Ordering Information: When placing
an order, indicate the full product name.
Please specify the quantity, model, style,
orifice size, temperature rating, sprinkler
finish, cover plate finish, and sprinkler
wrench.
For special painted cover plate finishes,
the customer must supply a quick-drying
paint, preferably in a lacquer-base finish
to insure proper color duplication. Without
such a guide, Central Sprinkler Company
cannot be responsible for acceptable
color matching. All custom painting of the
cover plate must be completed at the
factory.

Information
Care &
Maintenance
Sprinklers must be handled carefully.
They must not be transported or stored
where ambient temperature may exceed
100
°
F/38
°
C. For best results, store them
in a dry, cool location in the original
shipping package.
Do not install sprinklers that have been
dropped or visibly damaged. Sprinklers
must never be painted, coated, plated or
altered in any other way from manufac-
tured condition or they may not function
properly. Any sprinklers altered in such
manner must be replaced.
The owner is responsible for the proper
operating condition of all fire protection
devices and accessories. The NFPA
standard 25 entitled,
“Inspection, Testing
and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire
Protection Systems” contains guidelines
and minimum maintenance requirements.
Furthermore, the local
Authority Having
Jurisdiction may have additional regula-
tions and requirements for maintenance,
testing, and inspection that must be
obeyed.
It is advisable to have sprinkler systems
inspected regularly by a qualified inspec-
tion service. Length of time between
such inspections can vary due to accessi-
bility, ambient atmosphere, water supply,
and site activity.
Do not attempt to reassemble or
otherwise reuse a sprinkler that has
operated. Replace any sprinkler exhibit-
ing corrosion or damage; always use new
sprinklers of the same orifice, style, 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 should 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 precaution.
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 recom-
mended sprinkler wrench. Be certain to
match model, style, orifice, and tempera-
ture rating.
A fire protection system that has been
shut off after an activation should be
repaired and returned to service immedi-
ately. Inspect the entire system for
damage and replace or repair as neces-
sary. 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 Com-
pany will repair and/or replace any
products found to be defective in material
or workmanship within a period of one
year from the date of shipment. Please
refer to the current Price List for further
details of the warranty.
