DESCRIPTION Viking Freedom® Residential Concealed Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler VK490 is a small high-sensitivity solder link and lever residential sprinkler designed for installation on concealed pipe systems, where the appearance of a smooth wall is desired. The sprinkler orifice design, with a K-Factor of 5.8 (83.6 metric*), allows the sprinkler’s efficient use of available water supplies for the hydraulically designed fire-protection system. The operating element and special deflector characteristics meet the challenges of residential sprinkler standards. The sprinkler is hidden from view by a low profile, small diameter cover plate installed flush to the wall. The cover plate is available in several decorative finishes to meet design requirements. The two-piece design allows installation and testing of the sprinkler prior to installation of the cover plate. After the system has been tested and wall finish has been applied, the push-on design of the cover plate assembly allows easy installation of the cover plate with up to 1/4” (6.4 mm) adjustment. Sprinkler VK490 is provided with a pipe guide to properly locate the sprinkler and allow the 1/4” adjustment of the cover plate. 2.

Sprinkler Cabinet: Part No. 01731A (available since 1971) 4. INSTALLATION Refer to appropriate NFPA Installation Standards. 5. OPERATION During fire conditions, when the temperature around the sprinkler approaches its operating temperature, the cover plate detaches. Continued heating of the exposed sprinkler causes the fusible element to disengage, releasing the sealing assembly. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the flow shaper, forming a uniform spray pattern over a specific area of coverage determined by the water supply pressure at the sprinkler to extinguish or control the fire. 6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE Refer to NFPA 25 for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance requirements. 7.

RAPID RESPONSE Series LFII Residential 4.9 K-factor Pendent Sprinkler Wet Pipe Systems Page 1 of 4 NOVEMBER 2019 TFP403 IMPORTANT Refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to regulatory and health information. Always refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER WARNING” that provides cautions with respect to handling and instal- lation of sprinkler systems and com- ponents. Improper handling and installation can permanently damage a sprinkler system or its compo- nents and cause the sprinkler to fail to operate in a fire situation or cause it to operate prematurely. Worldwide Contacts www.tyco-fire.com General Description TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series LFII Residential 4.9K Pendent and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers (TY2236) are decorative, fast response, frangi- ble bulb sprinklers designed for use in residential occupancies such as homes, apartments, dormitories, and hotels. When aesthetics and optimized flow characteristics are the major con- sideration, the Series LFII Residential Sprinklers (TY2236) should be the first choice. The Series LFII Residential Sprinklers are intended for use in the following scenarios: • wet pipe residential sprinkler sys- tems for one- and two-family dwell- ings and mobile homes per NFPA 13D • wet pipe residential sprinkler sys- tems for residential occupancies up to and including four stories in height per NFPA 13R • wet pipe sprinkler systems for the residential portions of any occu- pancy per NFPA 13 The recessed version of the Series LFII Residential Sprinklers is intended for use in areas with finished ceilings when used with one of the following: • A two-piece Style 15 Recessed Escutcheon with recessed adjust- ment up to 5/8 in. (15,9 mm) from the flush pendent position. • A two-piece Style 20 Recessed Escutcheon with recessed adjust- ment up to 1/2 in. (12,7 mm) from the flush pendent position. The adjustment provided by either Recessed Escutcheon reduces the accuracy to which the pipe drops to the sprinklers must be cut. The Series LFII Residential Sprinklers have been designed with heat sensi- tivity and water distribution charac- teristics proven to help in the control of residential fires and to improve the chance for occupants to escape or be evacuated. Corrosion-resistant coatings, where applicable, are utilized to extend the life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond that which would otherwise be obtained when exposed to corrosive atmo- spheres. Although corrosion-resistant coated sprinklers have passed the standard corrosion tests of the appli- cable Approval agencies, the testing is not representative of all possible cor- rosive atmospheres. Consequently, it is recommended that the end user be consulted with respect to the suit- ability of these coatings for any given corrosive environment. The effects of ambient temperature, concentration of chemicals, and gas/chemical velocity should be considered, as a minimum, along with the corrosive nature of the chemical to which the sprinklers will be exposed. NOTICE The Series LFII Residential Pendent and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers (TY2236) described herein must be installed and maintained in compli- ance with this document and the appli- cable standards of the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA), in addition to the standards of any authorities having jurisdiction.

