Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure D).
With reference to Figure A, the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the wrench flats.
The Model A Recessed Extended
Coverage Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers must be installed in ac-
cordance with the following instruc-
tions.
Step A. Recessed horizontal sidewall
sprinklers are to be installed in the
horizontal position with their centerline
of waterway perpendicular to the back
wall and parallel to the ceiling. The
word “TOP” on the deflector must face
towards the ceiling.
It is recommended that a lightweight
spirit level (less than 1 pound) be used
to level the sprinkler fitting as shown in
Figure C and that a square be used to
to check perpendicularity of the water-
way to the mounting surface.
Step B. Verify that the face of the sprin-
kler fitting is within the proper range of
distance which can be accommodated
by the Model F700 or F705 Recessed
Escutcheon.
For best overall appearance, use Di-
mension “A” indicated under the “Fully
Recessed Dimensions” heading of
Figure B. Otherwise, use Dimension
“A” under the “High Adjustment Dimen-
sions” heading. In either case, the re-
maining adjustment can be used to
compensate for the possible manufac-
turing variations in take-out of the fit-
ting, as well as in the make-in of the
sprinklers (as permitted by ANSI
B1.20.1).
Step C. After installing the F700 or
F705 Mounting Plate over the sprin-
kler threads, hand tighten the sprinkler
into the sprinkler fitting.
Step D. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.
Figure E). With reference to Figure A,
the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler
Wrench is to be applied to the sprinkler
wrench flats.
Step E. After the wall has been in-
stalled or the finish coat has been ap-
plied, slide on the F700 or4 F705 Clo-
sure over the Model A Sprinkler and
push the Closure over the Mounting
Plate until its flange comes in contact
with the ceiling.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The Model A Sprinklers must be main-
tained and serviced in accordance
with the following instructions:
NOTES
Before closing a fire protection system
control valve for maintenance work
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.
Absence of an escutcheon, which is
used to cover a clearance hole, may
delay the time to sprinkler operation
in a fire situation.
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 re-
placed. Sprinklers that have been ex-
posed 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.
