WARNING
DO NOT USE RUBBER OR CLOTH
GLOVES. RUBBER GLOVES WILL
BOND WHEN BROUGHT IN CONTACT
WITH THE ADHESIVE AND POROUS
COTTON GLOVES WILL ABSORB THE
ADHESIVE AND BOND THE GLOVES
TO THE SKIN.
Step 1.
Prepare the clearance hole per
the applicable TFP Dry Sprinkler Tech-
nical Data Sheet.
Step 2.
Insert the dry sprinkler through
the clearance hole and slide the Boot
over threaded inlet of the dry sprinkler.
NOTE: When installing on Series DS-2
Dry Sprinklers, the Boot will require
stretching. The use of a grooved cou-
pling gasket lubricant will ease installa-
tion. Use only a petroleum free silicone
grooved coupling gasket lubricant to
avoid freezing of the Dry Sprinkler Boot
to the Dry Sprinkler.
NOTE: When sliding the Boot over the
length of the Dry Sprinkler, sliding is
easily accomplished by slightly squeez-
ing the Boot around the cone area.
Step 3.
Thread the dry sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting per the applicable
TFP Dry Sprinkler technical data sheet.
NOTE: Refer to the sprinkler technical
data sheet for tightening torque spec-
ifications. The use of higher levels of
torque then specified may distort the
sprinkler inlet with consequent leakage
or impairment of the sprinkler.
Step 4.
Clean the contact surfaces of
the Boot and the building (ceiling or
wall) structure with a damp cloth. Moist
surfaces will aid in a quick adhesion.
NOTE: Use only a cloth that has been
dampened with water. The use of other
cleaning techniques, solvents, etc.
may render the adhesive incapable of
sealing.
Step 5
. Apply the provided Adhesive
to the building structure in a zig-zag
pattern.
Refer to Warning regarding
the adhesive.
Step 6.
Slide the Boot so that it comes
in contact with the building structure,
and then press the Boot firmly against
the building structure to help ensure
that the Adhesive is fully applied to
both surfaces.
NOTE: When sliding the Boot over the
length of the Dry Sprinkler, sliding is
easily accomplished by slightly squeez-
ing the Boot around the cone area.
Step 7.
Wait two minutes to allow the
Adhesive to sufficiently cure and then
apply the two Strap Ties. The Strap
Ties are to be applied to the straight
section of the Boot as shown in Figure
1 and so that the ends are on opposing
sides of the Boot.
NOTE: The ties are to be pulled suf-
ficiently tight to the point that there is
no gap between Dry Sprinkler Boot
and the Dry Sprinkler. When properly
installed a paper clip or wire of similar
dimension cannot be slipped between
the Dry Sprinkler Boot and the Dry
Sprinkler.