Installation TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series LFII Residential 4.9K Pendent and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with this section. General Instructions Do not install any bulb type sprinkler if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin- kler held horizontally, a small air bubble should be present. The diameter of the air bubble is approximately 1/16 in. (1,6 mm). A leak-tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained by apply- ing a minimum-to-maximum torque of 7 to 14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N∙m). Higher levels of torque can distort the sprin- kler Inlet with consequent leakage or impairment of the sprinkler. Do not attempt to compensate for insufficient adjustment in an Escutch- eon Plate by under- or over- tightening the sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of the sprinkler fitting to suit. Pendent Sprinklers The Series LFII Residential Pendent Sprinklers must be installed in accor- dance with the following instructions. Step 1. Install pendent sprinklers in the pendent position with the deflector par- allel to the ceiling. Step 2. With pipe thread sealant applied to the pipe threads, hand- tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench, as shown in Figure 4. With reference to Figure 1, apply the W-Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench to the wrench flats. Recessed Pendent Sprinklers The Series LFII Residential Recessed Pendent Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with the following instructions. Step A. Install the recessed pendent sprinklers in the pendent position with the deflector parallel to the ceiling. Step B. After installing either the Style 15 or the Style 20 Mounting Plate over the sprinkler threads, and with pipe thread sealant applied to the pipe threads, hand-tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Step C. Tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench, as shown in Figure 5. With reference to Figure 1, apply the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench to the sprinkler wrench flats. Step D. After the ceiling has been installed, or the finish coat has been applied, slide on either the Style 15 Closure or the Style 20 Closure over the Series LFII Residential Sprinkler and push the Closure over the Mounting Plate until its flange comes in contact with the ceiling. Care and Maintenance TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series LFII Residential 4.9K Pendent and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers must be maintained and serviced in accordance with this section. Before closing a fire protection system main control valve for maintenance work on the fire protection system that it controls, permission to shut down the affected fire protection system must be obtained from the proper authorities and notify all personnel who may be affected by this action. Absence of the outer piece of an escutcheon, which is used to cover a clearance hole, can delay sprinkler operation in a fire situation. The owner must assure that the sprin- klers are not used for hanging any objects and that the sprinklers are only cleaned by means of gently dusting with a feather duster; otherwise, non- operation in the event of a fire or inad- vertent operation may result. Sprinklers which are found to be leaking or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion must be replaced. Automatic sprinklers must never be painted, plated, coated, or other- wise altered after leaving the factory. Modified sprinklers must be replaced. Sprinklers that have been exposed to corrosive products of combustion, but have not operated, should be replaced if they cannot be completely cleaned by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or by brushing it with a soft bristle brush. Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the sprinklers before, during, and after installation. Sprin- klers damaged by dropping, striking, wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must be replaced. Also, replace any sprinkler that has a cracked bulb or that has lost liquid from its bulb. See the Installation section. The owner is responsible for the inspec- tion, testing, and maintenance of their fire protection system and devices in compliance with this document, as well as with the applicable standards of the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSO- CIATION, such as NFPA 25, in addi- tion to the standards of any authorities having jurisdiction.

Residential Lead Free Flat Concealed Sprinkler, Pendent, Model: RC-RES, K-Factor: 3.7, SIN: SS8261 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Model RC-RES Residential Flat Concealed Sprinklers are automatic sprinklers of the compressed fusible solder type. They are decorative and fast responding. The Cover Plate Assembly hides the Deflector, Heat Responsive Element etc., which is concealed above the ceiling. The cover plate has a flat profile, and its diameter is extremely small (2-5/8 inch, 68mm). The push-on and/or thread-on, thread-off design of the concealed cover plate assembly allows for easy installation of the cover plate. Therefore, the Model RC-RES should be your first choice when aesthetics is the major consideration for ultimate appeal and unbeatable performance is desired. The Model RC-RES is designed for residential occupancies and is perfect for use in homes, hotels and other living quarters. The Model RC-RES is to be used in wet pipe residential sprinkler systems for One- and Two- Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes per NFPA 13D; wet pipe residential sprinkler systems for Residential Occupancies up to and Including Four Stories in Height per NFPA 13R; or, wet pipe sprinkler systems for the residential portions of any occupancies per NFPA 13. The Model RC-RES has a 3.7 (53.3 LPM/bar1/2) K-factor that meets the required residential flow rates with minimal residual pressure, which allows for smaller pipe sizes and water supply requirements. For extended installation flexibility, the Model RC-RES provides 1/2 inch (12.8mm) vertical adjustment. This adjustment in installation decreases the need for precise cutting of the pipe that drops to the sprinkler and allows for a perfect fit with a range of pipe lengths. The heat sensitivity and water distribution design of Model RC-RES allows for an increased chance of residents to escape or evacuate in case of a fire. However, residential fire sprinkler systems are not a substitute for fire safety awareness or fire safety construction required by building codes. “Lead Free” is defined in the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act (S.3874) endorsed by AWWA’s Water Utility Council, and California Assembly Bill #1953 as having less than or equal to a weighted average of 0.25% lead in wetted surface of pipes, plumbing fittings and fixtures. WARNINGS The Model RC-RES must be installed and maintained in accordance with the rules stated herein as well as in compliance with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association regulations and the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction. In the event of this condition, consult the authorities having jurisdiction for guidance and approval. Failure to do so may impair the integrity of these devices. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to provide a copy of this document to the owner or their representative, and in turn, it is the obligation of the owner to provide a copy of this document to a succeeding owner. The owner is responsible for maintaining their fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition. The installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted with any related questions.

