Care and 

Maintenance

The EC-8C 8.0 K-factor Special Appli-

cation, Quick Response Pendent and 

Recessed Pendent Sprinklers must be 

maintained and serviced in accordance 

with this section.
Before closing a fire protection system 

main control valve for maintenance 

work on the fire protection system that 

it controls, permission to shut down the 

affected fire protection systems must 

be obtained from the proper authorities 

and all personnel who may be affected 

by this action must be notified.
Sprinklers that are found to be leaking 

or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion 

must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be 

painted, plated, coated, or other-

wise altered after leaving the factory. 

Modified sprinklers must be replaced. 

Sprinklers that have been exposed to 

corrosive products of combustion, but 

have not operated, should be replaced 

if they cannot be completely cleaned 

by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or 

by brushing it with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid 

damage to the sprinklers before, 

during, and after installation. Sprin-

klers damaged by dropping, striking, 

wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must 

be replaced. Also, replace any sprin-

kler that has a cracked bulb or that has 

lost liquid from its bulb. See Installa-

tion Section.

Frequent visual inspections are rec-

ommended to be initially performed 

for corrosion resistant coated sprin-

klers, after the installation has been 

completed, to verify the integrity of the 

corrosion resistant coating. Thereafter, 

annual inspections per NFPA 25 should 

suffice; however, instead of inspecting 

from the floor level, a random sampling 

of close-up visual inspections should 

be made, so as to better determine the 

exact sprinkler condition and the long 

term integrity of the corrosion resistant 

coating, as it may be affected by the 

corrosive conditions present.
The owner is responsible for the 

inspection, testing, and maintenance of 

their fire protection system and devices 

in compliance with this document, as 

well as with the applicable standards 

of the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION 

ASSOCIATION, such as NFPA 25, in 

addition to the standards of any other 

authorities having jurisdiction. The 

installing contractor or sprinkler man-

ufacturer should be contacted relative 

to any questions.
It is recommended that automatic 

sprinkler systems be inspected, tested, 

and maintained by a qualified Inspec-

tion Service in accordance with local 

requirements and/or national codes.
