Other limits may apply, depending on fire loading, sprinkler location, and other requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction. <br />Refer to specific installation standards. <br />B. Installation Instructions <br />Viking sprinklers are manufactured and tested to meet the rigid requirements of approving agencies. They are designed to be <br />installed in accordance with recognized installation standards NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D, and any associated TIAs. <br />Deviation from the standards or any alteration to the sprinklers or cover plate assemblies after they leave the factory including, <br />but not limited to: painting, plating, coating, or modification, may render the sprinklers inoperative and will automatically nullify the <br />approval and any guarantee made by Viking. <br />The use of residential sprinklers may be limited due to occupancy and hazard. Residential fire protection systems must be designed <br />and installed only by those who are completely familiar with the appropriate standards and codes, and thoroughly experienced in <br />fire protection design, hydraulic calculations, and sprinkler system installation. <br />Before installation, be sure to have the appropriate sprinkler model and style, with the correct K-Factor, temperature rating, and <br />response characteristics. Viking residential sprinklers must be installed after the piping is in place to prevent mechanical damage. <br />Keep sprinklers with protective caps or bulb shields contained within the caps or shields during installation and testing, and any time <br />the sprinkler is shipped or handled. <br />1 a. For frame -style sprinklers, install escutcheon (if used), which is designed to thread onto the external threads of the sprinkler*. <br />*Refer to the appropriate sprinkler technical data page to determine approved escutcheons for use with specific sprinkler models. <br />1 b. For flush and concealed style sprinklers: Cut the sprinkler nipple so that the M.' or 3/4" (15 mm or 20 mm) NPT** outlet of the <br />reducing coupling is at the desired location and centered in the opening** in the ceiling or wall. <br />**Size depends on the sprinkler model used. Refer to appropriate sprinkler data page. <br />Form No. F_080190 18.10.25 Rev 16.1.P65 <br />
