INSTALLATION TIP:
Prior to final installation, temporarily install all components described in the procedure below to verify the correct measurements
have been achieved.
Procedure:
1. Inspect the sprinkler assembly for damage.
2. Install all piping before installing the sprinkler.
3.
Drill a 31/2" hole for the sprinkler.
4. Verify the protective cap is installed and insert the sprinkler into the pre-drilled hole.
5. Lubricate or seal the gaskets on the grroved coupling as necessary.
6. Secure the sprinkler in place with a suitable grooved coupling.
7. Clean the contact surfaces for the insulating boot.
NOTE:
When installing insulating boots, pilot holes are required in metallic ceilings.
8. Carefully pull apart the rubber rings (A) to install onto the barrel.
9. Place the 2 halves of the seal casing (B) on either side of the barrel and hold in place, then install and tighten the screws (C).
NOTICE:
Specific situations and conditions may exist that require alternative sealing methods. A few of these methods
are shown in Figure 3. Additional sealing methods may also be used; however, the material(s) used must not break down,
drip, over-spray, or otherwise interfere with or impede the operation of the sprinkler—especially during fire conditions.
