Model: FX Installation Instructions *For STM 65 metal ceiling suspension systems installed in accordance with STM 66 standards. WRNING * Read and follow these installation instructions before attempting to install Fivalco products. * Installer must understand the purpose of these products with common standards of the industry for safety, and the consequences of improper product installation. * Wear safety glasses, hardhat, and foot protection during installation. * Failure to follow these instructions could cuase improper sprinkler operation, resulting in serious personal injury and / or property damage. * The flexible hose are not to be bent within.5 inches of the connection nut at both ends. SSEMLY INSTRUTIONS () Pipe side: pply PTFE thread seal tape or pipe joint compound to the tapered threads of the inlet nipple. () Flexible hose side: DO NOT use both pipe PTFE or pipe joint compund. Tighten the inlet nipple into branch line using pipe wrench. onnect the nut of flexible hose to the inlet nipple using a pipe wrench. DO NOT use PTFE or pipe joint compound on the inlet nipple at the hose side since there is already a seal gasket in place to seal the joint. Tighten the connection to a maximum torque of 5 ft-lbs/0 N*m. Too much torque may cause damage to the seal gasket.
Model: FX Installation Instructions *For STM 65 metal ceiling suspension systems installed in accordance with STM 66 standards. onnect the nut of the flexible hose to the outlet reducer.
