Note: If sprinkler removal becomes
necessary, remove the sprinkler
using the same wrenching method
noted above. Sprinkler removal
is easier when a non-hardening
sealant was used and torque guide-
lines were followed. After removal,
inspect the sprinkler for damage.

After installing the ceiling and
applying a ceiling nish, slide on the
outer piece of the Escutcheon until
it comes in contact with the ceiling.
Do not lift the ceiling panel out of its
normal position.
When using the Deep Escutcheon,
hold the outer piece in contact with
the mounting surface (ceiling or
wall). Then rotate the inner piece
approximately 1/4 turn with respect
to the outer piece, to hold the Deep
Escutcheon rmly together.
Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Series DS-2 Dry-Type Sprinklers
must be maintained and serviced
in accordance with the following
instructions.
NOTICE
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected fire protection
systems from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
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 re situation.
A Vent Hole is provided in the Bulb Seat
(Figure 1) to indicate if the Dry Sprinkler
is remaining dry. Evidence of leakage
from the Vent Hole indicates potential
leakage past the Inlet seal and the need
to remove the sprinkler to determine
the cause of leakage; for example, an
improper installation or an ice plug.
Close the re protection system control
valve and drain the system before
removing the sprinkler.
Exercise care to avoid damage before,
during, and after installation. Never
paint, plate, coat, or otherwise alter
automatic sprinklers after they leave
the factory.
Never repaint factory-painted Cover
Plates. When necessary, replace
cover plates with factory-painted
units. Non-factory applied paint can
adversely delay or prevent sprinkler
operation in the event of a re.
Replace sprinklers that:
•were damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twisting, wrench slippage, or
the like.
•were modied or over-heated.
•
have cracked bulbs or have lost liquid
from the bulbs. Refer to the Installation
Section in this data sheet.
•are leaking or exhibiting visible signs
of corrosion.
Responsibility lies with owners for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their re protection system and devices
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards of
the National Fire Protection Association
(for example, 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.
Automatic sprinkler systems are recom-
mended to be inspected, tested, and
maintained by a qualied Inspection
Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
