SECTION 9 WARDLOX

™

Introduced in 1983, the WARDLOX sprinkler connect

system is a fast, safe and effective way to join schedule

10 and 40 plain end pipe without threading or welding.

In addition to the performance benefits of threadless

sprinkler connect systems, the WARDLOX system is 100%

factory tested to prevent leaks and recalls.

WARDLOX has also been thoroughly field tested in a

variety of installations and is ideal for new construction

and retrofit. Designed to reduce the number of hands

required to install a total fire protection system,

WARDLOX features:

• Self-locking screws for quick and easy installation.

• Uniform 1⁄2 inch “take out” dimensions for accurate

onsite.

measurement and set screw placement engineered for-

ward of the gasket to eliminate risk of leakage

WARDLOX fittings and set screws are engineered to

provide a more positive locking action when the set

screw is tightened down to the boss on the fitting.

Providing maximum contact in the pipe, the bottom of the

set screw is convex and tapered. The 3/8 inch square

head set screw can be tightened with the same tool used

for affixing beam clamps.

The exclusive nylon “lock patch” on the cadmium plated

set screw prevents screw loosening caused by vibration

after fabrication and installation. Your sprinkler system

components can be fabricated in the shop; the fittings

will not shake loose during transport. Set screws are

pre-set at the factory so that field assembly requires only

one turn to tighten the head securely against the casting.

Installation in confined areas is fast and easy.
