Installation
The Model CC3 Sprinklers must be 
installed in accordance with this 
section.
General Instructions
The Model CC3 Sprinklers are to be 
installed upright and with their frame 
arms, see Figure 1, in-line with the 
pipe run. See Figures 2 through 8, as 
applicable.
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler 
if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss 
of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin-
kler held horizontally, a small air bubble 
should be present. The diameter of the 
air bubble is approximately 1/16 in. 
(1,6 mm) for the 200°F (93°C) tempera-
ture rating.
A leak-tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint 
should be obtained with a torque of 7 to 
14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N∙m). Higher levels 
of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet 
with consequent leakage or impairment 
of the sprinkler.
The Model CC3 Sprinklers must 
only be installed in the upright posi-
tion with the deector parallel to the 
upper deck. With pipe thread sealant 
applied to the pipe threads, use only 
the W-Type 6 (End A) Sprinkler Wrench, 
see Figure 10, for installation of the 
Model CC3 Sprinklers by applying the 
wrench to the sprinkler wrench ats 
only.
