Product Description
The Reliable Model G6-56 is a concealed quick response
standard spray sidewall sprinkler that utilizes a push-on/pull-
off flat cover plate assembly. The sprinkler can be used in
any occupancy where sidewall sprinklers are permitted, and
is especially well-suited for use in dormitories, hotels, health
care facilities, and offices where aesthetically pleasing sidewall
sprinkler protection is needed.
The flat cover plate is attached to the skirt using 135*F (57*C)
ordinary temperature classification solder. When the temperature
rises, the solder holding the cover plate melts, allowing the
release of the plate and exposing the concealed fire sprinkler to
the rising temperature.
The Model G5-56 utilizes a quick response solder link that
enables the sprinkler to activate five to six times quicker than
a standard response sprinkler of the same temperature rating.
The sprinkler is listed for a maximum service pressure of 175 psi
(12,0 bar), and is shipped with a factory installed protective cap.
Installation
Care must be exercised that orifice size, temperature rating,
and sprinkler spacing are in accordance with this bulletin and
the latest published standards of the National Fire Protection
Association, and approved by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Apply a PTFE-based thread sealant or thread sealant tape to
the sprinkler threads. Using the Model G6 Wrench (see figure
2), install the sprinkler into the fitting and verify the sprinkler is
properly oriented.

Model G6-56 Concealed Quick Response
Important! Reliable fire sprinklers must be handled, stored, and
installed in accordance with the guidelines in Caution Sheet 310
and this bulletin. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
unintended operation or nonoperation of the fire protection system.
Model G6-56 Concealed Sidewall Sprinkler
It is not necessary to remove the factory installed plastic
protective cap since it is sized to fit inside the Model G6 wrench.
The G6 wrench must be properly orientated on the sprinkler
using the key way in the wrench for proper fit. The G6 wrench is
provided with a flat surface for use with a bubble level and TOP
marking to allow proper orientation of the horizontal sidewall
deflector. Final leveling can be performed after a leak proof joint
is obtained with a torque between 8 and 18 ft-lbs (11 to 24 N.m).
Leave the protective cap in place to protect the sprinkler while the
wall is finished.
The protective cap must be removed and the Model G6 listed
cover plate installed prior to the sprinkler system being placed in
service.
Concealed cover plate/cup assemblies are listed only for use
with specific sprinklers. The use of any other cover plate with the
Model G6-56 Concealed Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler, the use of
the G6 cover plate assembly on any sprinkler with which is it not
specifically listed, or alteration of the sprinkler or cover plate will
void all guarantees, warranties, listings, and approvals.
Note: Do NOT install the Model G6-56 sprinkler in locations
where there is positive pressure in the cavity behind the sprinkler.
