Maintenance
The Models F1S5-56, F1S5 LO, F1S5-56 Recessed and
F1S5 LO Recessed Sprinklers should be inspected quarterly
and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with
NFPA 25. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water,
ammonia or any other cleaning fluid. Remove any sprinkler
which has been painted (other than factory applied) or
damaged in any way. A stock of spare sprinklers should
be maintained to allow quick replacement of damaged or
operated sprinklers. Prior to installation, sprinklers should be
maintained in the original cartons and packaging until used
to minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers that would
cause improper operation or non-operation.
