Throughout this handbook, nominal pipe sizes are referred to in “ANSI
Inches” and “DN”. “ANSI Inches” is a nominal pipe size designation
derived from the older IPS (inside pipe diameter) in inches. Sizes offered
in ANSI Inches directly correlate to nominal pipe sizes recognized in ANSI
(American National Standard Institute) pipe standards. “DN” refers to
nominal pipe sizes in “diameter nominal” and is a dimensionless designator
for nominal pipe sizes in metric. Certain DN sizes (e.g., DN65, DN125, and
DN150) are offered in multiple actual outside diameters. Consequently,
when specifying by DN pipe size, the O.D. (outside diameter) must be
specified as well.
warning
It is the Designer’s responsibility to select products suitable for the intended
service and to ensure that pressure ratings and performance data are not
exceeded. Always read and understand the installation instructions. Never
remove any piping component nor correct or modify any piping deficiencies
without first depressurizing and draining the system. Material and gasket
selection should be verified to be compatible for the specific application.
The products described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance
with this document, as well as with the applicable standards of the National
Fire Protection Association, in addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair the performance
of this device.
The owner is responsible for maintaining their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condition. The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted with any questions.
