nection (Ref. Figure A) are very extra
high and ultra high temperature rated

well as applicable standards of the
National Fire Protection Association,
in addition to the standards of any
other authorities having jurisdiction.

taining their fire protection system

and Upright Sprinklers with 3/4 inch
NPT connection are rated for use at a
maximum service pressure of 175 psi
(12,1 bar) and they are available in the
temperature ratings and finishes indi-
catedinTableA.
The flow “Q” in GPM (LPM) as deter-
mined by the following formula:
where the nominal discharge coeffi-
cient “K” equals 8.0 (115,2); and, “p”
equals the residual flowing pressure in
psi (bar).
Table A indicates the frame color code
and bulb liquid color as a function of
temperature rating.
INSTALLATION
NOTES
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler
if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the
sprinkler held horizontal, a small air
bubble should be present. The diame-
ter of the air bubble is approximately
1/4 inch (6,4 mm).
A leak tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained with a torque
of 10 to 20 ft.lbs. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm). A
maximum of 30 ft. lbs. (40,7 Nm) of
torque is to be used to install the
sprinklers. Higher levels of torque
may distort the sprinkler inlet with
consequent leakage or impairment of
the sprinkler.
The Issue D Sprinklers must be in-
stalled in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions.
Step 1. Upright sprinklers must be in-
stalled in the upright position and pen-
dent sprinklers must be installed in the
pendent position. The deflector is to be
parallel to the ceiling or roof, as appli-
cable.
Step 2. With pipe thread sealant ap-
plied, hand tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting.
Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
11 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure B).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Issue D Sprinklers must be maintained
and serviced in accordance with the
following instructions:

on the fire protection system which it
controls, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection system must be
obtained from the proper authorities
and all personnel who may be affected
by this action must be notified.
Sprinklers which are found to be leak-
ing or exhibiting visible signs of corro-
sion 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 com-
bustion, but have not operated, should
be replaced if they cannot be com-
pletely cleaned by wiping the sprinkler
with a cloth or by brushing it with a soft
bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid dam-
age to the sprinklers — before, during,
and after installation. Sprinklers dam-
aged by dropping, striking, wrench
twist/slippage, or the like, must be re-
placed. Also, replace any sprinkler that
has a cracked bulb or that has lost
liquid from its bulb (ref. Installation
Section Note).
The owner is responsible for the in-
spection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and de-
vices in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in
addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. The in-
stalling contractor or sprinkler manu-
facturer should be contacted relative
to any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected,
tested, and maintained by a qualified
Inspection Service.