Marking (Color Code) OPERATION In case of fire, the solder component that holds together the Cover Plate and the Retainer melts. Then the Cover Plate is released at once. As a result, the Deflector drops down to the intended position. Two Heat Collectors are exposed to fire, and when sufficient heat from the fire is reached, internal components of the sprinkler fall apart. This leads to the water flow to be distributed on the affected fire area. (Ref. Figure 2) FIGURE 2. OPERATION PROCESS (The figure is for illustrative purposes only) Page:3 of 8 Document No.U086208 Date:Nov/20/2019 DESIGN CRITERIA The herein stated rules for use and installation of Model RC-RES are provided by the manufacturer and must be strictly implemented for safe and full results. NOTES Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems should only be designed and installed by individuals who are completely familiar with automatic sprinkler system design, installation procedures, and techniques. Several criteria may apply to the installation and usage of each sprinkler. Consequently, it is recommended that the sprinkler system designer review and develop a working understanding of the complete list of criteria prior to initiating the design of the sprinkler system. Questions concerning sprinkler installation and usage criteria, which are not covered by the following instructions, should be submitted to your contracted company. Include sketches and technical details, as appropriate. In some instances, the requirements of this document may concern specifications which are more stringent, and which take precedence over those specified in NFPA 13, 13D, 13R, or by the authority having jurisdiction. The Model RC-RES must not be used in applications where the air pressure above the ceiling is greater than that below. Inspect all sprinklers after installation to ensure that both the gap between the cover plate, ceiling and the 6 slots in the cup are open and free from any air flow impediment. The spray from the sprinkler is distributed radially outward and downward from the sprinkler deflector. Consequently, the sprinklers must be located such that there will be no blind spaces shielded from spray by partitions, room dividers, overhangs or other parts of the dwelling structure. The number of sprinklers within each compartment (as defined by NFPA 13, 13D, or 13R) must be kept as few as possible. Do NOT use more sprinklers than necessary to cover a particular space. Use only the Cover Plate provided for the Model RC-RES. The sprinkler must be secured in place by firmly fastening the sprinkler system piping to the structure. If the sprinkler is not properly secured in position, reaction forces resulting from sprinkler operation could alter its orientation and its water distribution pattern. Obstruction to Water Distribution Locations of sprinklers must follow the obstruction rules of NFPA 13, 13D and 13R for Residential Sprinklers. General Service Conditions The Model RC-RES must only be utilized in WET PIPE sprinkler systems. Heat Source Criteria Refer to NFPA 13D, 13R or 13 for the requirements relating to the prevention of possible activation of the Heat Responsive Element of Model RC-RES, due to the exposure of a heat source other than an actual fire. Available Sprinkler Temperature Ratings Sprinkler Temperature Classification Sprinkler Nominal Temperature Rating Maximum Ambient Ceiling Temperature Temperature Rating of the Cover Plate Assembly Ordinary 162°F (72°C) 100°F (38°C) 140°F (60°C) Intermediate 205°F (96°C) 150°F (66°C) 162°F (72°C) Precautionary Warnings for Corrosive Environments Model RC-RES sprinklers should not be installed where they may be subjected to a corrosive environment including the following: (1) Chlorine ion and Chloride environment. Stress corrosion cracking may be caused by exposure to environments with Chlorine ion and Chloride. Exposure to this environment may result in sprinklers operating under Non-Fire conditions or Not Operating when exposed to an actual fire. (2) Sprinkler system piping with Copper. Sprinkler systems should be constructed in compliance with the applicable standards and the