Sprinkler
Removal
NOTICE
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.
A sprinkler system must be de-pres-
surized and properly drained before
removing a sprinkler.
Other common hand tools, furnished
by the user, are needed in conjunction
with the TYCO Model 3002 SHA Fitting
Holdback Wrench to facilitate removal
of a sprinkler from a CPVC fire sprinkler
piping system.
The Holdback Wrench accepts a 3/8
in. drive socket wrench, of either the
ratchet or fixed type.
A sprinkler wrench of the type speci-
fied by the sprinkler manufacturer is
required. Refer to applicable sprin-
kler technical literature. In applications
where a recessed sprinkler wrench is
necessary, attach it to a socket drive
wrench of either the ratchet or fixed
type.
A recessed sprinkler installation fea-
tures a clearance hole of sufficient
size to permit fitting an escutcheon
closure ring. Typically, the hole must
be enlarged to accommodate inser-
tion and manipulation of the Holdback
Wrench. A keyhole saw or similar tool
may be used to enlarge the hole.
CAUTION
Before cutting a ceiling, check the area
surrounding the sprinkler for obstruc-
tions or electrical lines that can cause
injury.
Prior to using the TYCO Model 3002
SHA Fitting Holdback Wrench, observe
the following guidelines:

and properly drained
•
sprinkler removal utilizing the
holdback wrench is a two person
task, the rst to immobilize the

and the second to remove the

must wear safety glasses
