Model F3 Concealed and Recessed Installation Instructions • The Model G3 R/C Wrench (Fig. 1) is designed to locate on the wrenching pads 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 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 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 • avoid striking the deflector with the wrench. 5.
