The Model ELO-231, ELO-231 BV &
ELO-231 BVQR Intermediate Level
Sprinklers
must be maintained and
serviced in accordance with the
following instructions.
NOTES
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system it
controls, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection systems must be
obtained from the proper authorities. All
personnel who may be affected by this
action must be notified.
Sprinklers which are found to be leaking
or exhibiting 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 or overheated solder
type sprinklers must be replaced. Glass
bulb sprinklers that have been exposed
to corrosive products of combustion, but
have not operated, 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).
Frequent visual inspections are
recommended to be initially performed
for wax, lead, and/or polyester coated
sprinklers, after the installation has
been completed, to verify the integrity of
the wax and/or lead coating. Thereafter,
annual inspections per NFPA 25 should
suffice; however, instead of inspecting
from the floor level, a random sampling
of close-up visual inspections should be
made, so as to better determine the
exact sprinkler condition and the long
term integrity of the wax, lead, and/or
polyester coating, as it may be affected
by the corrosive conditions present.
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.
