DESCRIPTION Viking Standard Response Dry Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers are thermosensitive spray sprinklers suitable for use in areas subject to freezing. The sprinklers are designed for dry systems and preaction systems where it is necessary to prevent water or condensation from entering the supply nipple before sprinkler operation. They may also be installed in spaces subject to freezing and supplied from a wet system in an adjacent heated area. Viking Standard Response Dry Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers are available in various finishes and temperature ratings to meet design requirements. The special Polyester and Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coatings have been investigated for installation in corrosive atmospheres and are listed/approved as corrosion resistant as indicated in the Approval Charts. (Note: FM Global has no approval classification for Polyester coatings as corrosion resistant.) NOTE: When installed in some corrosive environments, the Polyester finish may change color. This natural discoloration over time is not in itself an indi- cation of corrosion and should not be treated as such. All sprinklers installed in corrosive environments should be replaced or tested as described in NFPA 25 on a more frequent basis. 2.

Order in a specific length noted as the "A" dimension (see Figures 2, 4, and 6). The "A" dimension is the distance from the face of the fitting (tee) to the desired finished surface of the wall in which it is to be installed. These sprinklers are listed and approved in lengths from 1-1/2" to 45-1/2" (38.1 mm to 1,156 mm) for the adjustable standard style, 3" to 47" (76.2 mm to 1,194 mm) for the plain barrel style, and 3-1/4" to 47-1/2" (82.5 mm to 1,207 mm) for the adjustable recessed style. Lengths exceeding the standard lengths are available, with no approvals, on a "made -to -order" basis: Recessed Dry Horizontal Sidewall up to 65-1/4" (1,664 mm). Adjustable Standard Dry Horizontal Sidewall up to 63-1/2" (1,613 mm). Plain Barrel Dry Horizontal Sidewall up to 65" (1,651 mm). Contact the manufacturer for more information.

DESCRIPTION Viking Quick Response Dry Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers are thermosensitive spray sprinklers suitable for use in areas subject to freezing. The sprinklers are designed for dry systems and preaction systems where it is necessary to prevent water or condensation from entering the drop nipple before sprinkler operation. They may also be installed in spaces subject to freezing and supplied from a wet system in an adjacent heated area. Viking Quick Response Dry HSW Sprinklers are available in various finishes and temperature ratings to meet design requirements. The special Polyester and Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coatings have been investigated for installation in corrosive atmospheres and are listed/approved as corrosion resistant as indi- cated in the Approval Charts. (Note: FM Global has no approval classification for Polyester coatings as corrosion resistant.) NOTE: When installed in some corrosive environments, the Polyester finish may change color. This natural discoloration over time is not in itself an indi- cation of corrosion and should not be treated as such. All sprinklers installed in corrosive environments should be replaced or tested as described in NFPA 25 For Light Hazard Occupancies Only on a more frequent basis.

Trusted above all TM NIKJW*iCR) Viking Plastics BlazeMaster° CPVC Pipe Recommended Practices and Precautions for Installation CAUTION: This information is general in nature and does not constitute a complete installation guide. Please read, understand and follow Viking's complete CPVC INSTALLATION AND DESIGN MANUAL prior to installing BlazeMaster® CPVC fire sprinkler pipe from Viking. Plastic piping systems must be designed, engineered, and installed in accordance with accepted industry standards and applicable building codes and requirements. Proper design, application, and installation are the responsibility of the end user. Installation Best Practices • Installation should be made only by a qualified installer or contractor in accordance with all applicable codes and requirements. • Carefully read and follow the installation instructions from Viking Plastics' CPVC Installation and Design Manual. • Follow all recommended safe work practices. • Make certain that all materials are compatible with BlazeMaster"" CPVC including thread sealants, gasket lubricants, firestop materials, etc. • Use only manufacturer premix antifreeze solutions. • Keep pipe and fittings in original packaging until needed. • Cover pipe and fittings with an opaque tarp if stored outdoors. • Follow proper care and handling procedures as outlined in Viking Plastics' CPVC Installation and Design Manual. • Use tools specifically designed for use with CPVC pipe and fittings. • Make certain to follow all solvent cement joining procedures per Viking Plastics' CPVC Installation and Design Manual, including but not limited to the following: Make certain that no solvent cement is on sprinkler head and adapter threads. Make certain that solvent cement does not run and plug the sprinkler head orifice. Wipe off excess cement on the outside of the joint. Use a dauber that is properly sized for the pipe. For 3/4 inch and 1 inch pipe, use a dauber that is 1/2 inch in size. For 1-1/4 inch through 3 inch pipe, use a dauber that is 3/4 inch in size. • Use a drop cloth to protect interior finishes. • Cut the pipe ends square. • Deburr and bevel the pipe end with a chamfering tool. • Rotate the pipe 1/4 turn when bottoming pipe in fitting socket. • Follow the manufacturer's recommended cure times prior to hydro static pressure testing (at a minimum). • Fill lines slowly to minimize any trapped air. • Bleed the air from the system prior to hydrostatic pressure testing. • Support sprinkler head properly to prevent lift up of the head through the ceiling when activated. • Keep threaded rod within 1/16" of the pipe or use a surge arrestor. • If necessary, use only insulation and/or glycerin and water solutions for freeze protection. • Listed heat tracing may also be used for freeze protection. • For freeze protection, also consider designing system with horizontal sidewall sprinklers installed in an interior heated wall space and/or the use of Listed dry sprinklers. • Allow for movement due to thermal expansion and contraction. • Ensure installers have been properly trained per BlazeMaster® CPVC Fire Sprinkler System Installation and Design Manual and renew your training every two years at a minimum. Please avoid the following: • Do not use edible oils such as Crisco® as a gasket lubricant. • Do not use any materials that are incompatible with CPVC, such as petroleum or solvent -based sealants, lubricants, firestop, etc. • Do not use any propylene glycol -based solutions as an antifreeze. • Do not use solvent cement that exceeds its shelf life or has become discolored or jellied. • Do not allow solvent cement to plug the sprinkler head orifice. • Do not allow puddling of solvent cement in fittings and pipe. • Do not connect rigid metal couplings to CPVC grooved adapters. • Do not thread or groove CPVC pipe. • Do not use solvent cement near sources of heat, open flame, or when smoking. • Do not pressure test with air. • Do not hydrostatic pressure test until Viking's recommended cure times are met (at a minimum). • Do not use ratchet cutters below 50° F. • Do not use CPVC pipe that has been stored outdoors unprotected and is faded in color. • Do not allow threaded rod to come in contact with the pipe (under normal, non -flowing conditions). • Do not install CPVC in cold weather without allowing for thermal expansion. • Do not use dull or broken cutting tool blades when cutting pipe. • Do not use CPVC with incompatible materials.

