The Model ELO-231
BV Upright &
Pendent Sprinklers
must be main-
tained and serviced in accordance with
the following instructions.
NOTES
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system it
controls, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection systems must be
obtained from the proper authorities.
All personnel who may be affected by
this action must be notified.
Sprinklers which are found to be
leaking or exhibiting visible signs of
corrosion must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
shipped or stored where their tempera-
tures will exceed 100
°
F/38
°
C and they
must never be painted, plated, coated
or otherwise altered after leaving the
factory. Modified sprinklers must be
replaced. Sprinklers that have been
exposed to corrosive products of
combustion, but have not operated,
should be replaced if they cannot be
completely cleaned by wiping the
sprinkler with a cloth or by brushing it
with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid
damage - before, during, and after
installation. Sprinklers damaged by
dropping, striking, wrench twist/
slippage, or the like, must be replaced.
Also, replace any sprinkler that has a
cracked bulb or that has lost liquid from
its bulb (Ref. Installation Section).
Frequent visual inspections are
recommended to be initially performed
for wax, lead, and/or polyester coated
sprinklers, after the installation has
been completed, to verify the integrity
of the wax, lead, and/or polyester
coating. Thereafter, annual inspections
per NFPA 25 should suffice; however,
instead of inspecting from the floor
level, a random sampling of close-up
visual inspections should be made, so
as to better determine the exact
sprinkler condition and the long term
integrity of the wax, lead, and/or
polyester coating, as it may be affected
by the corrosive conditions present.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and devices
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards of
the National Fire Protection Association
(e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to the
standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. The installing
contractor or sprinkler manufacturer
should be contacted relative to any
questions.
