Care &
Maintenance
Sprinklers must be handled
carefully. They should not be
transported or stored where ambient
temperatures may exceed 100
°
F/
38
°
C. For best results, store them in
a dry, cool location in the original
shipping package.
Do not install sprinklers that have
been dropped or visibly damaged.
Sprinklers should never be painted,
coated, plated or altered in any other
way from manufactured condition or
they may not function properly. Any
sprinklers altered in such manner
must be replaced.
The owner is responsible for the
proper operating condition of all fire
protection devices and accessories.
The NFPA Standard 25 entitled,
“Inspection, Testing and Maintenance
of Water-Based Fire Protection
Systems”, contains guidelines and
minimum maintenance requirements.
Furthermore, the local
Authority
Having Jurisdiction may have
additional regulations and
requirements for maintenance,
testing, and inspection that must be
obeyed.
It is recommended that sprinkler
systems be inspected regularly by a
qualified inspection service. Length
of time between such inspections can
vary due to accessibility, ambient
atmosphere, water supply and site
activity.
Do not attempt to re-assemble or
otherwise reuse a sprinkler that has
operated. Replace any sprinkler
exhibiting corrosion or damage.
Always use new sprinklers of the
same type and temperature rating as
replacements.
Because the discharge pattern is
critical to protection of life and
property, nothing should be hung or
attached to the sprinkler unit that
would disrupt the pattern. Such
obstructions must be removed. In the
event that construction has altered
the original configuration, additional
sprinklers should be installed to
maintain the protection level.
Do not attempt to replace
sprinklers without first removing the
fire protection system from service.
Be certain to secure permission from
all Authorities Having Jurisdiction,
and notify all personnel who may be
affected during system shutdown. A
fire watch during maintenance
periods is a recommended
precaution.
To remove the system from service
mode, first refer to the system
operating guide and valve
instructions. Drain water and relieve
pressure in the pipes. Remove the
existing unit and install the
replacement, using only the special
sprinkler wrench. Be certain to match
model, style, orifice, and temperature
rating.
A fire protection system that has
been shut off after an activation
should be returned to service
immediately. Inspect the entire
system for damage and replace or
repair as necessary. Sprinklers that
did not operate, but were subjected to
corrosive elements of combustion or
excessive temperatures should be
inspected and replaced if needed.
The
Authority Having Jurisdiction will
detail minimum replacement
requirements and regulations.

CAUTION: Do not wrench or turn
the deflector, as this action may
damage the sprinkler and cause it
to leak under pressure.
Special care must be taken when
installing sprinklers with a CPVC
system. Sprinklers must be installed
after the CPVC manufacturer's
recommended setting time for the
primer and cement to ensure that
neither accumulate within the
sprinkler.
Special care must be taken when
installing with a copper system.
Sprinklers must be installed only after
the inside of the sprinkler nipple and
associated fittings have been wire
brushed to remove any flux. Residual
flux can cause corrosion and in
extreme cases can impair proper
sprinkler operation.
