” inch (67mm) diameter hole in the ceiling,
the sprinkler is easily installed with the Model FC
Wrench. The wrench has a socket drive which is in-
serted into the body of the sprinkler. When installing
a sprinkler the wrench is first positioned into the sprin-
kler/cup assembly until the wrench socket engages
the body of the sprinkler. The sprinkler is then tight-
ened into the pipe fitting. When inserting or remov-
ing the wrench from the sprinkler/cup assembly, care
should be taken to prevent damage to the sprinkler.
DO NOT WRENCH ON ANY OTHER PART OF THE
SPRINKLER/CUP ASSEMBLY. Install the cover plate
by hand turning the cover in the clockwise direction
until it is tight against the ceiling.
A protective cap is provided to protect the drop-down
sprinkler deflector from damage which could occur dur-
ing construction before the cover plate is installed. The
cap is factory installed inside the sprinkler cup. Remove
cap to install sprinkler, then re-install cap until the cover
plate is installed.
Maintenance
The Model G5-56 300 Concealer
®
should be inspected
and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with
NFPA 25. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water,
ammonia or any other cleaning fluids. Remove dust by
using a soft brush or gentle vacuuming. Remove any
sprinkler that has been painted (other than factory ap-
plied) or damaged in any way. A stock of spare sprin-
klers 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 opera-
tion or non-operation.
