INSTALLATION

Step 1. 

Install pendent sprinklers in the pendent 

position, with the centerline of the sprinkler 

perpendicular to the mounting surface.

Step 2. 

Remove the Protective Cap.

Step 3. 

With pipe-thread sealant applied to the pipe 

threads, and using the Concealed Sprinkler 

Wrench P/N 325391 or P/N 325401 (FIGURE 

2), install and tighten the Sprinkler/Concealed 

Cup Assembly into the fitting.

Step 4. 

Replace the Protective Cap by pushing it 

upwards until it bottoms out against the Sup-

port Cup. The Protective Cap helps prevent 

damage to the Deflector and Drop Pins during 

ceiling installation and/or during application of 

the finish coating of the ceiling.

 

NOTICE: 

The system is considered Out of Service when 

the protective caps are in place.

Step 5. 

After the ceiling has been completed with the 

2-1/2” (63.2mm) diameter hole, remove and 

discard the Protective Cap and verify that the 

Deflector has not been damaged. If the sprin

-

kler has been damaged , replace the entire 

sprinkler assembly. Do not attempt to modify 

or repair.

Step 6. 

Thread on the Cover Plate Assembly until its 

flange contacts the ceiling. Never attempt to 

screw on the Cover Plate Assembly such that 

it lifts a ceiling panel out of its normal posi-

tion. If the Cover Plate Assembly cannot be 

engaged with the Mounting Cup or the Cover 

Plate Assembly cannot be engaged sufficient

-

ly to contact the ceiling, the Sprinkler Fitting 

must be repositioned.

NOTICE

Do not install any bulb-type sprinkler if the bulb is cracked or 

there is loss of liquid from the bulb. Sprinklers should be tightened 

enough to obtain a leak-tight joint when water pressure is applied 

and/or hydrostatic test is performed. Sprinklers should not be 

overtightened as this can result in distortion and subsequent leak-

age. It is recommended not to exceed 14 ft.-lb. (19.0 Nm) torque 

for 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler threads; 20 ft.-lb. (26.8 Nm) to 3/4 inch 

NPT threads.
