Product Description
The Reliable Model G6-80 is a concealed quick response
extended coverage sidewall sprinkler that utilizes a push-on/pull-
off flat cover plate assembly. The sprinkler can be used in
any light hazard 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 G5-80 quick-response sprinkler utilizes a fast
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
The Model G6-80 sprinkler is intended for installation in light
hazard occupancies in accordance with NFPA 13. This sprinkler
is especially well-suited for use in non-corrosive environments in
student dormitories, hotels, hospitals and care facilities.
Care must be exercised that 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.

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 G6-80 Concealed Sidewall Sprinkler
Model G6-80 Concealed Horizontal Sidewall sprinklers utilize a
spring loaded deployable deflector. It is not necessary to remove
the factory installed plastic protective cap as it is sized to fit inside
the Model G6 wrench. The wrench must be properly oriented
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) using a proper thread sealant. 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 G6-80 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 cover plate will void all
guarantees, warranties, listings, and approvals.
Note: Do NOT install the Model G6-80 sprinkler in locations
where there is positive pressure in the cavity behind the sprinkler.
