125) pipe tees even at branch line ends. For these and �` t f a-
7 other fittings including CPVC, the dry sprinkler should be c ", =>
, installed into a fitting to conform with protrusion into the
fitting in accordance with the diagrams. Dry sprinklers z.
should not be installed into elbows and into pipe
g
couplings located on drop nipples to the sprinklers. The P een ,
"A" dimension of a dry sprinkler, which extends into Ra°G
freezers from wet pipe systems, should be selected to c d jeki
provide at least 14" (356mm) between the freezer's
ix
outside wall or ceiling and the wet pipe line.
1. Cut the specified size hole (see illustrations) for the
sprinkler in the ceiling directly in line with the tee. 4
2. Apply pipe joint compound to the 1" (25mm) pipe Fig. 1 - G3 R/C Wrench
threads and install sprinkler using the Model G3 or
• G3 R/C Sprinkler Wrench as specified.
3. Install the Model FP push -on /thread-off escutcheon or
CCP cover plate if required. ‘7.4.
Note: Installation of the Model F3 Sprinklers in : "" A
copper pipe systems is not recommended,
as this may reduce the life expectancy
of the sprinklers. _
Model F3 Concealed and Recessed
Installation Instructions
• The Model G3 R/C Wrench (Fig. 1) is designed to ,"pduaua
locate on the wrenching pads of the Recessed ' °ac{ ed "
sprinkler while centering in the cup. A standard Y/" lC F d A f
drive ratchet may be used to drive this wrench.
Figures 1 and 2 show sequentially the insertion of the '"
wrench. First, the wrench, with its jaws above the
sprinkler deflector, is moved laterally until centered
with the cup. Then raise the wrench inside the cup Fig. 2 - G3 R/C Wrench
until its jaws engage the sprinkler's square wrenching 1
pads (Fig. 3). To remove the wrench, follow this
procedure in reverse order. Care should be taken to - k ,,„-
avoid striking the deflector with the wrench. _ ~

ammonia or any other cleaning fluids. Remove dust by Fig. 3 - G3 R/C Wrench
using a soft brush or gently vacuuming. Remove any
sprinkler which has been painted (other than factory
applied) or damaged in any way. A stock of spare,
sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick
replacement of damaged or operated sprinklers. Prior
