Maintenance

Model RFC series sprinklers should be inspected and the sprin-
kler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25. Do not clean 
sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia or any other cleaning 
fluids. Remove dust by gentle vacuuming. Replace any sprinkler 
cover plate assembly which has been painted (other than facto-
ry 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.
