1. Introduction & Scope:

1.1 This method of statement specifies the detailed requirement and comprehensive procedures for
Sprinklers installation works.

1.2 Applicable Project Specifications:

Mechanical Specifications Part A

Section: 21 13 00
Combined Fire Fighting System; sub section: 2.2 sprinkler heads
Standards – Civil Defense Authority and NFPA 13

2. Location of Activity:
Inside the building

3. Operation:
a. Materials
Materials to be used will be as approved by the Engineer and locations as per the approved shop
drawings and actual site condition.

b. Transportation & Storage at site:

Sprinklers should delivered to site in the standard manufacturers packing and must be handled
such that no damage to components, enclosure and finished can be avoided.
INSTALLATION OF SPRINKLER HEAD

1. All the sprinklers heads must be installed in accordance with NFPA 13 standard.
 2. The system piping must be properly sized according to the approved drawings and calculation
to insure the minimum required flow rate at the sprinkler head.

3. Install the sprinkler heads after the piping is in the place to avoid mechanical damage.

4. In the event of a thread leak, remove the unit apply new pipe Teflon tape and re install.

5. Hands tighten the sprinkler into the fitting using the proper size of wrench.

6. To install the escutcheon plate, align it with and press it over the sprinkler body until the outer
edge of the escutcheon meets the mounting surface.

7. For Testing and verification, after the hydro testing for the sprinkler system as per approved
method of statement for Pressure Testing the Fire Fighting Pipes, release the pressure and
water from the pipes then install the sprinkler heads. Apply pressure with water to the
sprinkler system pipes with maintaining pressure as per approved hydraulic calculation to
ensure and verified all sprinklers without any leakage of water. There will be a testing required
by consultant and ADCD to break and open sprinkler to see the flow of water to its coverage
area during inspection.
