pipe, directly over two end
ribs of fitting.
RF PEX TM Connection:
Cut RF PEX TM tubing to desired length. Make sure that tubing is cut squarely,
and all burrs are removed. Slide correctly sized crimp ring over end of tub-
ing. Remove protective caps from barbed connections on the pendent fitting
and slide tubing over the connection until the tubing touches the shoulder of
the fitting. Slide crimp ring over the tubing fitting connection until it is 1 /
8
" to
¼" from the end of tubing. The crimp ring should be positioned directly over
the two ribs closest to the end of the fitting.
Position crimp tool at a 90° angle to the pipe so that the jaws completely
cover the crimp ring. Compress the jaws completely. Check connection with
Go/No-Go gauge. If the connection does not gauge correctly, cut out the
joint, recalibrate the tool, and start again.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH PROPER INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
MULTIPUPOSE PIPING SYSTEM, INCLUDING, THE FIRE
SUPPRESSION SYSTEM WHICH CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
The Guide and these instructions do not address design and installa-
tion requirements for any system, nor do they address hydraulic calcu-
lations, sprinkler selection, installation and/or performance. YOU ARE
REQUIRED TO CONSULT WITH A CERTIFIED FIRE PROTECTION
DESIGN PROFESSIONAL, LICENSED RESIDENTIAL FIRE
SUPPRESSION SYSTEM INSTALLER AND THE AUTHORITY HAVING
JURISDICTION WHEN INSTALLING A MULTIPURPOSE SYSTEM.
• Watts does not provide design or installation services or instructions
and shall not be held responsible for system design or installation
errors.
• This product is intended to work with residential multipurpose fire
suppression sprinklers with NFPA 13D systems rating at a maximum
of 130psi (896 kPa) at 120°F (48.9°C) when used in a multipurpose
system. The type of sprinkler for any system shall be limited to that
specified and approved by the authority having jurisdiction for the
given installation. DO NOT use this product for systems required
to meet NFPA 13, 13R or 13D stand-alone systems.
• WATTS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INADEQUATE WATER
PRESSURE OR WATER SUPPLY. Refer to a certified fire protection
design professional to ensure the proper water pressure and supply
is available for the application.
WARNING !
• In a multipurpose system, where the residential fire PEX tubing (RF PEX TM
tubing) serves both fire sprinklers and domestic use, devices that restrict the
water flow or decrease the pressure or automatically shut off the water to the
fire suppression system, such as water softeners, filtration systems, and auto-
matic shutoff valves, shall not be added without a review of the fire suppres-
sion system by a fire protection specialist. Additionally, appropriate signage
is required for the end user. Refer to NFPA 13D for further information.
• DO NOT use any damaged products. Before assembling any components,
inspect all products for manufacturing defects, cuts, scrapes, gauges, splits
or any other irregularities that occur during shipping and handling.
• In order to ensure proper operation of the multipurpose system, the product
must be used with Watts UL 1821 listed RF PEX TM tubing, residential fire PEX
fittings (RF fittings), residential fire PEX sprinkler fittings (RF PEX TM Series FPSF
sprinkler fittings) and CrimpRing™ connections and require protection by any
of the following: 1) 3/8" thick or thicker gypsum wallboard 2) A suspended
membrane ceiling with lay-in panels or tiles having a weight of not less than
0.35 lb/ft2 when installed with metallic support grids 3) ½" plywood
or plywood soffits.
• DO NOT use air or compressed gas for pressure testing. The use of air or
compressed gas can cause system failure and/or product damage, property
damage, personal injury and/or death.
• These products are designed for use in environments with ambient tempera-
ture ranges between 40°F and 120°F. DO NOT allow the multipurpose system
to freeze. Freezing temperatures can damage component parts causing water
damage and/or damage to the fire suppression system which can result in
property damage, personal injury and/or death.
• In order to prevent damage to the Watts components, avoid over torqueing
when installing the sprinkler into the multipurpose system. Refer to the
sprinkler manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation requirements.
• Periodic Maintenance is required pursuant to the Guide, NFPA 13D and local
and national codes.