This approach will expedite cure times prior to pressure testing. • The cut -in connection to the existing system should be made first, prior to proceeding with additional work. • Existing lines must be drained adequately prior to solvent cementing. Con- sider using a Drain Vac unit to be sure all water is removed from the system (moisture can slow the cure time and reduce joint strength). • Carefully review and follow manufacturer's solvent cementing procedures for proper joining techniques prior to commencing with cut -in (pipe must be cut square to proper length, deburred, beveled and dried to ensure proper inser- tion depth and highest integrity). • Carefully measure and cut pipe to proper length to ensure complete insertion during assembly (check the dry fit of the components being joined). • Note: During assembly of the cut -in tee (and other components) it is impor- tant to make a one -quarter turn when inserting the pipe into the fitting per the manufacturer's assembly instructions, particularly on 11 / 2" pipe sizes and larger. This may require the use of several components assembled in combina- tion with the cut -in tee to create as short spool piece assembly. This can be accomplished by using socket unions, flanges, or grooved coupling adapters that will ensure that a one -quarter turn can be obtained on all pipe connec- tions being joined.

CPVC risers in vertical shafts or in buildings with ceilings over 25 feet (7.62 m), shall be aligned straightly and supported at each floor level, or at 10 feet (3.05 m) intervals, whichever is less. Underground Water Pressure Service Both pipe and fittings may be used in underground water pressure service installations per the following requirements: 1. ASTM D 2774, Standard Recommended Practice for Underground Installation of Thermoplastic Pressure Piping, 2. ASTM F 645, Standard Guide for Selection, Design and Installation of Thermoplastic Water Pressure Piping Systems, and 3. The system shall be installed per the requirements of NFPA 24. 4. BlazeMaster° CPVC sprinkler pipe and fittings shall be installed per the manufacturer's installation instructions and this design manual. Thrust Blocking If thrust blocks are utilized, they should be designed per NFPA 24, Section 10.8.2 (2002, 2007, 2010). NOTE: BlazeMaster°fire sprinkler systems utilize a solvent cement joining method. As such, thrust blocks are not required with BlazeMaster° CPVC pipe and fittings in underground water pressure service. Reference NFPA 24, Section A.10.8.1.1 (2002, 2007, 2010). -27- Trenching The trench should be of adequate width to allow convenient installation, while at the same time being as narrow as possible. Minimum trench widths may be utilized by joining pipe outside of the trench and lowering it into the trench after adequate joint strength has been achieved. (NOTE: Refer to the recommended set and cure time tables for solvent cement joints). Trench widths will have to be wider where pipe is joined in the trench or where thermal expansion and contraction is a factor. See section titled "Snaking of Pipe". • Water -filled pipe should be buried at least 12 inches (305 mm) below the maximum expected frost line. • It is recommended that BlazeMaster° piping be run within a metal or concrete casing when it is installed beneath surfaces that are subject to heavy -weight or constant traffic such as roadways and railroad tracks. The trench bottom should be continuous, relatively smooth and free of rocks. Where ledge rock, hardpan or boulders are encountered, it is necessary to protect the pipe from damage. Use a minimum of 4 inches (102 mm) of clean soil or sand as referenced in ASTM D 2774. Sufficient cover must be maintained to keep external stress levels below acceptable design stress. Reliability and safety of service are of major importance in determining minimum cover. Local, state and national codes may also govern. Snaking of Pipe After BlazeMaster° CPVC pipe has been solvent welded, it is advisable to snake the pipe according to the below recommendations beside the trench during its required curing time. BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL NOT TO APPLY ANY STRESS THAT WILL DISTURB THE UNDRIED JOINT. This snaking is necessary in order to allow for any anticipated thermal movement that could take place in the newly joined pipeline. Snaking is particularly necessary on the lengths that have been solvent welded during the late afternoon of a hot day, because their drying time will extend through the cool of the night when thermal contraction of the pipe could stress the joints to the point of pull out. This snaking is also especially necessary with pipe that is laid in its trench (necessitating wider trenches than recommended) and is back -filled with cool earth before the joints are thoroughly dry. 1 �?IPe Centlerline/ 1 Ofiset 1 Loop Length 2 Loop Lengths Figure 3: Snaking of Pipe -28- Backfilling NOTE: Underground pipe shall be thoroughly inspected and tested for leaks prior to backfilling. Backfill material should be placed over pipe sections only, leaving the joints exposed during testing. Ideally, backfilling should only be done early in the morning during hot weather when the line is fully contracted and there is no chance of insufficiently dried joints being subjected to contraction stresses. The pipe should be uniformly and continuously supported over its entire length on firm, stable material. Blocking should not be used to change pipe grade or to intermittently support pipe across excavated sections. Pipe is installed in a wide range of sub -soils. These soils should not only be stable, but applied in such a manner as to physically shield the pipe from damage. Attention should be given to local pipe laying experience that may indicate particular pipe bedding problems. Backfill materials free of rocks with a particle size of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) or less should be used to surround the pipe with 6 inch (152 mm) to 8 inch (203 mm) of cover. It should be placed in layers. Each soil layer should be sufficiently compacted to uniformly develop lateral passive soil forces during the backfill operation. It may be advisable to have the pipe under hydraulic pressure, 15 to 25 psi (103 — 172 kPa) during the backfilling.

