Installation
The Model K11 ECLH Sprinklers
must be installed in accordance with
the following instructions:
NOTES
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler
if the bulb is cracked or there is a
loss of liquid from the bulb. With the
sprinkler held horizontally, a small
air bubble should be present. The di-
ameter of the air bubble is approxi-
mately 1/16 inch (1,6 mm) for the
135°F/57°C to 200°F/93°C tempera-
ture ratings.
A leak tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained with a
torque of 10 to 20 ft.lbs. (13,4 to
26,8 Nm). A maximum of 30 ft.lbs.
(40,7 Nm) of torque is to be used to
install sprinklers. Higher levels of
torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
with consequent leakage or impair-
ment of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for in-
sufficient adjustment in an Escutch-
eon Plate by under- or over-tighten-
ing the Sprinkler. Readjust the
position of the sprinkler fitting to suit.
Step 1.
Model K11 ECLH Sprinklers
must be installed in the pendent posi-
tion and with the deflector parallel to
the mounting surface.
Step 2.
After installing the Series
4221 mounting plate (or other es-
cutcheon, as applicable) over the
sprinkler pipe threads and with pipe
thread sealant applied to the pipe
threads, hand tighten the sprinkler
into the sprinkler fitting.
Step 3.
Wrench tighten pendent
sprinklers using only the W-Type 3
(End B) Sprinkler Wrench. Wrench
tighten the recessed pendent sprin-
klers using only the W-Type 5 Sprin-
kler Wrench. The wrench recess of
the applicable sprinkler wrench
(Ref. Figure 3 and 4) is to be applied
to the sprinkler wrench flats (Ref. Fig-
ure 1).
Care &
Maintenance
The Model K11 ECLH Sprinklers
must be maintained and serviced in
accordance with the following instruc-
tions:
NOTES
Absence of an escutcheon, which is
used to cover a clearance hole, may
delay the time to operation in a fire
situation.
Before closing a fire protection sys-
tem main control valve for mainte-
nance work on the fire protection sys-
tem which it controls, permission to
shut down the affected fire protec-
tion systems must be obtained from
the proper authorities and all person-
nel who may be affected by this ac-
tion 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 tem-
perature will exceed 100°F/38°C and
they must never be painted, plated,
coated, or otherwise altered after
leaving the factory. Modified sprin-
klers must be replaced. Sprinklers
that have been exposed to corrosive
products of combustion, but have not
operated, should 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/slip-
page, 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 Sec-
tion).
The owner is responsible for the in-
spection, testing, and maintenance
of their fire protection system and de-
vices in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion 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.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected,
tested, and maintained by a qualified
Inspection Service.
