CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The 5.6 K-Factor, StarMax S102 Sprinklers must be main-
tained and serviced in accordance with the following in-
structions:
NOTES
Service inspections should be made on a regular basis to
detect possible damage or alterations to the sprinkler and
escutcheon. Inspections should include making certain
that the Institutional Escutcheon is held fast to the mount-
ing surface. Damaged or altered sprinklers are to be re-
placed immediately to avoid personal injury and to pre-
vent use for causing personal injury, as well as to
maintain the sprinkler system in an operative condition.
Before closing a fire protection system main control valve
for maintenance work on the fire protection system which
it controls, permission to shut down the affected fire pro-
tection systems must be obtained from the proper authori-
ties and all personnel who may be affected by this action
must be notified.
Sprinklers which are found to be leaking or exhibiting vis-
ible signs of corrosion must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be shipped or stored
where their temperatures will exceed 100°F/38°C and
they must never be painted, plated, coated, or otherwise
altered after leaving the factory. Modified or over-heated
sprinklers must be replaced.
Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the sprinklers
- before, during, and after installation. Sprinklers dam-
aged 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).
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 appli-
cable standards of the National Fire Protection Associa-
tion (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to the standards of any
other authorities having jurisdiction. The installing contrac-
tor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted relative
to any questions.
It is recommended that automatic sprinkler systems be in-
spected, tested, and maintained by a qualified Inspection
Service.