Best results are obtained when the soils are in a nearly saturated condition. Where water flooding is used, the initial backfill should be sufficient to insure complete coverage of the pipe. Additional material should not be added until the water - flooded backfill is firm enough to walk on. Care should be taken to avoid floating the pipe. Sand and gravel containing a significant proportion of fine- grained material, such as silt and clay, should be compacted by hand or, preferably by mechanical tamper. The remainder of the backfill should be placed and spread in approximately uniform layers in such a manner as to fill the trench completely so that there will be no unfilled spaces under or about the rocks or lumps of earth in the backfill. Large or sharp rocks, frozen clods and other debris greater than 3 inch (76 mm) in diameter should be removed. Rolling equipment or heavy tampers should only be used to consolidate the final backfill. Low Pressure Dry Sprinkler Systems Viking Plastics BlazeMaster° pipe is Listed by UL for use in dry pipe sprinkler systems where the pressure does not exceed 15 psi and the ambient temperature is above -20°F. The dry system is to be installed in accordance with NFPA 13D, Standard for Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two -Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes. When air is used in dry pipe sprinkler systems that utilize BlazeMaster°CPVC pipe and fittings, there must be no residual oil in the compressed air. The types of oil used in this application may be incompatible with CPVC. If the oil is not removed from the compressed air, there is the risk that the oil may be incompatible with CPVC. In such situations, over time the CPVC pipe or fittings may fail due to this incompatibility. The removal of oil from the compressed air is beneficial from several other standpoints. Oil -laden air contaminates pneumatic systems, fouls critical instrumentation orifices, and produces unsafe environmental condensate. There are currently a variety of methods to remove the oil from compressed air. -30- The dry pipe sprinkler system must be designed to provide pressure relief when the system pressure exceeds 15 psi. As an alternative to this requirement, the system may be equipped with an alarm that sounds when the pressure exceeds 15 psi. Factory Mutual Approvals Viking Plastics BlazeMaster° CPVC fire sprinkler products are approved by Factory Mutual for use in unexposed installations when installed by a qualified installer or contractor. One method approved for Factory Mutual (FM) insured properties is to install the BlazeMaster° CPVC pipe protected by a permanent, non -removable fire-resistant barrier.

Penetratina Fire -Rated Walls & Partitions Before beginning installation, consult the building codes and authorities having jurisdiction in your area. Several UL Classified, through -penetration firestop systems are approved for use with CPVC pipe. Consult the UL Building Materials Directory, the UL Fire Resistance Directory, and the system manufacturer for proper selection and application. Use With Other Manufacturers' Pipes, Fittings, & Solvent Cements Viking Plastics Blazemastero CPVC fire sprinkler products are UL and C-UL Listed for use in systems containing other manufacturers' BlazeMaster CPVC products Listed in accordance with the appropriate US and/or Canadian requirements. -33- NOTICE NOTICE: While Viking Plastics Blazemaster° CPVC fire sprinkler products are UL Listed for use in combination with other listed manufacturers' products, specific application approvals may not be the same among manufacturers. It is the installer's responsibility to verify suitability of products used in combination according to each manufacturer's installation instructions. Contact Viking Plastics if you have questions on any application not addressed in this manual. Viking Plastics approved one-step solvent cement can be used provided that the assembly and curing instructions referenced in this manual are followed. The one-step process eliminates the need for the primer application, as the cement itself provides adequate softening of the joining surfaces. This joining method simplifies installation by reducing labor and offers faster curing times prior to the pressure testing in most cases. NOTE: Follow appropriate cure times for the solvent cement chosen. Installation & Joining Use Viking Plastics approved CPVC one-step solvent cements referenced in "One -Step Solvent Cement" section on page 12 of this manual. One-step solvent cement eliminates the need for primers that are typical in two-step cementing processes. The one-step joining method simplifies installations by reducing labor and offers faster curing times before pressure testing (in most cases). WARNING: BEFORE ASSEMBLING ANY VIKING PLASTICS BLAZEMASTER®CPVC FIRE SPRINKLER PRODUCTS, INSTALLERS MUST INSPECT ALL COMPONENTS FOR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, AND CUTS, SCRATCHES, GOUGES, SPLIT ENDS, OR ANY OTHER IRREGULARITIES THAT HAVE OCCURRED DURING SHIPPING AND HANDLING. LISTED CPVC FIRE SPRINKLER PIPE SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR ANY DAMAGE OR EVIDENCE OF CRACKING. DO NOT USE ANY VISIBLY DAMAGED PRODUCTS. TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PRODUCT DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. -34- Joining CPVC Pipe & Fittings with One -Step Solvent Cement A CAUTION CAUTION: Installers must follow all assembly and curing information referenced within this manual when installing Viking Plastics Blaze - master® CPVC fire sprinkler products. Failure to follow this instruction could cause improper curing, resulting in product damage, property damage, severe personal injury and/or death. CAUTION: Read and understand all instructions prior to assembly. Follow all instructions. Failure to follow instructions during joining and testing may result in pipe failure, clogged waterways, or leakage. Cutting CPVC pipe can be easily cut with a ratchet cutter, a wheel -type plastic tubing cutter, a power saw or a fine toothed saw. Tools used to cut CPVC must be designed for plastic use and must be in good condition in accordance with the tool manufacturer's recommendations. It is important to cut the pipe square. A square cut provides the surface of the pipe with maximum bonding area. NOTICE NOTICE: Care must be exercised if using ratchet cutters as they may split the pipe if not properly used and maintained. • Only use ratchet cutters that contain a sharp blade (blades dull quickly) • Only use ratchet cutters at temperatures of 50°F (10°C) or warmer • Only use well -maintained, good quality ratchet cutters capable of consistently cutting the pipe squarely Failure to follow any of the above directions may result in leakage or property damage. If any indication of damage or cracking is evident at the pipe end, cut off at least 2 inches (50 mm) beyond any visible crack. -35- Deburrina & Bevelin Burrs and filings can prevent proper contact between pipe and fitting during assembly, and must be removed from the outside and the inside of the pipe. A chamfering tool or a file is suitable for this purpose. A slight bevel (approximately 10' to 15°) shall be placed at the end of the pipe to ease entry of the pipe into the socket. This will minimize the chance that the edges of the pipe will wipe solvent cement from the fitting socket during the insertion of the pipe. Solvent Cement Application A CAUTION CAUTION: Prior to using CPVC solvent cements, review and follow all precautions found on the container labels, material safety data sheet, and Standard Practice for Safe Handling ASTM F 402. Failure to follow precautions may result in injury. Using a clean, dry rag, wipe loose dirt and moisture from the fitting socket and pipe end. Moisture can slow the cure time and at this stage of assembly, excessive water can reduce joint strength. The pipe should enter the fitting socket easily one-third to two- thirds of the way. Contact between the pipe and fitting is essential in making a good joint. This contact allows the solvent cement (which is applied in the next step) to effectively join the pipe and fitting. Use a dauber that is properly sized for the pipe. For 3/4 inch (DN20) and 1 inch (DN25) pipe, use a dauber that is 1/2 inch (DN12) in size. For 1-1/4 inch (DN32) through 3 inch (DN80) pipe, use a dauber that is 3/4 inch (DN20) in size. Only use solvent cements that have been specifically formulated and listed/approved for use with CPVC fire sprinkler systems and approved by the pipe and fitting manufacturers. -36- Vigorously apply a heavy, even coat of cement to the outside pipe end. Apply a medium coat to the fitting socket. sd� l Pipe sizes 1-1/4 inch (DN32) and above shall always receive a second cement application on the pipe end. FIRST APPLY CEMENT ON THE PIPE END, THEN IN THE FITTING SOCKET, AND, FINALLY, ON THE PIPE END AGAIN. NOTICE NOTICE: Too much solvent cement can cause clogged waterways or weaken the wall of the pipe or fitting and result in pipe failure or leakage. DO NOT allow excess cement to puddle in the pipe and fitting assembly. To prevent this puddling, apply a lighter coating of solvent cement to the inside of the fitting socket than to the outside of the pipe. Wipe off excess cement from the outside of the joint. The solvents will evaporate, but the solvent cement inside the fitting will stay there. Special care shall be exercised when assembling CPVC fire sprinkler systems in temperatures below 40°F (4°C). In colder temperatures extra time must be allowed for the solvent cement to set and cure. Extra care should be taken to prevent damaging -37- the pipe during handling. When solvent welding pipe and fittings in colder temperatures, make certain that the cement has not become lumpy or has "gelled". Gelled cement must be discarded. At temperatures above 80°F (27°C) make sure both surfaces to be joined are still wet with cement during assembly. Higher temperatures and/or wind accelerate the evaporation of the volatile solvents in the cement. Pipe stored in direct sunlight may have surface temperatures 20°F to 30°F above the air temperature. If possible store the pipe and fittings, or, at least, the ends to be solvent welded, out of the direct sunlight prior to cementing. The solvents will penetrate hot surfaces more deeply. In conditions like this it is very important to avoid puddling the solvent cement inside the fitting socket. Assembly After applying cement, immediately insert the pipe into the fitting socket, while rotating the pipe one -quarter turn until the pipe bottoms out at the fitting stop. Properly align the fitting for the installation at this time. Pipe must bottom to the stop. Hold the assembly for 30 seconds to ensure initial bonding. A bead of solvent cement should be evident around the pipe and fitting juncture. If this bead is not continuous around the socket shoulder, it may indicate that insufficient cement was applied. If insufficient cement is applied, the fitting must be cut out and discarded. Cement in excess of the bead should be wiped off with a rag. NOTICE NOTICE: Failure to allow sprinkler fitting joints to cure before installing sprinklers may result in cement in the sprinkler waterway. • Install sprinkler heads only after all the CPVC pipe and fittings, including the sprinkler adapters, are solvent welded and allowed to cure for a minimum of 30 minutes. • Do not install sprinklers in the fittings prior to the fittings being cemented in place. Exercise care when installing sprinklers. Allow sprinkler head fittings and previously joined fittings to cure for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to installing the sprinkler. When installing sprinklers, be sure to anchor or hold the pipe drop securely to avoid rotating the pipe in previously cemented connections. -38- NOTICE NOTICE: Too much solvent cement can cause clogged waterways. • Visually inspect sprinkler fittings to ensure that the waterway and threads are clear of any excess cement. • Once the installation is complete and cured per Table I, II or III, hydrostatically test the system. Set & Cure Times NOTICE NOTICE: Inadequate curing of solvent cement joints may cause pipe failure, clogged waterways, or leakage. Solvent cement set and cure times are a function of pipe size, temperature, relative humidity, and tightness of fit. Curing time is faster for smaller pipe sizes, higher temperatures, drier environments, and tighter fits. Cure times should be increased when moisture is present such as during cut -ins to live sprinkler lines. (NOTE: A specific procedure for modifications or repairs to existing CPVC fire sprinkler lines is included in this manual.) The assembly must be allowed to set, without any stress on the joint, for 1 to 5 minutes, depending on pipe size and temperature. Following the initial set period, the assembly can be handled carefully, avoiding significant stresses to the joint. Refer to Tables I, II, and III for minimum cure times prior to pressure testing.