requirements for copper piping when copper piping is used in the sprinkler system. (Reference standards NFPA 13, ASTM B813, B828, and CDA (Copper Development Association) – Solder Joint) All residual flux must be removed from the interior and exterior of the copper piping by thoroughly flushing before installation of the Sprinkler Heads. Otherwise, residues of flux may cause corrosion and/or leakage in the sprinkler system. Page:4 of 8 Document No.U086208 Date:Nov/20/2019 Hydraulic Design Criteria The minimum required sprinkler flow rates for systems designed to NFPA 13D or 13R are given in TABLE A as a function of temperature rating and the maximum allowable coverage area. The sprinkler flow rate is the minimum required discharge from the most hydraulically demanding sprinkler from each of the total number of “design sprinklers” as specified in NFPA 13D or 13R. For systems designed to NFPA 13, the number of designed sprinklers is to be the four most hydraulically demanding sprinklers. The minimum required discharge from each of the four sprinklers is to be the greater of the following: ・ The flow rates given in TABLE A for NFPA 13D and 13R as a function of temperature rating and maximum allowable coverage area. ・ A minimum discharge of 0.1GPM/sq.ft. [4.07LPM/sq.m] over the “design area” comprised of the four most hydraulically demanding sprinklers for the actual coverage area being protected by the four sprinklers. TABLE A.

The maximum spacing between sprinklers cannot go beyond the coverage area calculated by using the specific hydraulic factors. (Ref. TABLE A) Page:5 of 8 Document No.U086208 Date:Nov/20/2019 INSTALLATION The Model RC-RES must be installed in accordance with the following instructions: NOTES Do not use any sprinklers which have been subjected to potential mechanical damage. Do not use any sprinklers which show deformation or cracking in either the Sprinkler or the Protective Cap. Prior to installation, sprinklers should be maintained in the original cartons and packaging until used to minimize the potential for damage to the sprinklers that could cause improper operation or non-operation. The Protective Cap must remain on the sprinkler during installation. After the installation is completed, the Protective Cap must be removed to place the sprinkler in service. Use a torque of 7 to 14 ft·lbs (9.5 to 19.0 N·m) to achieve a 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint. If you exceed the recommended maximum torque, this could result in damage to the sprinkler inlet, which may lead to leakage from the sprinkler. Use only NR-H model wrench socket for installation of RC-RES sprinklers. Use of any other wrench or socket is prohibited and may cause damage to the sprinkler. In case of insufficient adjustment in Cover Plate installation, do not try to overly tighten, screw the sprinkler too loosely or make any modification to the cover plate assembly. Readjust the sprinkler fitting for a better fit. Do not rotate the Cap Remover RC to the left with force when placing the two hook arms into place. The installed sprinkler may become loosened, which may cause water leakage. Installing Procedure Step 1 The installation requirements for the sprinkler are as follows: to be installed only in the pendent position with the waterway perpendicular to the ceiling. Install the sprinkler fitting so that the distance from the face of the fitting to the mounting surface will be nominally 2 inches (50.8mm) as shown in Figure 3. Step 2 With pipe thread sealant applied to the threads, hand tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Then tighten it with the Socket NR-H or Ratchet (3/8” drive) & Socket NR-H Combination (Ref. Figure 4). The teeth of the Socket must fit perfectly with the grooves on the Sprinkler for proper installation (Ref. Figure 4). Step 3 If desired, the Protective Cap may also be used to locate the center of the clearance hole by gently pushing the ceiling material against the center point of the Protective Cap. Before the installation of the ceiling, the sprinkler installation can be started with a 2-3/8 inch (60mm) diameter clearance hole (Ref. Figure 3). Use the “Vertical Adjustment” indicator on the Protective Cap to check for proper installation height (Ref. Figure 3). Step 4 Use the Cap Remover RC to remove the Protective Cap (Ref. Figure 5), and then push or screw a Cover Plate Assembly on the Cup of the Sprinkler by hand until its flange just has contact with the ceiling (Ref. Figure 6 and Figure 7). Stop tightening the Cover Plate Assembly once the flange has contact with the ceiling. If the ceiling has been lifted from its normal position in the process of tightening the Cover Plate Assembly, readjust the cover plate assembly as necessary. If the flange of the Cover Plate Assembly cannot contact the ceiling sufficiently, readjust the sprinkler fitting as necessary. When properly installed, there is a nominal 1/16 inch (1.6mm) air gap between the lip of the Cover Plate and the ceiling, as shown in Figure 6. FIGURE 3. INSTALLATION FIGURE 4. RATCHET & SOCKET Page:6 of 8 Document No.U086208 Date:Nov/20/2019 FIGURE 5. PROTECTIVE CAP REMOVAL FIGURE 6. INSTALLATION (COVER PLATE ASSEMBLY) FIGURE 7. INSTALLATION (CORRECT and INCORRECT) Page:7 of 8 Document No.U086208 Date:Nov/20/2019 CARE AND MAINTENANCE The following instructions must be implemented for the maintenance and service of the Model RC-RES. NOTES Wet pipe sprinkler systems must be maintained at a minimum temperature of 40°F / 4°C to prevent freezing and bursting of the pipe and/or sprinklers. Automatic sprinklers are not to be tested with a heat source. Operation of the heat responsive element can result. Absence of a Cover Plate Assembly may delay the response time of the sprinkler in case of a fire. Install the cover plate assembly properly, as shown in Figure 6. Improper installation of the cover plate assembly may cause improper operation or non-operation. If the ceiling is to be repainted after the installation of the Sprinkler, care must be exercised to ensure that the new paint does not seal off any of the air gap. Factory painted Cover Plates must not be repainted. They should be replaced, if necessary, by factory painted cover plates. Non-factory applied paint may adversely delay or prevent sprinkler operation in case of a fire. Do not pull the Cover Plate. Separation may result. In preparation for maintenance of the fire protection system, permission to close the main control valve must be obtained from the proper authorities, and all affected parties by this action, and must be informed before the maintenance session can commence. Do NOT enclose any sprinklers within drapes, curtains, or valances. Do NOT hang anything from the sprinklers. Do NOT clean the sprinklers with soap and/or water, detergents, ammonia, cleaning fluids, or other chemicals. Remove dust, lint, cobwebs, cocoons, insects, and larvae by gently brushing with a feather duster or gently vacuuming with a soft bristle (i.e., dusting) brush attachment. Exercise suitable safety precautions in the use and storage of highly flammable materials. The rapid rate of fire development and spread of these materials can reduce the ability of the sprinkler system to aid in the control of a fire involving such hazards. Leaking or corroded sprinklers must be replaced. Automatic Sprinklers must be kept in a cool and dry place. Automatic sprinklers must never be physically altered, such as painted, plated, or coated, once shipped from the factory. If the sprinklers have been in any way modified, they must be replaced. Great caution must be applied to prevent damage to the sprinklers at all stages - before, during, and after installation. Damaged units because of dropping, hitting, over-tightening, or wrench slippage, must be replaced. The Model RC-RES must only be replaced with pendent sprinklers which are listed for residential fire protection service and which have the same nominal K-Factor, the same coverage area, and the same or lower flow ratings (as indicated under TABLE A “Hydraulic Design Criteria”). When remodeling, such as by adding false beams or light fixtures or changing the location of compartment walls, first verify that the new construction will not violate the installation requirements of the applicable standards of NFPA.

