' Instailation Wrenches: Throughout this technical builetin,Reliable has specified specific installation wrenches for use on each version of our sprinklers.A pipe wrench may also be used to instail a dry sprinkler provided that it only interfaces with the steel outer tube of the assembly(Item#8 on fig 16). Keep in mind that a oioe wrench will incorporate a large amount of toraue into the final assembly This tor�ue will have to be matched or exceeded u�on the sprinkler's removal at a later date. 11.
