Product Description
Model LT56 series sprinklers are cULus Listed Specific Ap-
plication sprinklers designed for installation in accordance
with NFPA 13. The sprinklers produce a spray pattern that is
specifically designed to cover long narrow spaces, such as
corridors and hallways, with fewer sprinklers and less wa-
ter demand compared with traditional extended coverage
sprinklers.
Model LT56 series sprinklers are quick-response sprinklers
for use in Light Hazard occupancies only. Model LT56 and
Model LT56-300 sprinklers have a glass bulb operating ele-
ment. Model LT56L, LT56L-300, and LT56C sprinklers have
a fusible link operating element. Model LT56, LT56-300,
LT56L, and LT56L-300 sprinklers are available with Model
FV recessed escutcheons, Model FP recessed escutch-
eons, or Model CCP concealed cover plates. Model LT56C
sprinklers require a Model G4 flat concealed cover plate.

Application
Model LT56 series sprinklers are cULus Listed Specific Applica-
tion sprinklers for use in Light Hazard corridors and hallways in
accordance with NFPA 13. The sprinklers are classified as Spe-
cial Sprinklers based on the maximum and minimum allowable
spacing, but shall otherwise be designed in accordance with the
requirements of NFPA 13 for Extended Coverage Pendent Spray
sprinklers. Model LT56 series sprinklers are quick-response sprin-
klers for use in Light Hazard occupancies only.
The sprinklers must be hydraulically designed using the minimum
flow and pressure specified in the Hydraulic Design Criteria ta-
bles in this Bulletin. Figure 7 outlines the maximum coverage area
of Model LT56 series sprinklers. Figure 8 identifies the sprinklers
that can be located adjacent to Model LT56 series sprinklers; note
that LT56 series sprinkler are not permitted to be installed with the
short coverage length oriented towards the short coverage length
of an adjacent LT56 series sprinkler. An example layout of Model
LT56 series sprinklers is illustrated in Figure 9.
escutcheons, and Model CCP cover plate, are the only recessed
escutcheons and concealed cover plate to be used with Mod-
el LT56, LT56L, LT56-300 and LT56L-300 sprinklers. The Model
G4 cover plate is the only concealed cover plate permitted for
use with the Model LT56C sprinkler. Use of any other recessed
escutcheon or cover plate will void all approvals and warranties.
Do not install Model FV and FP escutcheons or Model CCP and
G4 cover plates in ceilings that are positively pressurized with
respect to the occupied space below.
When installing Model LT56, LT56L, LT56-300, and LT56L-300
sprinklers use only the Model D wrench for pendent installations
and the Model GFR2 wrench for recessed pendent and concealed
installation. The Model LT56C sprinkler must be installed with the
Model FC wrench. Use of wrenches other than those specified
may damage these sprinklers.
Model LT56 series sprinklers must be installed with the frame arms
or towers perpendicular to the length of the corridor or hallway.
The deflector is marked with “<-28 FT->” to indicate the direction
of the 28 ft. (8.5 m) coverage length. Model LT56 series sprinklers
need not be installed with the frame arms or towers parallel to the
sprinkler pipe.
Recommended installation torque is 8-18 ft-lbs (11 – 24 N-m). Do
not tighten sprinklers over the maximum recommended torque.
Exceeding the maximum recommended torque may cause leak-
age or impairment of the sprinklers.
Do not install any glass bulb sprinklers where the bulb is cracked
or there is a loss of liquid from the bulb.
Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors to minimize
bulb damage during shipping, handling and installation. Remove
the bulb protector at the time the sprinkler system is placed in
service for fire protection. Removal of the bulb protectors before
this time may leave the bulb vulnerable to damage. The required
sprinkler wrenches are designed to install sprinklers with bulb
protectors in place. Remove bulb protectors by undoing the clasp
by hand. Do not use tools to remove the bulb protectors.

Maintenance
Reliable Model LT56 series sprinklers should be inspected and
the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25,
as well as the requirements of any Authorities Having Jurisdic-
tion.
Prior to installation, sprinklers should remain in the original car-
tons and packaging until used. This will minimize the potential
for damage to sprinklers that could cause improper operation
or non-operation.
Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia liquid or
any other cleaning fluids. Remove dust by gentle vacuuming
without touching the sprinkler.
Replace any sprinkler which has been painted (other than facto-
ry applied). Properly installed Model CCP and Model G4 cover
plates will have an air gap that is required for proper operation,
do not seal the gap or paint the cover plates. Model FV and FP
escutcheons as well as Model CCP and Model G4 cover plates
have holes in the ring or cup that must remain unobstructed.
Replace any sprinkler which has been damaged, cracked the
glass bulb, or has lost liquid from the glass bulb. A stock of
spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick replace-
ment of damaged or operated sprinklers.
Failure to properly maintain sprinklers may result in inadvertent
operation or non-operation during a fire event.
