Obtain a leak-tight 1 in. NPT sprinkler joint by applying a minimum-to-maxi- mum torque of 20 to 30 lb-ft (26,8 to 40,2 N·m). Higher levels of torque may distort the sprinkler Inlet with conse- quent leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.Do not attempt to compensate for insufficient adjustment in an Escutch- eon Plate by under or over-tightening the Sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of the sprinkler fitting to suit.Notes: • Install pendent sprinklers only in the pendent position; install upright sprinklers only in the upright posi- tion. The deflector of a pendent or upright sprinkler is to be parallel to the ceiling.Install horizontal sidewall sprinklers in the horizontal position with their centerline of waterway perpendicu- lar to the back wall and parallel to the ceiling. Ensure the word “TOP” on the Deflector faces the ceiling. Step 1. With a non-hardening pipe- thread sealant such as TEFLON applied to the inlet threads, hand-tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.