Residential Lead Free Flat Concealed Sprinkler, Pendent, Model: RC-RES, K-Factor: 4.9, SIN: SS8464 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Model RC-RES Residential Flat Concealed Sprinklers are automatic sprinklers of the compressed fusible solder type. They are decorative and fast responding. The Cover Plate Assembly hides the Deflector, Heat Responsive Element etc., which is concealed above the ceiling. The cover plate has a flat profile, and its diameter is extremely small (2-5/8 inch, 68mm). The push-on and/or thread-on, thread-off design of the concealed cover plate assembly allows for easy installation of the cover plate. Therefore, the Model RC-RES should be your first choice when aesthetics is the major consideration for ultimate appeal and unbeatable performance is desired. The Model RC-RES is designed for residential occupancies and is perfect for use in homes, hotels and other living quarters. The Model RC-RES is to be used in wet pipe residential sprinkler systems for One- and Two- Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes per NFPA 13D; wet pipe residential sprinkler systems for Residential Occupancies up to and Including Four Stories in Height per NFPA 13R; or, wet pipe sprinkler systems for the residential portions of any occupancies per NFPA 13. The Model RC-RES has a 4.9 (70.6 LPM/bar1/2) K-factor that meets the required residential flow rates with minimal residual pressure, which allows for smaller pipe sizes and water supply requirements. For extended installation flexibility, the Model RC-RES provides 1/2 inch (12.8mm) vertical adjustment. This adjustment in installation decreases the need for precise cutting of the pipe that drops to the sprinkler and allows for a perfect fit with a range of pipe lengths. The heat sensitivity and water distribution design of Model RC-RES allows for an increased chance of residents to escape or evacuate in case of a fire. However, residential fire sprinkler systems are not a substitute for fire safety awareness or fire safety construction required by building codes. “Lead Free” is defined in the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act (S.3874) endorsed by AWWA’s Water Utility Council, and California Assembly Bill #1953 as having less than or equal to a weighted average of 0.25% lead in wetted surface of pipes, plumbing fittings and fixtures. WARNINGS The Model RC-RES must be installed and maintained in accordance with the rules stated herein as well as in compliance with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association regulations and the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction. In the event of this condition, consult the authorities having jurisdiction for guidance and approval. Failure to do so may impair the integrity of these devices. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to provide a copy of this document to the owner or their representative, and in turn, it is the obligation of the owner to provide a copy of this document to a succeeding owner. The owner is responsible for maintaining their fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition. The installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted with any related questions.

Marking (Color Code) OPERATION In case of fire, the solder component that holds together the Cover Plate and the Retainer melts. Then the Cover Plate is released at once. As a result, the Deflector drops down to the intended position. Two Heat Collectors are exposed to fire, and when sufficient heat from the fire is reached, internal components of the sprinkler fall apart. This leads to the water flow to be distributed on the affected fire area. (Ref. Figure 2) FIGURE 2. OPERATION PROCESS (The figure is for illustrative purposes only) Page:3 of 8 Document No.U085167 Date:Nov/20/2019 DESIGN CRITERIA The herein stated rules for use and installation of Model RC-RES are provided by the manufacturer and must be strictly implemented for safe and full results. NOTES Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems should only be designed and installed by individuals who are completely familiar with automatic sprinkler system design, installation procedures, and techniques. Several criteria may apply to the installation and usage of each sprinkler. Consequently, it is recommended that the sprinkler system designer review and develop a working understanding of the complete list of criteria prior to initiating the design of the sprinkler system. Questions concerning sprinkler installation and usage criteria, which are not covered by the following instructions, should be submitted to your contracted company. Include sketches and technical details, as appropriate. In some instances, the requirements of this document may concern specifications which are more stringent, and which take precedence over those specified in NFPA 13, 13D, 13R, or by the authority having jurisdiction. The Model RC-RES must not be used in applications where the air pressure above the ceiling is greater than that below. Inspect all sprinklers after installation to ensure that both the gap between the cover plate, ceiling and the 6 slots in the cup are open and free from any air flow impediment. The spray from the sprinkler is distributed radially outward and downward from the sprinkler deflector. Consequently, the sprinklers must be located such that there will be no blind spaces shielded from spray by partitions, room dividers, overhangs or other parts of