Product Description
The Reliable Model G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 uses a proven
quick response fusible element in a standard style sprinkler
frame with a drop-down deflector. This assembly is recessed
into the ceiling and concealed by a flat cover plate assem-
bly. The threaded engagement provides ¾" (19mm) of cover
adjustment. The flat cover plate is attached to the skirt using
either 135°F (57°C) or 165°F (74°C) ordinary temperature clas-
sification solder.
When the ceiling temperature rises, the solder holding the
flat cover plate melts, the flat cover plate released thus expos-
ing the sprinkler inside to the rising ambient temperature.
The subsequent fusing of the element opens the waterway
and causes the deflector to distribute the water. Any secure
engagement between the cover plate and cup will assure that
the drop-down deflector is properly located below the ceiling.
