hor i zon tal side wall sprin klers are or -
dered in spe cific lengths noted as the "A"
di men sion (see Fig ures 1 through 4).
The "A" di men sion is the dis tance from
the face of the fit ting (tee) to the fin ished
sur face of the wall in which it is to be in -
stalled. The dry hor i zon tal side wall
sprin kler must be or dered and man u fac -

of in stal la tion: with the ad just able re -
cessed es cutch eon (see Fig ure 1), with
the ad just able stan dard es cutch eon (see
Fig ures 2 and 3), or with the plain bar rel

should be de stroyed. 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

anal y sis as soon as pos si ble. If the
sprin kler is not re turned to Vi king, it
