ings provided in the opposite
bracket half and tighten to secure
the base of the guard to the sprin-

2. Installing the Dry Sprinkler Guard:
Dry sprinklers must be installed

Note: When installing the Dry
Sprinkler Guard on recessed Dry
Pendent or recessed Vertical Dry
Sidewall Sprinklers, the Viking
Recessed Escutcheon Cup must be
removed and the sprinkler centered
in a minimum 2-1/8” (54 mm) diam-
eter hole prior to installation of the
Dry Sprinkler Guard.
a. Remove the retaining ring from the
Dry Sprinkler Guard.
b. Spread and hold the two “C”
shaped halves of the bracket (at
the base of the guard) apart just
enough to place the guard over
the deflector and wrench boss of
the sprinkler.
c. With the sprinkler inside the guard,
position the guard so the “C”
shapedbrackethalvesoftheguard
grip the sprinkler in the slot pro-
vided just below the wrench boss.
IMPORTANT! Orient the sprin-
kler guard so two of the four
guard wires align with the
frame arms of the sprinkler.
See Figure 2.

guard toward the base of the
sprinkler until the ring snaps firmly
into the depression provided on

7. INSTALLATION
1. Installing Model D-1 Sprinkler
Guard: Model D-1 Sprinkler Guards
can be retrofitted onto sprinklers that
have already been installed on the
system. However, it is recommended
to install the guard onto the sprin-
kler prior to installing the sprinkler
on the system and prior to applying
any pipe-joint compound or tape to
the external threads of the sprinkler.
Consider ordering the guard factory
installed on the sprinkler used.
a. Loosen the screws in the brackets
at the base of the sprinkler guard.
b. Spread and hold the two bracket
halves (at the base of the sprinkler
guard) apart just enough to place
the guard over the deflector and
wrench boss of the sprinkler.
c. With the sprinkler inside the sprin-
kler guard, position the guard so
the two halves of the bracket grip
the sprinkler just below the wrench
boss, but above the threads.
IMPORTANT! Orient the sprin-
kler guard so the screw open-
ings in the base of the guard
are located at the ends of the
sprinkler wrench boss (where
the sprinkler frame arms contact
the wrench boss). See Figure 1.
