NYC MEA 258-93-E Patents: U.S. Patent No. 6,374,919 Product Description The Reliable Model SWC Concealed Quick Response Extend- ed Coverage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler is an attractive, con- cealed sprinkler assembly that utilizes a push-on/thread-off cover plate assembly. The assembly is shipped with a protective cap. The Model CCP/HSW cover plate is attached to the skirt us- ing 135°F (57°C) ordinary temperature classification solder. The sprinkler and cup are easily installed into the sprinkler fitting using the Model GFR1 Sprinkler Wrench. When the ambient temperature rises, the solder holding the cover plate melts, allowing the release of this part and thus expos- ing the sprinkler inside to the rising ambient temperature. The Model SWC utilizes a 3.0mm frangible glass bulb. This quick response enables the sprinkler to apply water to a fire soon- er than standard sprinklers of the same temperature rating. This sprinkler can handle a maximum service pressure of 300 psi (20,7 bar). Application and Installation The Model SWC sprinkler is intended for installation in light haz- ard occupancies in accordance with NFPA 13. This sprinkler is especially well-suited for use in student dormitories, hotels, hospi- tals and care facilities, and can be used where the pressure enter- ing the sprinkler system is in excess of 175 psi (12 bar). Model SWC Concealed Horizontal Sidewall sprinklers utilize a Model F1FR-300 QREC-9 Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler with a threaded cup which is factory attached to the sprinkler. The as- sembly is completed by the installation of the attractive, 135°F (57°C) rated Model CCP/HSW push on / thread off cover plate assembly. Apply a Teflon* - based thread sealant to the sprinkler threads. After a 25/8” (67mm) diameter hole is cut in the wall, the sprinkler is easily installed with the Model GFR1 Wrench. When installing the sprinkler, the protective cap is removed and the wrench is positioned into the sprinkler/cup assembly until the two wrench faces engage the wrenching flats on the sprinkler. The sprinkler is then tightened into the pipe fitting. When inserting or remov- ing the wrench from the sprinkler/cup assembly, care should be taken to prevent damage to the sprinkler. DO NOT WRENCH ON ANY OTHER PART OF THE SPRINKLER. The cover plate assembly is then pushed onto the cup. Cover plate assemblies provide ½” (13mm) of cover adjustment. Final adjustment is made by turning the cover plate clockwise until the skirt flange makes full contact with the wall surface. Cover plate removal requires turning in the counter clockwise direction. Concealed cover plate/cup assemblies are listed only for use with specific sprinklers. The use of any other concealed cover plate/cup assembly with the Model F1FR-300 QREC-9 Horizon- tal Sidewall Sprinkler or the use of the Model CCP/HSW con- cealed cover plate assembly on any sprinkler with which it is not specifically listed will void all guarantees, warranties, listings and approvals. * DuPont Registered Trademark
