Product Description

The Reliable Models F156 and F1FR56 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 F156 and F1FR56 Intermediate Level sprinklers

are used in ﬁxed ﬁre protection systems: Wet, Dry, Deluge

or Preaction. Care must be exercised that the oriﬁce size,

temperature rating, 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 F156 sprinklers are standard response sprinklers

and Model F1FR56 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 Model GFR2 Sprinkler Wrench speciﬁcally designed by

Reliable for use with these sprinklers.

Glass bulb sprinklers have orange covers to protect

the bulb during the installation process. REMOVE THIS

PROTECTION ONLY AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN

HYDROSTATICALLY TESTED. Model D and GFR2 wrenches

are designed to install sprinklers when covers are in place.

Maintenance

The Models F156 and F1FR56 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 ﬂuid. Remove dust by using a

soft brush or gentle vacuuming. Remove any sprinkler 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 operated 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.
