Installation
1-pc Head Guard installation can be accomplished without tools and can be
installed in the pendent* or upright position. Disengage both hooks
on either side of the guard. Spread the cage open just enough to clear the
sprinkler frame and deector being careful not to damage the sprinkler. Engage
the open end of the cage at the base of the sprinkler between the frame and the
threads. Reengage both hooks on either side of the sprinkler. 2-pc Head Guard

around the top thread of the sprinkler head closest to the frame. Close the base
plate around the thread. At the same time, hold the cage to the base plate until
the base plate engages the cage with its four tangs. Adjust the set screw until
base plate is rmly attached to the sprinkler.