the dwelling structure. The number of sprinklers within each compartment (as defined by NFPA 13, 13D, or 13R) must be kept as few as possible. Do NOT use more sprinklers than necessary to cover a particular space. Use only the Cover Plate provided for the Model RC-RES. The sprinkler must be secured in place by firmly fastening the sprinkler system piping to the structure. If the sprinkler is not properly secured in position, reaction forces resulting from sprinkler operation could alter its orientation and its water distribution pattern. Obstruction to Water Distribution Locations of sprinklers must follow the obstruction rules of NFPA 13, 13D and 13R for Residential Sprinklers. General Service Conditions The Model RC-RES must only be utilized in WET PIPE sprinkler systems. Heat Source Criteria Refer to NFPA 13D, 13R or 13 for the requirements relating to the prevention of possible activation of the Heat Responsive Element of Model RC-RES, due to the exposure of a heat source other than an actual fire. Available Sprinkler Temperature Ratings Sprinkler Temperature Classification Sprinkler Nominal Temperature Rating Maximum Ambient Ceiling Temperature Temperature Rating of the Cover Plate Assembly Ordinary 162°F (72°C) 100°F (38°C) 140°F (60°C) Intermediate 175°F (79°C) 150°F (66°C) 140°F (60°C) 1) Intermediate 175°F (79°C) 150°F (66°C) 162°F (72°C) Intermediate 205°F (96°C) 150°F (66°C) 162°F (72°C) 1) Maximum ambient temperature for the Cover Plate Assembly is 100°F (38°C). Precautionary Warnings for Corrosive Environments Model RC-RES sprinklers should not be installed where they may be subjected to a corrosive environment including the following: (1) Chlorine ion and Chloride environment. Stress corrosion cracking may be caused by exposure to environments with Chlorine ion and Chloride. Exposure to this environment may result in sprinklers operating under Non-Fire conditions or Not Operating when exposed to an actual fire. (2) Sprinkler system piping with Copper. Sprinkler systems should be constructed in compliance with the applicable standards and the requirements for copper piping when copper piping is used in the sprinkler system. (Reference standards NFPA 13, ASTM B813, B828, and CDA (Copper Development Association) – Solder Joint) Page:4 of 8 Document No.U085167 Date:Nov/20/2019 All residual flux must be removed from the interior and exterior of the copper piping by thoroughly flushing before installation of the Sprinkler Heads. Otherwise, residues of flux may cause corrosion and/or leakage in the sprinkler system. Hydraulic Design Criteria The minimum required sprinkler flow rates for systems designed to NFPA 13D or 13R are given in TABLE A as a function of temperature rating and the maximum allowable coverage area. The sprinkler flow rate is the minimum required discharge from the most hydraulically demanding sprinkler from each of the total number of “design sprinklers” as specified in NFPA 13D or 13R. For systems designed to NFPA 13, the number of designed sprinklers is to be the four most hydraulically demanding sprinklers. The minimum required discharge from each of the four sprinklers is to be the greater of the following: ・ The flow rates given in TABLE A for NFPA 13D and 13R as a function of temperature rating and maximum allowable coverage area. ・ A minimum discharge of 0.1GPM/sq.ft. [4.07LPM/sq.m] over the “design area” comprised of the four most hydraulically demanding sprinklers for the actual coverage area being protected by the four sprinklers. TABLE A.

Concealed 8 (2.4) (a) For coverage area dimensions less than the above mentioned, it needs to use the minimum required flow for the Next Higher Coverage Area listed. (b) Requirement is based on minimum flow in GPM (LPM) from each sprinkler. The associated residual pressures are calculated using the nominal K-Factor. Refer to Hydraulic Design Criteria Section for details. Sprinkler Spacing Criteria The minimum spacing between sprinklers is 8 feet (2.4m). The maximum spacing between sprinklers cannot go beyond the coverage area calculated by using the specific hydraulic factors. (Ref. TABLE A) Page:5 of 8 Document No.U085167 Date:Nov/20/2019 INSTALLATION The Model RC-RES must be installed in accordance with the following instructions: NOTES Do not use any sprinklers which have been subjected to potential mechanical damage. Do not use any sprinklers which show deformation or cracking in either the Sprinkler or the Protective Cap. Prior to installation, sprinklers should be maintained in the original cartons and packaging until used to minimize the potential for damage to the sprinklers that could cause improper operation or non-operation. The Protective Cap must remain on the sprinkler during installation. After the installation is completed, the Protective Cap must be removed to place the sprinkler in service. Use a torque of 7 to 14 ft·lbs (9.5 to 19.0 N·m) to achieve a 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint. If you exceed the recommended maximum torque, this could result in damage to the sprinkler inlet, which may lead to leakage from the sprinkler. Use only NR-H model wrench socket for installation of RC-RES sprinklers. Use of any other wrench or socket is prohibited and may cause damage to the sprinkler. In case of insufficient adjustment in Cover Plate installation, do not try to overly tighten, screw the sprinkler too loosely or make any modification to the cover plate assembly. Readjust the sprinkler fitting for a better