General Installation Instructions
Model F3 dry sprinklers must be installed only in
. standard (ANSI B 16.3 class 150 and ANSI B 16.4 class
125) pipe tees even at branch line ends. For these and = ;"
ether fittings including CPVC, the dry sprinkler should be ` t `
installed into a fitting to conform with protrusion into the 4
fitting in accordance with the diagrams. Dry sprinklers ,--
4 S3
should not be installed into elbows and into pipe s A g ■s,�
couplings located on drop nipples to the sprinklers. The �,
"A" dimension of a dry sprinkler, which extends into , • q ,
freezers from wet pipe systems, should be selected to '.,
provide at least 14" (356mm) between the freezer's ;'
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.
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.
Note: Installation of the Model F3 Sprinklers in „
copper pipe systems is not recommended, r .

Installation Instructions '
• The Model G3 R/C Wrench (Fig. 1) is designed to f '
locate on the wrenching ads of the Recessed
sprinkler while centering in the cup. A standard W ,?•• -- ••
drive ratchet may be used to drive this wrench.
Figures 1 and 2 show sequentially the insertion of the F.
wrench. First, the wrench, with its jaws above the
• sprinkler deflector, is moved laterally until centered Fig. 2 - G3 R/C Wrench
with the cup. Then raise the wrench inside the cup
until its jaws engage the sprinkler's square wrenching
pads (Fig. 3). To remove the wrench, follow this
procedure in reverse order. Care should be taken to -: -;A.
avoid striking the deflector with the wrench. • Model G3 Wrench (Fig. 4) is used for installation of Pendent and Horizontal sidewall sprinklers.
Maintenance The Model F3 Dry Sprinklers should be inspected quarterly and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25. Do not remove the factory _______ applied thermally sensitive wax fillet between the bulb supporting cup and the wrenching boss. Do not replace this wax with a substitute substance. An Alternate
substance may interfere with proper operation of the
sprinkler. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water,
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 I:.
sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick .:41Z,
replacement of damaged or operated sprinklers. Prior ',
to installation, sprinklers should be maintained in the .
original cartons and packaging until used to minimize l
the potential for damage to sprinklers that would cause l i l ' ° ..
improper operation or non - operation. n ` . !
