Series RFII — 5.6 K-factor
"Royal Flush II" Pendent Concealed Sprinklers
Quick Response, Extended Coverage
General
Description
The Series RFII, 5.6 K-Factor, Ex-
tended Coverage, Light Hazard
(ECLH) "Royal Flush II" Concealed
Pendent Sprinklers are decorative, 3
mm bulb type sprinklers featuring a flat
cover plate designed to conceal the
sprinkler. It is the best choice for archi-
tecturally sensitive areas such as hotel
lobbies, office buildings, churches,
and restaurants.
They are intended for use in automatic
sprinkler systems designed in accord-
ance with standard installation rules
(e.g., NFPA 13). The fast response
thermal sensitivity rating of the Series
RFII (TY3532) provides for a quick re-
sponse extended coverage (QREC)
rating up to an 18 ft. x 18 ft. coverage
area.
Each unit includes a Cover Plate As-
sembly that conceals the sprinkler op-
erating components above the ceiling.
The separable two-piece design of the
Cover Plate and Support Cup Assem-
blies allows installation of the sprin-
klers and pressure testing of the fire
protection system prior to installation
of a suspended ceiling or application
of the finish coating to a fixed ceiling.
They also permit removal of sus-
pended ceiling panels for access to
building service equipment without
IMPORTANT
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 in-
stallation 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.

having to first shut down the fire pro-
tection system and remove sprinklers.
Also, the separable two-piece design
of the the Sprinkler provides for 1/2
inch (12,7 mm) of vertical adjustment,
to reduce the accuracy to which the
length of fixed pipe drops to the sprin-
klers must be cut.
The Series RFII Sprinklers are
shipped with a Disposable Protective
Cap. The Protective Cap is temporarily
removed for installation, and then it
can be replaced to help protect the
sprinkler while the ceiling is being in-
stalled or finished. The tip of the Pro-
tective Cap can also be used to mark
the center of the ceiling hole into plas-
ter board, ceiling tiles, etc. by gently
pushing the ceiling product against the
Protective Cap. When the ceiling in-
stallation is complete the Protective
Cap is removed and the Cover Plate
Assembly installed.
