DH80 Sprinkler
Products Description
The Model DH80 family of sprinklers are quick response
extended coverage sidewall sprinklers for use in light haz-
ard applications. The Model DH80 with SWC cover plate is
a concealed sprinkler that uses Reliable’s push on/thread off
sidewall cover. This sprinkler has the cup factory mounted
and is shipped with a protective cap that protects the 3mm
frangible glass bulb during shipping and post installation fin-
ishing operations. The DH80 can be combined in the field
with the FP or F2 Escutcheon to make a recessed sprinkler.
The SWC cover plate, FP and F2 recessed escutcheons
have ½” adjustment. The SWC cover plate is attached with
135-degree solder. In the event of a fire the rising ambient
temperature melts the solder and the cover plate is ejected
away by springs exposing the 3mm frangible glass bulb.
The use of a 3mm bulb allows quick response which enables
the sprinkler to apply water to a fire sooner than standard
response sprinkles of the same temperature rating.
Application
The Model DH80 is a horizontal sidewall sprinkler intended
for installation in light hazard occupancies in accordance
with NFPA 13. These sprinklers are designed to provide fire
protection in long and narrow spaces such as hallways, cor-
ridors, decks and rooms up to 28 feet (8,5m) wide and 14
feet (4,3m) long. They are rated for 250 psi (17,2 bar) and
can be mounted between 4 and 12 inches (102 and 305mm)
down from the ceiling.

Installation
DH80 Recessed, FP Escutcheon
To install the DH80 with the FP Escutcheon as a recessed
sprinkler cut a 25/8” diameter hole in the wall as shown in Fig-
ure1. Remove temporarily the plastic protective cap, then
use the GFR1 wrench to tighten the sprinkler until secured in
the sprinkler fitting. NOTE: The GFR1 wrench has a notch in
it to accommodate the deflector top. This wrench can only
be inserted one way. Care must be taken not to damage the
deflector during tightening. Apply a Teflon* based sealant
to the sprinkler threads before installing in the fitting. When
inserting or removing the wrench from the sprinkler cup, care
must be taken to prevent damage to the sprinkler. Wrench
only on the square boss. DO NOT WRENCH ON ANY OTH-
ER PART OF THE SPRINKLER. It is recommended that the
sprinkler be protected during plastering and painting opera-
tions by reinstalling the protective cap P/N 6802710003. In-
stallation is completed by removing the protective cap and
inserting the push-on escutcheon. Turn clockwise to adjust
the escutcheon against the wall.
DH80 Recessed, F2 Escutcheon
To install the DH80 with the F2 Escutcheon as a recessed
sprinkler cut a 2¼” diameter hole in the wall as shown in
Figure 2. Thread the DH80 into the collar hand tight. Apply
a Teflon* based sealant to the sprinkler threads and install
in the fitting. Wrench only on the square boss. NOTE: The
GFR1 wrench has a notch in it to accommodate the deflec-
tor top. This wrench can only be inserted one way. When
inserting or removing the wrench from the sprinkler cup care
must be taken to prevent damage to the sprinkler. DO NOT
WRENCH ON ANY OTHER PART OF THE SPRINKLER. It is
recommended that the sprinkler be protected during plaster-
ing and painting operations by using the protective cap P/N
6999991009. These must be ordered separately. Installation
is completed by removing the protective cap and inserting
the F2 Escutcheon over the collar.
DH80 with SWC Cover Plate Concealed
To install the sprinkler, cut a 25/8” diameter hole into the
wall as shown in Figure1. A Teflon* based thread sealant
should be applied to the sprinkler threads only. Remove
the protective cap (P/N 6802710003) and then position
the GFR1 wrench into the sprinkler/cup assembly until the
wrench engages the flats of the square boss. Then tighten
the sprinkler into the pipe fitting. When inserting or removing
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 protective
caps should be reinstalled for protection during plastering
and painting. Remove caps only when covers are being in-
stalled. The cover assembly is then pushed onto the cup.
Cover assemblies provide ½” (13mm) of adjustment. Final
adjustment is made by turning the cover clockwise until the
skirt flange makes full contact with the wall surface. Cover
removal requires turning in the counter- clockwise direction.
Concealed cover/cup assemblies are listed only for use
with specific sprinklers. The use of any other concealed
cover/cup assembly with the Model DH80 Horizontal Side-
wall Sprinkler or the use of the concealed cover assembly on
any sprinkler with which it is not specifically listed will void all
guarantees, warranties, listings and approvals.
Note: DH80 and DH80 Recessed Sprinklers have orange
bulb protectors to minimize bulb damage during shipping,
handling, and installation. REMOVE THIS PROTECTION AT
THE TIME THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM IS PLACED IN SER-
VICE FOR FIRE PROTECTION. Removal of the protectors
before this time may leave the bulb vulnerable to damage.
RASCO wrenches are designed to install sprinklers when
covers are in place. REMOVE PROTECTORS BY UNDOING
THE CLASP BY HAND. DO NOT USE TOOLS TO REMOVE
THE PROTECTORS.

Maintenance
Model DH80 should be inspected and the sprinkler main-
tained in accordance with NFPA 25. Do not clean sprinklers
with soap and water, ammonia or any other cleaning fluids.
Remove dust by using a soft brush or gentle vacuuming. Re-
move any sprinkler/cover assembly, which has been painted
(other than factory applied) or damaged in any way. A stock
of spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick re-
placement of damaged or operated sprinklers. Prior to in-
stallation, sprinklers should be maintained in their original
cartons and packaging until used to minimize the potential
for damage to sprinklers that would cause improper opera-
tion or non-operation.
