assembly utilizes a Model F1FR pendent sprinkler in
a Model CCP cup and cover plate assembly. The cup
is securely factory threaded on the sprinkler inlet
end. The assembly is shipped with a protective cap.
The sprinkler and cup are easily installed into the
drop nipple using the Model RC1 Sprinkler Wrench.
The cover plate assembly is attached to the sprinkler
cup using a cover plate assembly with flexible tabs

the rising ambient temperature.
