The ELO-16 GB FR Dry Pendent
Sprinklers
must be maintained and
serviced in accordance with the
following instructions.
NOTES
Absence of the outer piece of an
escutcheon, which is used to cover a
clearance hole, may delay the time to
sprinkler operation in a fire situation.
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system which
it controls, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection systems must be
obtained from the proper authorities and
all personnel who may be affected by
this action must be notified.
It is recommended that the piping
connected to Dry Sprinklers be periodi-
cally checked to assure that proper
pitch and drainage is in accordance with
the minimum requirements of the
National Fire Protection Association if
the piping is subject to freezing tem-
peratures.
A Vent Hole is provided in the Bulb Seat
(Ref. Figure 4) to indicate if the Dry
Sprinkler is remaining dry. Evidence of
leakage from the Vent Hole is an
indication that there may be weepage
past the O-ring seal and, therefore, it is
an indication that the sprinkler needs to
be removed for determining the cause
of leakage (e.g. an improper installation
or an ice plug). The fire protection
system control valve must be closed
and the system drained before remov-
ing the sprinkler.
Sprinklers which are found to be leaking
or exibiting visible signs of corrosion
must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
shipped or stored where their tempera-
tures will exceed 100°F/38°C and they
must never be painted, plated, coated
or otherwise altered after leaving the
factory. Modified sprinklers must be
replaced. Sprinklers that have been
exposed to corrosive products of
combustion, but have not operated,
Care &
Maintenance
should be replaced if they cannot be
completely cleaned by wiping the
sprinkler with a cloth or by brushing it
with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid
damage - before, during, and after
installation. Sprinklers damaged by
dropping, striking, wrench twist/
slippage, or the like, must be replaced.
Also, replace any sprinkler that has a
cracked bulb or that has lost liquid from
its bulb (ref. Installation Section).
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and devices
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards of
the National Fire Protection Association
(e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to the
standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. The installing
contractor or sprinkler manufacturer
should be contacted relative to any
questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspection
Service.
