WRENCH DESCRIPTION
The Sprinkler Wrench is a tool specically designed for
installingSHIELDSprinklers.Thesespecialwrenchesmust
be used to provide the proper leverage when tightening
thesprinklerandtominimizeslippageduringinstallation.
Anyotherwrenchmaydamagethesprinkler.
INSTALLATION
All SHIELD Sprinklers must be installed according to
NFPA13 Standards.Deviationsfromthese requirements
and standards or any alteration to the sprinkler itself will
void any warranty made by manufacturer. In addition,
installation must also meet local government provisions,
codesandstandardsasapplicable.
The system piping must be properly sized to insure the
minimumrequiredowrateatthesprinkler.Checkforthe
proper model, style, orice size and temperature rating
priortoinstallation.Installsprinklersafterthepipingisin
place to avoid mechanical damage, replace any damaged
units.Wetpipesystemsmustbeprotectedfromfreezing.
Upon completion of the installation, the system must be
testedperrecognizedstandards.Intheeventofathread
task, remove the unit, apply new pipe joint compound or
tape,andreinstall.
ADDITIONAL
Recessed Sprinkler - To install the escutcheon plate,
align with it and push or thread over the sprinkler body
into the upper support piece, until the outer edge of the
escutcheonmeetsthemountingsurface.
INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Step1-Theunitmustbeinstalledintheuprightpositionfor
the Upright Sprinklers, and in the Pendent position for the
PendentSprinkler,PendentRecessedSprinkler.
Step 2 - Use only a non-hardening pipe joint compound or
tapeseal.Applyonlytothemalethreads.
Step3-Handtightenthesprinklerintotting.
Step 4 - For Upright and Pendent Sprinklers, use a
standardwrench.Tightentheunitintothetting.Alead-tight
jointrequiresonly7to14ft.lbs(9.5to19.0Nm)oftorque.A
tangentialforceof14to28ft.lbs(62.3to124.5N)delivered
througha 6”(150mm) handle will deliver adequate torque.
Once torque level reach over 21ft.lbs (28.6Nm) it may
distort the orice seal, resulting in leakage. For exposed
piping systems, the sprinkler should be oriented so the
framearmsareparallelwiththebranchlinepipe.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten or under-tighten the sprinkler to
compensateforinaccurateescutcheonplateadjustment.
Protection clips are used to protect its bulb. Please have
cliponatalltimesduringtransportation.
MAINTENANCE
Sprinklers must never be altered after manufacture. Any
alteration such as painting and coating will directly harm
thesprinklerandcausemalfunctions.
Sprinkler in contact with corrosive products should be
replacediftheycannotbecleanedcompletely.
Visual inspections are recommended after installation.
After installation, a close-up inspection annually will
sufce.
Inspection and maintenance of re protection system is
the responsibility of the owner. It is recommended that
automatic sprinkler system be inspected and tested
accordingtolocaland/ornationalregulations.

SPRINKLER OPERATION
Theoperatingmechanismisafrangibleglassbulbwhichcontains
a heat responsive liquid. During a re, the ambient temperature
risescausingtheliquidinthebulbtoexpand.Whentheambient

