ceiling may be standard bronze upright or pendant as required. Sprinkler heads located in areas
with lay-in acoustical ceilings shall be centered in lay-in acoustical unit.
B. Screw Jointed: Cut pipe accurately to measurements established at building. Work into place
without springing or forcing. Proper provision shall be made for expansion and contraction of
piping. Pipe and fittings shall be free from burrs and fins. All pipe shall be threaded and reamed.
Apply lubricant to male threads only. Full cut thread and no more than three threads shall remain
exposed on the pipe after threading.

combination of couplings, gaskets and grooves. Grooves cut or rolled on pipe shall be
dimensionally compatible with the coupling.
G. Freeze Protection: All wet sprinkler system piping and components shall be located inside of
building insulation systems so building heating system will prevent piping from freezing or shall