WARNING: ALLOW THE CEMENT TO CURE ACCORDING TO THE TIMES LISTED IN THE CHARTS FOR THE PIPE SIZE AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. THESE CURE TIMES HAVE BEEN TESTED AND APPROVED FOR VIKING PLASTICS BLAZEMASTER° CPVC FIRE SPRINKLER PRODUCTS. DO NOT INSTALL ANY SPRINKLER HEADS UNTIL THE PIPING SYSTEM HAS CURED FOR A MINIMUM OF THIRTY (30) MINUTES. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PRODUCT DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. System Acceptance Testing (Hydrostatic Pressure Test) WARNING: NEVER USE AIR OR COMPRESSED GAS FOR SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE TESTING (HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE TEST). SYSTEM FAILURE WHEN USING COMPRESSED AIR OR GAS FOR SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE TESTING MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH. Once an installation is completed and joints are properly cured per preceding recommendations, the system should be pressure tested with water at 200 psi (13.8 bar) for 2 hours. See Table II for curing conditions at 200 psi (13.8 bar). The system should be pressure tested with water at 50 psi (3.4 bar) in excess of maximum pressure when the maximum system pressure is to be maintained in excess of 150 psi (10.3 bar). See Table I for curing conditions at 225 psi (15.5 bar). This requirement is in accordance with the requirements established by NFPA Standard 13, Section 24.2.1 (2007, 2010). Sprinkler systems in one- and two-family dwellings and mobile homes may be pressure tested with water at line pressure, after following Table III curing conditions, in accordance with the requirements established by NFPA 13D, Section 4.3 (2007) or Section 4.2 (2010). When pressure testing, the sprinkler system shall be slowly filled with water and the air bled from the highest and farthest sprinkler heads before pressure testing is applied. Air must be removed from piping systems (plastic or metal) to prevent it from being locked in the system when pressure is applied. Entrapped air can generate excessive surge pressures that can result in bodily injury and/or property damage, regardless of the piping materials used. If a leak is found, the fitting must be cut out and discarded. A new section can be installed using couplings or a union. Unions should be used in accessible areas only. Solvent Cement Requirements The following guidelines provide an estimate of the quantities of one-step solvent cement that you will need to complete the assembly. -41- Nominal Fitting Number of Number of Size (Metric) Joints Per Quart Joints Per Liter 3/4" 270 285 (20 mm) 1 180 190 (25 mm) 1-1/4" 130 137 (32 mm) 1-1/2" 100 106 (40 mm) 2 70 74 (50 mm) 2-1/2 50 53 (65 mm) 3 40 42 (80 mm) Threaded Connections Viking Plastics recommends the use of a quality PTFE tape, having a thickness of .0025" or greater and meeting or exceeding military specification MIL-T-27730A for all threaded connections. The use of other thread sealants may result in damage to the Viking Plastics BlazeMaster®CPVC Fire Sprinkler Products. Thread sealants which carry the FGGG/BM® System compatible mark have been determined to be chemically compatible with Viking Plastics BlazeMaster® CPVC pipe and fittings. NOTE: Starting with the first full thread and continuing over the entire threaded length, making sure that all the threads are covered, wrap PTFE tape in the direction of the threads. For sprinkler head adapters, 2-3 wraps of tape are sufficient. For female adapters transitioning to metal pipe 3-4 wraps are sufficient. WARNING: CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID OVER TORQUING — GENERALLY 1 TO 2 TURNS BEYOND FINGER TIGHT IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED TO MAKE UP A THREADED CONNECTION. FACTORY TESTING HAS INDICATED 10-25 FT. LBS. (13.6 — 33.9 NM) OF TORQUE IS ADEQUATE TO OBTAIN A LEAK FREE SEAL. NIBCO RECOMMENDS THE USE OF A STRAP WRENCH WHEN MAKING UP THREADED CONNECTIONS. OVER - TIGHTENING MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PRODUCT DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. Sprinkler head adapters are manufactured with a brass threaded insert to provide a high strength, heavy duty fitting for threaded connections with male metal threads. Sprinkler heads shall be installed only after all the fire sprinkler -42- pipe fittings, including the sprinkler head adapters, are solvent welded to the piping and have been allowed to cure as recommended in the cure chart. Plastic threaded plugs are available for use in pressure testing. The sprinkler head fittings should be visually inspected or probed with a wooden dowel, to insure the waterway and threads are clear of any excess cement A CAUTION CAUTION: It is an unacceptable practice to assemble sprinklers into the head adapter fittings and then solvent cement them to the drop. NOTICE NOTICE: Use only compatible solvent cement. Incompatible products may result in product failure and property damage. WARNING: CUTTING OILS AND SOME THREAD SEALANTS USED IN METAL PIPE THREADING CAUSE STRESS CRACKING IN CPVC MATERIALS. ALL CUTTING OILS MUST BE REMOVED AND THE METAL PIPE THOROUGHLY FLUSHED AND DEGREASED PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY WITH CPVC SYSTEMS. VIOLATION OF THIS WARNING MAY CAUSE SYSTEM FAILURE AND/OR PRODUCT DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND MAY RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. Cut -In Procedures for Svstem Modification or Repairs At times it may become necessary to