maintenance requirements.
Furthermore, the local
Authority
Having Jurisdiction may have additional
regulations and requirements for
maintenance, testing, and inspection
that must be obeyed.
It is advisable to have sprinkler
systems inspected regularly by a
qualified inspection service. Length of
time between such inspections can vary
due to accessibility, ambient
atmosphere, water supply, and site
activity.
Do not attempt to reassemble or
otherwise reuse a sprinkler that has
operated. Replace any sprinkler
exhibiting corrosion or damage; always
use new sprinklers of the same style,
orifice and temperature rating as
replacements.
Because the discharge pattern is
critical to protection of life and property,
nothing should be hung or attached to
the sprinkler unit that would disrupt the
pattern. Such obstructions must be
removed. In the event that construction
has altered the original configuration,
additional sprinklers may need to be
installed to maintain the protection level.
Do not attempt to replace sprinklers
without first removing the fire protection
system from service. Be certain to
secure permission from all Authorities
Having Jurisdiction, and notify all
personnel who may be affected during
system shutdown. A fire watch during
maintenance periods is a recommended
To remove the system from service
mode, first refer to the system operating
guide and valve instruction. Drain water
and relieve pressure in the pipes.
Remove the existing unit and install the
replacement, using only the special
sprinkler wrench. Be certain to match
model, style, orifice, and temperature
rating.
A fire protection system that has
been shut off after activation should be
returned to service immediately. Inspect
the entire system for damage and
replace or repair as necessary.
Sprinklers that did not operate but were
subjected to corrosive elements of
combustion or excessive temperatures
should be inspected, and replaced if
need be. The
Authority Having
Jurisdiction will detail minimum
replacement requirements and
regulations.
Guarantee: Central Sprinkler
Company will repair and/or replace any
products found to be defective in
material or workmanship within a period
of one year from date of shipment.
