IMPORTANT
Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
regulatory and health information.
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER
WARNING” that provides cautions
with respect to handling and instal-
lation of sprinkler systems and com-
ponents. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its compo-
nents and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

General
Description
The TYCO Type IFP AQUAMIST
Recessed Nozzle Fittings are stain-
less steel fittings which house the
TYCO Type AM10 and Type AM31
AQUAMIST Nozzles. These fittings are
designed to accommodate the Type
AM10 and AM31 nozzles for industrial
fryer primary cooking area applica-
tions. The fitting and nozzle combina-
tion is integrated with a tethered cap
assembly. The cap conceals the nozzle
which separates from the fitting during
system discharge but remains attached
by a length of chain.
It is recommended that the end user
be consulted with respect to the suit-
ability of the materials of construction
for any given corrosive environment.
The effects of ambient temperature,
concentration of chemicals, and gas/
chemical velocity should be consid-
ered, at a minimum, along with the cor-
rosive nature to which the nozzles may
be exposed.
For further details on Type AM10 and
Type AM31 nozzles, refer to Technical
Data Sheets TFP2210 for Type AM10
Nozzle and TFP2202 for Type AM31
Nozzle.
NOTICE
The Type IFP AQUAMIST Recessed
Nozzle Fittings described herein must
be installed and maintained in compli-
ance with this document and with the
applicable standards of the NATIONAL
FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION
(NFPA), in addition to the standards
of any authorities having jurisdiction.
Failure to do so may impair the perfor-
mance of these devices.
The design of individual watermist
systems can vary considerably,
depending on the characteristics and
nature of the hazard and the basic
purpose of the watermist system.
Because of these variations, the design
of watermist systems for fire protec-
tion must only be performed by expe-
rienced designers who thoroughly
understand the limitations as well as
capabilities of such systems.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or nozzle manufacturer with any
questions.

Installation
The TYCO Type IFP AQUAMIST
Recessed Nozzle Fittings must be
installed in accordance with this
section.
General Instructions
A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT Nozzle joint
should be obtained by applying a
minimum-to-maximum torque of 7 to
14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N·m). Higher levels
of torque can distort the nozzle inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of
the nozzle.
NOTICE
The Type AM10 or AM31 AQUAMIST
Nozzle may be factory assembled with
a Recessed IFP Fitting and Cap. If the
nozzles have been pre-assembled,
proceed to Step 5.
Step 1. Prepare nozzle by applying
TEFLON paste thread sealant to pipe
threads.
Step 2. Assemble nozzle with Cap
Assembly. Engage nozzle wrench boss
by Link flanges shown in Figures 1 and
2.
Step 3. Hand tighten nozzle into IFP
fitting until nozzle diffuser is located
3/16 inch (4,8 mm) minimum from face
of fitting.
Step 4. Tighten nozzle into fitting
using only W-Type 29 Wrench (Figure
5). Guide wrench arm slots over nozzle
frame arms, guide Cap Retention Chain
through wrench chain slot, and engage
Link flanges by wrench tines.
NOTICE
The Recessed IFP Fitting and Cap
may be factory assembled with a Type
AM10 or AM31 AQUAMIST Nozzle. If
pre-assembled, ensure the cap is dis-
lodged from the fitting exposing the
nozzle to facilitate proper orientation
and alignment. Observe nozzle orien-
tation and chain alignment notices pre-
ceding Step 7.
Step 5. From equipment interior, insert
IFP Fitting (NPT Threaded or Socket-
Weld) through clearance hole until
flange is flush against interior surface
of hood and hold in place.
Step 6. Install one Washer and Locknut
on 1-1/2 NPS threaded portion of fitting
extending through exterior of hood.
Tighten Locknut and ensure fitting
flange is flush against interior surface
of hood.
NOTICE
To facilitate effective nozzle tighten-
ing it may be necessary to immobilize
the IFP fitting by applying appropriate
wrench to fitting wrench flats.
For proper installation ensure the
Nozzle Frame Arms are aligned per
Technical Data Sheet TFP2240.
For proper installation ensure Cap
Retention Chain is aligned with nozzle
frame arm on low side of hood slope as
applicable (Figures 3 and 4).
Ste p 7. Insert the chain into the Cap
and snap cap into IFP fitting. Ensure
fitting groove is fully engaged by Cap
dimples.

Step 8. Connect system pipe or fitting.
• Threaded Fitting Installations
(Figure 1) - With TEFLON paste
sealant applied to IFP Fitting pipe
threads, connect system tting. A
leak-tight 3/4 inch NPT tting joint
should be obtained by applying
minimum-to-maximum torque of
10 to 20 lb-ft (13,4 to 26,8 N·m).
Higher levels of torque can distort
the Fitting inlet with consequent
leakage of Fitting or impairment of
Nozzle.
• Socket-Weld Fitting Installations
(Figure 2) - Insert prepared end of
3/4 Inch system pipe into IFP Fitting
weld socket until fully engaged.
Weld full circumference of pipe at
juncture with face of IFP Fitting
weld socket.
Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Type IFP AQUAMIST
Recessed Nozzle Fittings must be
maintained and serviced in accordance
with this section.
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected fire protection
system from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
Type IFP AQUAMIST Recessed Nozzle
Fittings must never be painted, plated,
coated or altered in any way after
leaving the factory; otherwise, the
spray performance may be impaired.
Care must be exercised to avoid
damage to the nozzles -before, during,
and after installation. Nozzles damaged
by dropping, striking, wrench twist/slip-
page, or the like, must be replaced.
Frequent visual inspections are rec-
ommended to be initially performed
for nozzles installed in potentially cor-
rosive atmospheres to verify the integ-
rity of the materials of construction and
finish as they may be affected by the
corrosive conditions present for a given
installation. Thereafter, annual inspec-
tions per NFPA 25 are required.
The owner is responsible for the inspec-
tion, testing, and maintenance of their
fire protection system and devices in
compliance with this document, as well
as with the applicable standards of the
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSO-
CIATION (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to
the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. Contact the install-
ing contractor or nozzle manufacturer
with any questions.
Water spray fixed systems should be
inspected, tested, and maintained by
a qualified Inspection Service in accor-
dance with local requirements and/or
national codes
If the Cap does not remain in place on
the Fitting, it is recommended that the
Link/Cap Subassembly be replaced.
