Maintenance
The Model F3QR56 Dry Sprinklers should be inspected
and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with
NFPA 25. Do not remove the factory applied thermally sen-
sitive wax fillet between the bulb supporting cup and the
wrenching boss. Do not replace this wax with a substitute
substance.
An Alternate substance may interfere with proper operation
of the sprinkler. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water,
ammonia or any other cleaning fluids. Remove dust by us-
ing a soft brush or gently vacuuming. Replace any sprin-
kler 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 op-
erated 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.
