Step A.
Determine Dim. D, covering
material total thickness (Ref. Figure
14). Subtract Dim. D from Dim. A (Ref.
Figures 5 or 6). Install sprinkler fitting,
locating face at proper distance from
face of framing members using calcu-
lated value.
Note:
Sprinkler fitting centerline must
be perpendicular to escutcheon
mounting surface.
Note:
Adjust rough-in installation tool
depth (Ref. Figure 12) to suit Dim. D.
Note:
Fitting outlet: 1/2 in. NPT proceed
to Step B; ISO 228 G3/8 in. proceed to
Step C.
Step B.
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 E.
Grasping paint cap or wrench,
align sprinkler threads with thread
adapter port and rotate clockwise to
initially engage threads.
Step D.
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 C.
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 F.
Place rough-in installation tool
base flush against framing members,
positioning sprinkler body stop against
sprinkler dust cap (Ref. Figures 1 and
12). Hold tool in place.
Note:
Tool base must be held flush
against framing members for proper
sprinkler installation.

Rough-in Procedure
In rough-in 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 not been installed in advance.