make modifications to existing CPVC fire sprinkler systems. This can be done safely by a qualified installer or contractor when the proper procedures are followed. The following procedure has been developed to assure that the modifications are done successfully. PRIOR TO MAKING SYSTEM CUT -INS ON EXISTING SYSTEMS, CARE SHOULD BE USED TO REVIEW PROPER JOINING PROCEDURES AND TO FOLLOW CUT -IN CURE SCHEDULES TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST SYSTEM INTEGRITY. Several methods can be utilized to tie into an existing system using a socket style tee fitting in combination with the use of socket unions, grooved coupling adapters, and flanges. Regardless of the method used, the following procedure must be followed to ensure the highest integrity: Existing lines must be drained adequately prior to solvent cementing. Use a Drain Vac unit to be sure all water is removed from the system (moisture can slow the cure time and reduce joint strength). -43- 2. The cut -in connection to the existing system should be made first, prior to proceeding with additional work. 3. Carefully review and follow manufacturers solvent cementing procedures for proper joining techniques prior to commencing with cut -in (pipe must be cut square to proper length, deburred, beveled and dry to ensure proper insertion depth and highest integrity). 4. Carefully measure and cut pipe to proper length to ensure complete insertion during assembly (check the interference fit of the components being joined). 5. Using proper tools, the cut -in should be made on the smallest diameter pipe section (that is capable of adequately supplying the system changes) in close proximity to the modification being made. This approach will expedite cure times prior to pressure testing. 6. During assembly of the cut -in tee (and other components) it is important to make a 1/4 turn when inserting the pipe into the fitting per the manufacturer's assembly instructions, particularly on 1-1/2 inch (40 mm) pipe sizes and larger. This may require the use of several components assembled in combination with the cut -in tee to create as short spool piece assembly. This can be accomplished by using socket unions, flanges, or grooved coupling adapters that will ensure that a 1/4 turn can be obtained on all pipe connections being joined. 7. Prior to applying the solvent cement use a clean dry rag to wipe moisture and dirt from the fitting socket and the pipe end (the presence of moisture on the joining surfaces will reduce joint integrity). 8. Use a new can of cement when making cut -in connections (verify expiration dates stamped on can prior to use). 9. After all work is completed, the cut -in joints must be allowed to cure properly prior to pressure testing as follows: Cut -Ins (Minimum Cure Prior To Pressure Testing) Ambient Temperature During Cure Nominal Pipe 607 to 120°F >_ 40°F >_ 0°F Size (Metric) (16° C to 490 C) (> 4.4° C) (>_ -17.8° C) 3/ 1 hour 4 hour 48 hour 20 DN 1 1-1/2 hour 4 hour 48 hour DN25 1-1/4" & 1-1/2" 3 hour 32 hour 10 days (DN32 & DN40) 8 hour 48 hour See Caution (DNSo) Below 2-1/2" & 3" 24 hour 96 hour See Caution (DN65 & DN80) Below A CAUTION CAUTION: Solvent cement can be applied at temperatures below 40°F (4.4°C) for 2 inch (50 mm) sizes and larger, however the temperature of the system must be raised to 40oF (4.4°C) or higher and allowed to cure per the above recommendations prior to pressure testing. When bringing cement, pipe or fittings in from the outside, be sure they are brought up to room temperature before using the 60°F (16' C) to 120°F (49°C) cure schedule. (Also reference Note 1.) 10. After work is completed and cut -in cure times are met, inspect work for proper alignment and hanger placement prior to pressure testing. 11. After cut -in cure times are met, the system must be slowly filled with water and the air bled from the furthest and highest sprinkler heads before test pressure is applied (refer to manufacturer's installation instructions regarding Hydrostatic Testing). 12. After cut -in cure times are met and the air is bled from the system, it is recommended that the portion of the sprinkler system containing the cut -in tee be pressure tested. Prior to pressure testing, the system must be sectioned off to its smallest area using floor valves, etc., to isolate the cut -in area. It is further recommended that the test pressure applied should not exceed 50 psi (345 kPa) over the system pressure. This approach will minimize the potential for water damage should a leak occur. WARNING: AIR OR COMPRESSED GAS MUST NEVER BE USED FOR PRESSURE TESTING. VIOLATION OF THIS WARNING MAY CAUSE SYSTEM FAILURE AND/OR PRODUCT DAMAGE, AND MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. Painting Pipe & Fittings Water based acrylic latex paint is the preferred and recommended paint to use on BlazeMaster° pipe and fittings. Consult with local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) prior to covering any markings on Viking Plastics CPVC pipe. WARNING: THE UL AND C-UL LISTING DOES NOT COVER PAINTED CPVC FIRE SPRINKLER PIPING PRODUCTS. USE OF CERTAIN PAINTS, SUCH AS OIL -BASED, CAN DAMAGE CPVC FIRE SPRINKLER PIPING PRODUCTS.BEFORE PAINTING ANY CPVC FIRE SPRINKLER PIPING PRODUCTS, -45- YOU MUST CONSULT WITH YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION FOR RESTRICTIONS, OR CONTACT VIKING PLASTICS FOR PAINTING RECOMMENDATIONS. VIOLATION OF THIS WARNING MAY CAUSE SYSTEM FAILURE AND/OR PRODUCT DAMAGE, AND MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH.

