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/
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 Central Model LF must only be
replaced with pendent sprinklers which
are listed for residential fire protection
service and which have the same
nominal K-factor, the same coverage
area, and the same or lower flow ratings
(as indicated under "Design Criteria").
When remodeling, such as by adding
false beams or light fixtures or changing
the location of compartment walls, first
verify that the new construction will not
violate the installation requirements
stated under WARNINGS. Alter the new
construction and/or the sprinkler system
to suit the requirements of this docu-
ment.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of

(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

The Central Model LF must be main-
tained and serviced in accordance with
the following instructions:
NOTES
Wet pipe sprinkler systems must be
maintained at a minimum tempera-
ture of 40
°
F/4
°
C to prevent freezing
and bursting of the pipe and/or
sprinklers.
Automatic sprinklers are not to be
tested with a heat source. Operation
of the heat responsive element (bulb)
can result.
Absence of an Escutcheon Plate may
delay the time to sprinkler operation
in a fire situation.
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 protection system must be
obtained from the proper authorities
and all personnel who may be
affected by this action must be
notified.
Do NOT enclose sprinklers within
drapes, curtains, or valances.
Do NOT hang anything from the
sprinklers.
Do NOT cleanse the sprinklers with
soap and water, detergents, ammo-
nia, cleaning fluids, or other chemi-
cals. Remove dust, lint, cobwebs,
cocoons, insects, and larvae by
gently brushing with a feather duster
or gently vacuuming with a soft
bristle (i.e., dusting) brush attach-
ment.
Exercise suitable safety precautions
in the use and storage of highly
flammable materials. The rapid rate
of fire development and spread of
which can be caused by such
materials can reduce the ability of
the sprinkler system to aid in the
control of a fire in which they are
involved.
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 its temperature
will exceed 100
°
F/38
°
C and they must
never be painted, plated, coated, or
otherwise altered after leaving the
factory. Modified sprinklers must be
replaced. Sprinklers that have been
exposed to corrosive products of
combustion, but have not operated,
should be completely cleaned by wiping
