RASCO/Reliable F-3 Fire Sprinkler Head Guard GF3

RASCO/Reliable F-3 Fire Sprinkler Head Guard GF3

Model F series guards and guards with shields are designed to be installed on the sprinkler prior to installation. The assembly is then installed with the Model J wrench for Installation of Guard, Water Shield, and Sprinkler Assembly.

Sprinkler Head Guards provide protection from occasional light contact in warehouses, institutional and other applications.  Sprinkler head guards do not protect sprinkler heads from direct impact or abuse.

Assemble the guard on the sprinkler using the following technique:  With both cups unhooked, slightly spread open the guard. Insert steel plate into the installed sprinkler between the threads and the wrench flats. The steel plate tabs should face the sprinkler wrench flats and four contact points should engage the sprinkler neck. Snap the upper locking clip (steel plates) into place. Close the lower clip at the top of the guard and slide it down to the notch.  After installing the guard, thread EITHER a 1/2” or 3/4” lock nut (for guard only) OR an S-1 (1/2”) or S-2 (3/4”) water shield (for guard/shield assembly) onto the sprinkler threads. The final assembly can then be installed into a fitting using the model J Wrench for Installation of Guard, Water Shield, and Sprinkler Assembly.” The guard is more securely installed. Install the lock nut on to the NPT threads until the nut is securely against the guard.

For use with RASCO/Reliable fire sprinkler heads.
