7. INSTALLATION
1. Installing Model D-1 Sprinkler
Guard: Model D-1 Sprinkler Guards
can be retrofitted onto sprinklers that
have already been installed on the
system. However, it is recommended
to install the guard onto the sprin-
kler prior to installing the sprinkler
on the system and prior to applying
any pipe-joint compound or tape to
the external threads of the sprinkler.
Consider ordering the guard factory
installed on the sprinkler used.
a. Loosen the screws in the brackets
at the base of the sprinkler guard.
b. Spread and hold the two bracket
halves (at the base of the sprinkler
guard) apart just enough to place
the guard over the deflector and
wrench boss of the sprinkler.
c. With the sprinkler inside the sprin-
kler guard, position the guard so
the two halves of the bracket grip
the sprinkler just below the wrench
boss, but above the threads.
IMPORTANT! Orient the sprin-
kler guard so the screw open-
ings in the base of the guard
are located at the ends of the
sprinkler wrench boss (where
the sprinkler frame arms contact
the wrench boss). See Figure 1.

TECHNICAL DATA
d. Thread both screws into the open-
ings provided in the opposite
bracket half and tighten to secure
the base of the guard to the sprin-
kler.
e. Apply a small amount of pipe-joint
compound or tape to the external
threads only, taking care not to
allow a build-up of compound in
the sprinkler orifice.
f. Install the sprinkler on the piping
using the special sprinkler wrench.
DO NOT use the guard to start
or thread the sprinkler into the
fitting.
2. Installing the Dry Sprinkler Guard:
Dry sprinklers must be installed
on the system prior to installing
the guard onto the dry sprinklers.
Note: When installing the Dry
Sprinkler Guard on recessed Dry
Pendent or recessed Vertical Dry
Sidewall
Sprinklers,
Recessed Escutcheon Cup must be
removed and the sprinkler centered
in a minimum 2-1/8" (54 mm) diam-
eter hole prior to installation of the
Dry Sprinkler Guard.
a. Remove the retaining ring from the
Dry Sprinkler Guard.
b. Spread and hold the two "C"
shaped halves of the bracket (at
the base of the guard) apart just
enough to place the guard over
the deflector and wrench boss of
the sprinkler.
c. With the sprinkler inside the guard,
position the guard so the "C"
shaped bracket halves of the guard
grip the sprinkler in the slot pro-
vided just below the wrench boss.
IMPORTANT! Orient the sprin-
kler guard so two of the four
guard wires align with the
frame arms of the sprinkler.
See Figure 2.
d. Push the retaining ring over the
guard toward the base of the
sprinkler until the ring snaps firmly
into the depression provided on
each of the four wire members of
the guard.
e. For recessed dry pendent or re-
cessed vertical dry sidewall sprin-
klers, re-install the Viking recessed
escutcheon cup.
