Series RFII — 5.6 K-factor
"Royal Flush II" Pendent Concealed Sprinklers
Quick & Standard Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The Series RFII Quick Response
(3 mm bulb) & Standard Response (5
mm bulb), 5.6 K-Factor, "Royal Flush
II" Concealed Pendent Sprinklers are
decorative 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.
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
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.
As an option, the Series RFII Standard
Response (5 mm bulb) "Royal Flush II"

Concealed Pendent Sprinklers may be
fitted with a silicone Air and Dust Seal
(Ref. Fig. 5). The Air and Dust Seal is
intended for sensitive areas where it is
desirable to stop air and dust travel
through the cover plate from the area
above the ceiling.
