flanges and frame arms is permitted, and the retouching is to
be performed only at the time of the initial sprinkler installation.
The steel rod should be heated only to the point at which it
can begin to melt the wax, and appropriate precautions need
to be taken, when handling the heated rod, in order to prevent
the installer from being burned.
If attempts to retouch the wax coating with complete cover-
age are unsuccessful, additional wax can be ordered in the
form of a wax stick (the end of which is color coded). Only the
correct color coded wax is to be used, and retouching of
wrenching flanges and frame arms is only permitted at the
time of initial sprinkler installation. With the steel rod heated
as previously described, touch the rod to the area requiring
additional wax with the rod angled downward, and then touch
the wax stick to the rod approximately one-half inch away from
the area requiring retouching. The wax will melt and run down
onto the sprinkler.
The
Model LD-2 Recessed Pendent and Sprinklers
must be installed in accordance with the following instruc-
tions.
A. After installing the #2085 Mounting Plate over the sprinkler
threads and with pipe thread sealant applied to the pipe
threads, hand tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.
B. Tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting using only the
W-Type 10 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 3).
With reference to Figure 1, the W-Type 10 Recessed
Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to the sprinkler wrench-
ing flanges.
C. After the ceiling has been installed or the finish coat has
been applied, slide on the #2085 Closure over the
Model LD-2 Sprinkler and push the Closure over the
Mounting Plate until its flange comes in contact with the
ceiling.