fit. Do not rotate the Cap Remover RC to the left with force when placing the two hook arms into place. The installed sprinkler may become loosened, which may cause water leakage. Installing Procedure Step 1 The installation requirements for the sprinkler are as follows: to be installed only in the pendent position with the waterway perpendicular to the ceiling. Install the sprinkler fitting so that the distance from the face of the fitting to the mounting surface will be nominally 2 inches (50.8mm) as shown in Figure 3. Step 2 With pipe thread sealant applied to the threads, hand tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Then tighten it with the Socket NR-H or Ratchet (3/8” drive) & Socket NR-H Combination (Ref. Figure 4). The teeth of the Socket must fit perfectly with the grooves on the Sprinkler for proper installation (Ref. Figure 4). Step 3 If desired, the Protective Cap may also be used to locate the center of the clearance hole by gently pushing the ceiling material against the center point of the Protective Cap. Before the installation of the ceiling, the sprinkler installation can be started with a 2-3/8 inch (60mm) diameter clearance hole (Ref. Figure 3). Use the “Vertical Adjustment” indicator on the Protective Cap to check for proper installation height (Ref. Figure 3). Step 4 Use the Cap Remover RC to remove the Protective Cap (Ref. Figure 5), and then push or screw a Cover Plate Assembly on the Cup of the Sprinkler by hand until its flange just has contact with the ceiling (Ref. Figure 6 and Figure 7). Stop tightening the Cover Plate Assembly once the flange has contact with the ceiling. If the ceiling has been lifted from its normal position in the process of tightening the Cover Plate Assembly, readjust the cover plate assembly as necessary. If the flange of the Cover Plate Assembly cannot contact the ceiling sufficiently, readjust the sprinkler fitting as necessary. When properly installed, there is a nominal 1/16 inch (1.6mm) air gap between the lip of the Cover Plate and the ceiling, as shown in Figure 6. FIGURE 3. INSTALLATION FIGURE 4. RATCHET & SOCKET Page:6 of 8 Document No.U085167 Date:Nov/20/2019 FIGURE 5. PROTECTIVE CAP REMOVAL FIGURE 6. INSTALLATION (COVER PLATE ASSEMBLY) FIGURE 7. INSTALLATION (CORRECT and INCORRECT) Page:7 of 8 Document No.U085167 Date:Nov/20/2019 CARE AND MAINTENANCE The following instructions must be implemented for the maintenance and service of the Model RC-RES. NOTES Wet pipe sprinkler systems must be maintained at a minimum temperature of 40°F / 4°C to prevent freezing and bursting of the pipe and/or sprinklers. Automatic sprinklers are not to be tested with a heat source. Operation of the heat responsive element can result. Absence of a Cover Plate Assembly may delay the response time of the sprinkler in case of a fire. Install the cover plate assembly properly, as shown in Figure 6. Improper installation of the cover plate assembly may cause improper operation or non-operation. If the ceiling is to be repainted after the installation of the Sprinkler, care must be exercised to ensure that the new paint does not seal off any of the air gap. Factory painted Cover Plates must not be repainted. They should be replaced, if necessary, by factory painted cover plates. Non-factory applied paint may adversely delay or prevent sprinkler operation in case of a fire. Do not pull the Cover Plate. Separation may result. In preparation for maintenance of the fire protection system, permission to close the main control valve must be obtained from the proper authorities, and all affected parties by this action, and must be informed before the maintenance session can commence. Do NOT enclose any sprinklers within drapes, curtains, or valances. Do NOT hang anything from the sprinklers. Do NOT clean the sprinklers with soap and/or water, detergents, ammonia, cleaning fluids, or other chemicals. Remove dust, lint, cobwebs, cocoons, insects, and larvae by gently brushing with a feather duster or gently vacuuming with a soft bristle (i.e., dusting) brush attachment. Exercise suitable safety precautions in the use and storage of highly flammable materials. The rapid rate of fire development and spread of these materials can reduce the ability of the sprinkler system to aid in the control of a fire involving such hazards. Leaking or corroded sprinklers must be replaced. Automatic Sprinklers must be kept in a cool and dry place. Automatic sprinklers must never be physically altered, such as painted, plated, or coated, once shipped from the factory. If the sprinklers have been in any way modified, they must be replaced. Great caution must be applied to prevent damage to the sprinklers at all stages - before, during, and after installation. Damaged units because of dropping, hitting, over-tightening, or wrench slippage, must be replaced. The Model RC-RES must only be replaced with pendent sprinklers which are listed for residential fire protection service and which have the same nominal K-Factor, the same coverage area, and the same or lower flow ratings (as indicated under TABLE A “Hydraulic Design Criteria”). When remodeling, such as by adding false beams or light fixtures or changing the location of compartment walls, first verify that the new construction will not violate the installation requirements of the applicable standards of NFPA. Alter the new construction and/or the sprinkler system to suit the requirements of this document and the applicable NFPA regulations.