WARNINGS
TheSHIELD Sprinklers mustbe installed andmaintained
incompliancewiththisdocument.Depressurizeanddrain
the piping system before attempting to install, remove,
oradjustanySprinklers.Failuretodosomayimpairthe
performanceofthesesprinklers.Theownerisresponsible
for maintaining the re protection system and devices in
operation.
WRENCH DESCRIPTION
The Sprinkler Wrench is a tool specically designed for
installingSHIELDSprinklers.Thesespecialwrenchesmust
be used to provide the proper leverage when tightening the
sprinklerandtominimizeslippageduringinstallation.Any
otherwrenchmaydamagethesprinkler.
INSTALLATION
All SHIELD Sprinklers must be installed according to
NFPA 13 Standards. Deviations from these requirements
and standards or any alteration to the sprinkler itself will
void any warranty made by manufacturer. In addition,
installation must also meet local government provisions,
codesandstandardsasapplicable.
The system piping must be properly sized to insure the
minimumrequiredowrateatthesprinkler.Checkforthe
proper model, style, orice size and temperature rating
prior to installation. Install sprinklers afterthe piping isin
place to avoid mechanical damage, replace any damaged
units.Wetpipesystemsmustbeprotectedfromfreezing.
Upon completion of the installation, the system must be
testedperrecognizedstandards.Intheeventofathread
task, remove the unit, apply new pipe joint compound or
tape,andreinstall.
ADDITIONAL
Cover Plate - To install the conceal cover plate, align it
with the sprinkler and slowly turn clockwise for the cover
platesandsprinklertolockin.Makesurethecoverplateis
securely locked in, fail to do so may cause the sprinkler to
malfunction.
INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Step1.TheunitmustbeinstalledinthePendentposition
fortheConcealedSprinkler.
Step2.Useonlyanon-hardeningpipejointcompoundor
tapeseal.Applyonlytothemale
threads.
Step3.Handtightenthesprinklerintotting.
Step4.ForConcealedSprinklers,useastandardwrench.
Tightentheunit intothetting.Alead-tightjointrequires
only 7to 14ft.-lbs(9.5 to19.0Nm) oftorque. A tangential
force of 14 to 28ft.-lbs(62.3 to124.5N) delivered through
a 6”(150mm) handle will deliver adequate torque. Once
torque level reach over 21ft.-lbs(28.6Nm) it may distort
the orice seal, resulting in leakage. For exposed piping
systems, the sprinkler should be oriented so the frame
armsareparallelwiththebranchlinepipe.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten or under-tighten the sprinkler to
compensateforinaccurateescutcheonplateadjustment.
Protectioncapsareusedtoprotectitsbulbanddeector.
Please have cap on at all times during transportation and
interiordecorating.
MAINTENANCE
Sprinklers must never be altered after manufacture. Any
alteration such as painting and coating will directly harm
thesprinklerandcausemalfunctions.Sprinklerincontact
with corrosive products should be replaced if they cannot
becleanedcompletely.
Visual inspections are recommended after installation.
After installation, a close-up inspection annually will
sufce.
Inspection and maintenance of re protection system is
the responsibility of the owner. It is recommended that
automatic sprinkler system be inspected and tested
accordingtolocaland/ornationalregulations.

DESCRIPTION
The SHIELD Sprinkler, SD1020, SD1021 (Glass Bulb Type) 3/8”
StandardOrice,Upright,PendentandRecessedPendent,Quick
Response, design incorporates state-of-the-art, heat responsive,
frangibleglassbulbdesignforprompt,preciseoperation.Thedie
cast frame is more streamlined and attractive than traditional sand
castframes.
Itiscastwithahex-shapedwrenchbosstoalloweasytightening
from many angles, reducing assembly effort. This sprinkler is
availableinvarioustemperatureratingsandnishestomeetmany
design requirements. The recessed pendent should be utilized
with a recessed escutcheon which provides up
”
ofadjustments.
All sprinklers are manufactured using the time proven Belleville
sealusedexclusivelybyallmajormanufacturestoensurelonglife
andsafeoperation.
SPRINKLER OPERATION
Theoperatingmechanismisafrangibleglassbulbwhichcontains
a heat responsive liquid. During a re, the ambient temperature
risescausingtheliquidinthebulbtoexpand.
When the ambient temperature reaches the rated temperature
of the sprinkler, the bulb shatters. As a result, the waterway is
cleared of all sealing parts and water is discharged towards the
deector. The deector is designed to distribute the water in a
patternthatismosteffectiveincontrollingthere.
MAXIMUM COVERAGE
Standardspraycoverageisupto:LightHazard=225
