eter of the air bubble is approximately
1/16 in. (1,6 mm) for the 135°F (57°C)
and 3/32 in. (2,4 mm) for the 360°F
(182°C) temperature ratings.
A 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint should be
obtained with a minimum to maximum
torque of 7 to 14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N∙m).
A 3/4 in. NPT sprinkler joint should be
obtained with a minimum to maximum

kler. Re-adjust the position of the sprin-
kler fitting to suit.