However, some hangers designed for steel pipe may be used if their suitability is clearly established. -47- A CAUTION CAUTION: These hangers must have a minimum 1/2 inch (13 mm) load -bearing surface, and they must be selected to accommodate the specific pipe size. In addition, they cannot contain rough or sharp edges that contact the pipe, and they must not bind the pipe from axial movement. Vertical runs must be supported so that the weight of the run is not on a fitting or a joint. Horizontal runs must be braced so that the stress loads (caused by bending or snaking pipe) will not be placed on a fitting or a joint. Support spacing is shown in the following table. See "Pipe Deflection" in this manual for information regarding bending or snaking CPVC Fire Sprinkler Pipe. NFPA 13D permits "support methods comparable to those required by local plumbing codes." These hanger support requirements must also be followed on NFPA 13D systems. Table A - Standard Support Spacing Nominal Size, Max.

Pipe hanger must comply with NFPA 13, 13D and 13R. A CAUTION CAUTION: When a sprinkler head activates, a significant reactive force can be exerted on the pipe. With a pendent head, this reactive force can cause the pipe to lift vertically if it is not secured properly, especially if the sprinkler drop is from small diameter pipe. The pipe must be braced against vertical lift -up with the closest hanger. Refer to the following illustration and Tables B & C.

Table cr MyCistenca � � � between supports � Support Spacing Drop Elbow and Drop Tee Numerous common methods are used to brace fire sprinkler pipe. Acceptable methods include, but are not limited to, the following: • Use of a standard band hanger by positioning the threaded support rod to 1/16 inch (2 mm) above the pipe (however, it is important that the rod does not contact the pipe). •A wrap around U-hanger. •A special escutcheon which prevents upward movement of the sprinkler through the ceiling or band hangers with surge restraints to provide surge protection for the system. Pipe hangers are available that are tested and UL Listed for fire sprinkler service. These hangers comply with NFPA 13 requirements for use with CPVC fire sprinkler piping systems. The following descriptions are examples of these. Band Hanger - designed to support CPVC piping systems when used in conjunction with a hanging steel threaded rod that is suspended from a ceiling or other flat, horizontal surface. The threaded rod must be leveled properly before installing the hanger and restraint. Surge Restraint - when installed with the band hanger, as shown below, provides surge protection for the system. One Hole Wrap -Around Strap - designed to support CPVC piping systems only when the hanger tab is in the vertical position, and the screw -type fastener is in the horizontal position. The one -hole strap can be used as a pipe restrainer when the hanger tab is in the downward position, but it cannot be used as a hanger to hold any weight of the system. In addition, the one - hole strap can be used as a piping system guide when the -50- system lies on top of the beam, and the beam supports the system's weight. A CAUTION CAUTION: The one -hole strap is not intended to support the CPVC piping system from under a ceiling or any other flat, horizontal surface. For this application, install a two -hole strap. (,1 dric Hanger Two -Hole Strap - designed to support CPVC piping systems when attached to a flat, horizontal surface with the screw -type fasteners in the vertical position. In addition, the two -hole strap is designed to support CPVC piping systems when attached to a flat, vertical surface with one mounting tab in the vertical position and the screw -type fasteners in the horizontal position. The two - hole strap can be used as a piping system guide when the system lies on top of a beam, and the beam supports the system's weight. Two -Hole 90°Side Mount Strap - designed to support CPVC piping systems when attached to a horizontal beam with the screw -type fasteners in the horizontal position and the pipe hanging below the beam. The fastener's mounting edges are designed to allow the screws to be installed horizontally. This is a benefit when overhead clearance is limited. In addition, the 90' side mount strap can be used in a restrainer fashion when it is -51- attached to the top of a beam, and the system lies on top of the beam. Riser SuK)1)orts Risers must be supported by pipe clamps or by hangers located on the horizontal connection close to the riser. Only Listed hangers and clamps can be used. Vertical lines must be supported at intervals to avoid placing excessive load on a fitting at the lower end. This can be done by using riser clamps or double -bolt pipe clamps listed for this service. A I CAUTION CAUTION: Hangers and supports must not compress, distort, cut, or abrade the piping, and they must allow free movement of the pipe for thermal expansion and contraction. DO NOT use riser clamps that squeeze the pipe and depend on compression of the pipe to support the weight. Maintain vertical piping in straight alignment with supports at each floor level or 10-foot (3.05 m) intervals, whichever is less. CPVC risers in vertical shafts or buildings with ceilings over 25 feet (7.62 m) must be aligned straight and supported at each floor level or 10-foot (3.05 m) intervals, whichever is less. Clamps must not exert compressive stresses on the pipe. If possible, the clamps should be located directly below a coupling so that the shoulder of the coupling rests against the clamp. A coupling can be modified to achieve this by cutting a CPVC coupling just above the stop at the socket bottom. Then, cut this piece in half lengthwise to provide two halves that do not contain the stop. Follow the "Solvent Cement Welding Instructions" to cement the two halves to the pipe at the required location, and make sure that the shoulder of the modified coupling rests on the clamp. Allow the assembly to cure before placing any stress on the joint. -52- WARNING: CPVC PIPE AND/OR SYSTEM COMPONENTS MUST NOT BE USED TO PROVIDE STRUCTURAL SUPPORT FOR THE SYSTEM. CARE SHOULD BE USED WHEN INSTALLING, HANGING, OR BRACING TO PREVENT UNNECESSARY STRESS LOADS ON THE CPVC PIPING SYSTEM. