector at the time when the sprinkler system is placed in service
for fire protection. Removal of the bulb protector before this time
may leave the bulb vulnerable to damage. Remove bulb protectors
by undoing the clasp by hand. Do not use tools to remove bulb
protectors.

Maintenance
Reliable Model F1FR 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 fire event.

Installation
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors to minimize bulb
damage during shipping, handling, and installation. Reliable sprin-
kler installation wrenches are designed to install sprinklers with
bulb protectors in place. Remove the bulb protector at the time
when the sprinkler system is placed in service for fire protection.
Removal of the bulb protector before this time may leave the bulb
vulnerable to damage. Remove bulb protectors by undoing the
clasp by hand. Do not use tools to remove bulb protectors.
Models J112 and JL112 series sprinklers must be installed with the
Reliable sprinkler installation wrench identified in this bulletin. Any
other wrench may damage the sprinkler. Recommended installa-
tion torque is 14 to 20 lb.ft (19 to 27 N.m). Do not tighten sprinklers
over the maximum recommended installation torque. Exceeding
the maximum recommended installation torque may cause leak-
age or impairment of the sprinkler.
Recessed pendent sprinklers are to be installed as shown in Fig. 6
or Fig 7., as applicable to the specific model being installed. Mod-
els J112 and JL112 series recessed pendent sprinklers may only
be installed with the Reliable Model F1, Model F2, or Model FP
recessed escutcheon. The use of any other recessed escutcheon
will void all approvals and negate all warranties. The Reliable Model
FP escutcheon may not be used in ceilings having positive pres-
sure with respect to the space below. Ensure that the openings in
the Model FP escutcheon/can assembly are unobstructed follow-
ing installation.
Maintenance
Models J112 and JL112 series sprinklers should be inspected and
the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25. Do
not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia or any other
cleaning fluids. Remove dust by gentle vacuuming. Replace any
sprinkler which has been painted (other than factory applied) or
damaged in any way. A stock of spare sprinklers should be main-
tained to allow quick replacement of damaged or operated sprin-
klers. 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.
