Care and
Maintenance
The Series RFII must be maintained
and serviced in accordance with the
following instructions:
NOTES
Absence of the Cover Plate Assembly
may delay sprinkler operation in a fire
situation.
When properly installed, there is a
nominal 3/32 inch (2,4 mm) air gap
between the lip of the Cover Plate and
the ceiling, as shown in Figure 2. This
air gap is necessary for proper opera-
tion of the sprinkler. If the ceiling is to
be repainted after the installation of
the Sprinkler, care must be exercised
to ensure that the new paint does NOT
seal off any of the air gap.
Factory painted Cover Plates MUST
NOT be repainted. They should be re-
placed, if necessary, by factory
painted units.
Do not pull the Cover Plate relative to
the Enclosure. Separation may result.
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 system 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
shipped or stored where their tempera-
ture will exceed 100°F/38°C and they
must never be painted, plated, coated
or otherwise altered after leaving the
factory. Modified sprinklers must be re-
placed. Sprinklers that have been ex-
posed to corrosive products of com-
bustion, but have not operated, should
be replaced if they cannot be com-
pletely cleaned by wiping the sprinkler
with a cloth or by brushing it with a soft
bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid dam-
age to the sprinklers - before, during,
and after installation. Sprinklers dam-
aged by dropping, striking, wrench
twist/slippage, or the like, must be re-
placed. Also, replace any sprinkler that
has a cracked bulb or that has lost
liquid from its bulb. (Ref. Installation
Section).
If a sprinkler must be removed, do not
reinstall it or a replacement without
reinstalling the Cover Plate Assembly.
If a Cover Plate Assembly becomes
dislodged during service, replace it im-
mediately.
The owner is responsible for the in-
spection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and de-
vices in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in
addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. The in-
stalling contractor or sprinkler manu-
facturer should be contacted relative to
any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
spr inkler systems be inspected,
tested, and maintained by a qualified
Inspection Service.
