Installation
The TYCO 16.8 K-factor, Ultra K17,
Standard Response, Upright Control
Mode Specific Application Sprinkler
must be installed in accordance with
this section.
General Instructions
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler
if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin-
kler held horizontal, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 in.
(1,6 mm).
A leak-tight 3/4 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a min-
imum-to-maximum torque of 7 to 14
lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N
∙
m). Higher levels of
torque can distort the sprinkler Inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Step 1.

applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the Ultra K17 Sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting.
Step 2.
Using the W-Type 8 Sprinkler
Wrench (Ref. Figure 2) applied to the

tighten the Ultra K17 Sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting.
