INSTALLER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General
1.
Read and understand all instructions before proceed-
ing with the installation, maintenance, and testing of this
Victaulic fire protection device.
2.
Use only recommended accessories.
Use of improper
accessories or equipment could result in improper system oper-
ation.
3.
Avoid dangerous environments.
If using electrically
powered tools for installation, make sure the area is moisture-
free. Keep work areas well lit. Allow enough space for installing
the device, trim, and accessories safely and efficiently.
4.
Prevent back injury.
Larger and pre-trimmed valves are
heavier and may require more than one person or mechanical
lifting equipment to position and install the assembly properly.
Always practice proper lifting techniques.
5.
Inspect the shipment.
Make sure all components are in-
cluded with the shipment and that all necessary tools are avail-
able for proper installation.

Wear safety glasses, hardhat, foot protection, and
hearing protection.
Protect your hearing if you are exposed to
long periods of very noisy job-site operations.
7.
Watch for pinch points.
Do not put fingers under the
valve body where they could be pinched by the weight of the
valve. Use caution around spring-loaded components (i.e. clap-
per and clapper latch assembly).
8.
Keep work areas clean.
Cluttered areas, benches, and
slippery floors can create hazardous working conditions.
9.
Keep visitors away.
Keep all visitors a safe distance
away from work areas.

ardous conditions.

ing and inspection schedules.
