MODEL: SD1010, SD1015, SD1030, SD1032
DESCRIPTION
The SHIELD Sprinklers, SD1010, SD1015, SD1030, SD1032
(Glass Bulb Type), Standard Orice, Upright, Pendent and
Recessed Pendent type, design incorporates state-of-the-art,
heat responsive, frangible glass bulb design (standard or quick
response) 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 square
feet(20.9 sq.m); Ordinary Hazard = 130 square feet(12.1 sq.m) per
NFPA 13.

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
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.
