Maintenance
Model SWC Concealed Sprinklers should be inspected
quarterly and the sprinkler 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 cover
plate assembly, 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 their original cartons and packaging until
used to minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers that
would cause improper operation or non-operation.
