B. Sprin klers must be han dled with care.
They must be stored in a cool, dry
place in their orig i nal ship ping con -
tainer. Never in stall sprin klers that
have been dropped, dam aged, or ex -
posed to tem per a tures in ex cess of
the max i mum am bi ent tem per a ture
al lowed. Never in stall any glass-bulb
sprin kler if the bulb is cracked or if
there is a loss of liq uid from the bulb.
If a glass bulb lacks the ap pro pri ate
amount of fluid, it should be set aside
and re turned to Vi king (or an au tho -
rized Vi king dis trib u tor) for anal y sis
as soon as pos si ble. If the sprin kler is
not re turned to Vi king, it should be
de stroyed im me di ately.
C. Cor ro sion-resistant sprin klers must
be in stalled when sub ject to cor ro -
sive at mo spheres. When in stall ing
cor ro sion-resistant sprin klers, take
care not to dam age the cor ro -
sion-resistant coat ing. Use only the
spe cial wrench de signed for in stall -

be re moved, new pipe-joint com -
pound or tape ap plied, and then re in -
stalled. This is due to the fact that
when the joint seal is dam aged, the
seal ing com pound or tape is washed
out of the joint. Air test ing the sprin -
kler pip ing prior to test ing with wa ter
may be con sid ered in ar eas where
