General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-fac-
tor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick
Response described in this technical
data sheet are quick response, stan-
dard coverage, decorative 3 mm glass
bulb type spray sprinklers. These sprin-
klers are intended to be installed either
pendent or upright, and in either posi-
tion, they produce a spherical water
discharge pattern with approximately
50% of the discharge directed upwards
and approximately 50% of the dis-
charge directed downwards.
Conventional sprinklers are generally
used with Ordinary and Extra High
Hazard Class Systems, as defined by
the automatic sprinkler system instal-
lation rules of the country and author-
ity having jurisdiction. The NATIONAL
FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION
(NFPA) permits the use of “Old Style
Sprinklers” where special construction
features require a unique water distri-
bution; for the protection of fur vaults;
or, the replacement of similar sprinklers
that had been installed prior to 1955.
NOTICE
The Series TY-FRB Sprinklers de-
scribed herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the appli-
cable 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 these devices.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.

Operation
The glass bulb contains a fluid which
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.
Design

Installation
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-fac-
tor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick
Response must be installed in accor-
dance with this section.
General Instructions
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler
if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin-
kler held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 in.
(1,6 mm) for the 135°F (57°C) to 3/32 in.
(2,4 mm) for the 286°F (141°C) tempera-
ture ratings.
A leak-tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 7 to
14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N∙m). Higher levels
of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.
Step 2. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2).
With reference to Figure 1, the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the wrench flats.
Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-fac-
tor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick
Response must be maintained and ser-
viced 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
systems from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
Sprinklers which are found to be
leaking or exhibiting visible signs of
corrosion must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated, or other-
wise altered after leaving the factory.
Modified sprinklers must be replaced.
Sprinklers that have been exposed to
corrosive products of combustion, but
have not operated, should be replaced
if they cannot be completely cleaned
by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or
by brushing it with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid
damage to the sprinklers before,
during, and after installation. Sprin-
klers damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must
be replaced. Also, replace any sprinkler
that has a cracked bulb or that has lost
liquid from its bulb. Refer to the Instal-
lation section for additional information.
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 product manufacturer
with any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
