Maintenance
Model G6-80 Concealed Sprinklers should be inspected
and maintained in accordance with NFPA 25. Do not clean
sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia or any other clean-
ing fluids. Remove dust by using a soft brush or gentle
vacuuming. Replace any sprinkler or cover plate assem-
bly, which has been painted (other than factory applied) or
damaged in any way. A stock of spare sprinkler and cover
plate assemblies should be maintained to allow quick re-
placement of damaged or operated sprinklers. Prior to in-
stallation, sprinklers should be maintained in their original
cartons and packaging until used to minimize the potential
for damage to sprinklers that would cause improper opera-
tion or non-operation.
