10 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Determine the approximate place whether the sprinklers will be located. The sprinkler should be located as close as possible to the center of the distance between ceiling grid's T-bars. CONNECT INLET NIPPLE Use a pipe wrench to screw the INLET NIPPLE into the branch outlet. Apply pipe joint compound or Teflon tape to the tapered threads to seal and tighten the branch line nipple into the branch line outlet, with 5ft-lbs/50N m. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. ATTACH BRACKET SET Attach SIDE BRACKETS to the main rail of of the T-Bar grid and cross the SQUARE BAR through two SIDE BRACKETS, with the CENTER BRACKET in the middle. Tighten all bolts on the side brackets with ft-lbs/4n m. BENDING AND LOCATING With CENTER BRACKET in the middle of the SQUARE BAR, bend the FLEXIBLE HOSE body as desired (According to hose bending parameters) and locate the DISCHARGE NIPPLE into the CENTER BRACKET and hinge arm and and tighten wing nut with ft-lbs/4n m torque, after the proper location of sprinkler head has beendetermined. CONNECT DISCHARGE NIPPLE Apply Teflon tape to the male threads of the sprinkler. Tighten slip nuts of CENTER BRACKET and install sprinkler head to discharge nipple by following the sprinkler manufacturer's installation instructions. TEST After installation is complete, test the system for leaks in accordance with NFPA guidelines. HOSE BENDING PARAMETERS Updated 6/26/2018 ARGCO
