Step 1.
Cut clearance hole through
covering material (Ref. Figure 2, Dim.
C).
Note:
Location of hole centerline deter-
mined by design location of sprinkler.
Step 2.
Install sprinkler fitting with
face located at proper distance from
escutcheon mounting surface (Ref.
Figures 5 or 6, Dim. A).
Note:
Sprinkler fitting centerline must
be perpendicular to escutcheon
mounting surface.
Note:
Fitting outlet: 1/2 in. NPT proceed
to Step 3; ISO 228 G3/8 in. proceed to
Step 4.
Step 5.
Engage sprinkler wrench-
ing notches by paint cap or wrench
prongs (Ref. Figures 1, 7 and 8). Apply
sealant to sprinkler inlet threads (steel
pipe system installations Ref. Figure 9;
CPVC pipe system installations Ref.
Figure 10).
NOTICE
Assure sealant avoids contact with
internal waterway of sprinkler. Failure to
do so may result in equipment failure.
Step 4.
Remove shipping cap from
sprinkler by pulling away from body
along sprinkler centerline.
NOTICE
Sprinkler with shipping cap attached to
remain in original packaging until ready
for installation. To avoid damage to link
assembly, do not pull cap away from
sprinkler at an angle.
Step 3.
Apply TEFLON tape sealant to
external threads of thread adapter and
install into sprinkler fitting.
A leak-tight 1/2 in. NPT thread adapter
joint should be obtained by applying a
minimum-to-maximum torque of 7 to
14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N·m).
NOTICE
Higher levels of torque will distort the
thread adapter and cause leakage or
impairment of the sprinkler.
Step 6.
Grasping paint cap or wrench,
align sprinkler inlet threads with outlet
of thread adapter or CPVC sprinkler
adapter fitting and rotate clockwise to
initially engage threads.

Finished Surface Procedure
In finished surface construction, TYCO Raven Studio 5.6 K-factor Pendent and
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with this section.
This procedure describes sprinkler installation in construction where ceiling or wall
covering material — drywall, plywood, etc. — has been installed in advance.
