NOTES
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to
provide a copy of this document to the owner or his
representative, and in turn, it is the obligation of the
owner to provide a copy of this document to a suc-
ceeding owner.
Wet pipe sprinkler systems must be maintained at a
minimum temperature of 40°F/4°C to prevent freezing
and bursting of the pipe and/or sprinklers.
Automatic sprinklers are not to be tested with a heat
source. Operation of the heat responsive element can
result.
Absence of an Escutcheon Plate may delay the time
to sprinkler operation in a fire situation.
Before closing a fire protection system main control
valve for maintenance work on the fire protection sys-
tem which it controls, permission to shut down the af-
fected fire protection system must be obtained from
the proper authorities and all personnel who may be

Do NOT enclose sprinklers within drapes, curtains, or
valances.

detergents, ammonia, cleaning fluids, or other chemi-

and larvae by gently brushing with a feather duster or
gently vacuuming with a soft bristle (i.e., dusting)
brush attachment.
Exercise suitable safety precautions in the use and
storage of highly flammable materials. The rapid rate
of fire development and spread of which can be
caused by such materials can reduce the ability of
the sprinkler system to aid in the control of a fire in
which they are involved.

free standing partitions, room dividers, cabinets, stor-
age racks, stock piles, etc., and the sprinkler deflector
is NOT to be less than the clearance given in Table C.
