WRENCH DESCRIPTION
The Sprinkler Wrench is a tool specically designed for
installingSHIELDSprinklers.Thesespecialwrenchesmust
be used to provide the proper leverage when tightening the
sprinklerandtominimizeslippageduringinstallation.Any

INSTALLATION
All SHIELD Sprinklers must be installed according to
NFPA 13 Standards. Deviations fromthese requirements
and standards or any alteration to the sprinkler itself will
void any warranty made by manufacturer. In addition,
installation must also meet local government provisions,
codesandstandardsasapplicable.
The system piping must be properly sized to insure the
minimumrequiredowrateatthesprinkler.Checkforthe
proper model, style, orice size and temperature rating
prior to installation.Installsprinklersafterthepipingisin
place to avoid mechanical damage, replace any damaged
units.Wetpipesystemsmustbeprotectedfromfreezing.
Upon completion of the installation, the system must be
testedperrecognizedstandards.Intheeventofathread

INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Step1.TheunitmustbeinstalledinthePendentposition
fortheConcealedSprinkler.
Step2.Useonlyanon-hardeningpipejointcompoundor

threads.
Step3.Handtightenthesprinklerintotting.
Step4.ForConcealedSprinklers,useastandardwrench.
Tightentheunit intothetting.A lead-tightjointrequires
only 7 to 14ft.-lbs(9.5 to 19.0Nm) oftorque. A tangential
force of 14 to 28ft.-lbs(62.3 to124.5N) delivered through
a 6”(150mm) handle will deliver adequate torque. Once
torque level reach over 21ft.-lbs(28.6Nm) it may distort
the orice seal, resulting in leakage. For exposed piping
systems, the sprinkler should be oriented so the frame
armsareparallelwiththebranchlinepipe.