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN CAUSE PRODUCT FAILURE AND MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. Earthquake Bracing Since CPVC fire sprinkler plastic piping is more ductile than metallic sprinkler pipe, it has a greater capacity to withstand earthquake damage. In areas subject to earthquakes, CPVC fire sprinkler systems should be designed and braced in accordance with national, state and local codes including NFPA Standard 13. Pipe Deflection Viking Plastics Blazemaster® CPVC fire sprinkler piping is inherently ductile allowing it to be deflected, within permissible limits, around or away from objects during installation, which can reduce installation time. This ductility allows for greater freedom of design and lower installed cost. The maximum installed deflections for BlazeMaster° piping are as follows: Lft.

Direct contact with concrete does not have any adverse chemical effect on BlazeMaster materials. The following installation practices shall be followed. 1. As the BlazeMaster pipe is laid out it shall not come into contact with sharp objects or edges, such as rocks, metal, or structural members. Any open pipe ends shall be protected from debris or concrete getting into the system. When laying out BlazeMaster pipe it is best to use straight runs of pipe. However, CPVC pipe is inherently ductile and it is possible for CPVC pipe to be snaked when it is laid out. This can be useful in some installations when some offset from a straight run can be helpful in avoiding various construction obstacles. Straight runs of pipe will minimize any stress that is exerted on the pipe. When the pipe is embedded in concrete there is not opportunity to relieve any stress once the concrete is poured. Therefore, it is important to layout the piping such that the stress is minimized from the time of installation. (see Pipe Deflection section for allowable deflection) 3. Avoid the contact of BlazeMaster pipe and fittings with construction materials that are incompatible with CPVC. Verify the suitability of a product for use with CPVC with the manufacturer of the chemical additive to confirm chemical compatibility. BlazeMaster CPVC pipe and fittings have been successfully installed encased in concrete for many years. Lubrizol is unaware of any problems that have been caused by chemical incompatibility between BlazeMaster pipe and fittings and concrete or any chemicals that have been added to concrete. Since new construction materials are regularly introduced to the market, however, you may have questions regarding the compatibility of the products you're using. To help ensure a successful installation, Lubrizol recommends contacting the manufacturer of the chemical to confirm chemical compatibility. Steps must be taken to prevent the wire mesh or reinforcing bars from causing any abrasion damage to the BlazeMaster pipe and fittings (see Handling and Storage section). This is mostly of concern prior to pouring the concrete. BlazeMaster pipe and fittings shall not be installed in concrete that is to be post tensioned. The post tensioning process can create excessive forces which can damage the BlazeMaster piping system. 5. When there are pipe joints that will be covered in concrete, the installation shall be pressure tested prior to pouring the concrete. If there will not be any joints covered by concrete, there is no need to pressure test the system prior to pouring the concrete. Prior to the pouring of the concrete, the BlazeMaster pipe shall be intermittently secured to prevent movement during this process. Nonabrasive, plastic fasteners are good choices for this application. When hangers are used, most metal hangers designed for metal pipe are suitable for BlazeMaster pipe. Do not use undersized hangers. Hangers with sufficient load bearing surface shall be selected based on pipe size, i.e., 1 % inch hangers for 1 inch pipe. The hanger shall not apply compressive load or have rough or sharp edges that come into contact with the pipe. Care shall be taken so that the BlazeMaster pipe and fittings are not damaged by the tools and equipment used to pour and finish the concrete. All standard methods of pouring concrete onto the ceiling construction with concrete pumps or concrete containers followed by compaction with vibrators can be used in combination with BlazeMaster sprinkler systems. BlazeMaster pipe and fittings shall not come into contact with equipment such as tampers and agitators. 8. As the concrete is poured, assure that the pipe has not moved from its intended positioning. Thermal expansion and contraction is not an issue for BlazeMaster pipe and fittings that are embedded in concrete. Those forces are relieved in a manner that does not affect the pipe or fittings. However, expansion and contraction shall be incorporated in the design of those sections of pipe that are not embedded in concrete. Failure to adequately allow for stress at these points may result in damage to the pipe where it enters and exits the concrete. NOTICE It is recommended that when transitioning from embedded to not embedded in concrete that 6 inches of 1 inch compatible foam pipe insulation be installed around the embedded pipe. -61- NIKJNG* Viking Plastics 202 Industrial Drive Huntsville, AL 35811 877-384-5464 www.vikinggroupinc.com © Copyright 2018 Viking Plastics All Rights Reserved.
