General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-FRL, 2.8, 5.6,
and 8.0 K-factor, Upright and Pendent
Sprinklers described in this data sheet
are quick response, standard coverage,
solder type spray sprinklers designed
for use in light and ordinary hazard
commercial occupancies such as
banks, hotels, shopping malls, schools,
hospitals, etc.
The recessed version of the 2.8 and 5.6
K-factor, Series TY-FRL Pendent Sprin-
kler, where applicable, is intended for
use in areas with a finished ceiling. It
uses a two-piece Style 20 (1/2 in. NPT)
Recessed Escutcheon. The Recessed
Escutcheon provides 1/4 in. (6,4 mm)
of recessed adjustment or up to 1/2 in.
(12,7 mm) of total adjustment from the
flush pendent position. The adjustment
provided by the Recessed Escutcheon
reduces the accuracy to which the fixed
pipe drops to the sprinklers must be
cut.
An intermediate level version of the
5.6 and 8.0 K-factor, Series TY-FRL
Pendent Sprinkler can be obtained by
utilizing the Series TY-FRL Pendent
Sprinkler in combination with the Model
S4 Shield.

Operation
The fusible link (heat collector) assem-
bly is comprised of two halves that
are joined together by a thin layer of
solder. When the rated temperature is
reached, the solder melts and the two
link halves separate, allowing the sprin-
kler to operate.
Design Criteria
The TYCO Series TY-FRL Pendent
and Upright Sprinklers are intended
for fire protection systems designed in
accordance with the standard installa-
tion rules recognized by the applicable
Listing or Approval agency (e.g., UL
Listing is based on the requirements
of NFPA 13, and FM Approval is based
on the requirements of FM’s Loss Pre-
vention Data Sheets). Only the Style 20
Recessed Escutcheon, as applicable,
is to be used for recessed pendent
installations.
Installation
The TYCO Series TY-FRL Sprinklers
must be installed in accordance with
this section.
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). A leak
tight 3/4 in. NPT sprinkler joint should
be obtained with a torque of 10 to 20
lb-ft (13,4 to 26,8 N·m). Higher levels
of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for insuf-
ficient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under-or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
Series TY-FRL Pendent and Upright
Sprinkler Installation
The Series TY-FRL Pendent and
Upright Sprinklers must be installed in
accordance with this section.
Step 1. Pendent sprinklers are to be
installed in the pendent position, and
upright sprinklers are to be installed in
the upright position.
Step 2. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.
Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
9 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 6).
With reference to Figures 1, 2, and 3,
the W-Type 9 Sprinkler Wrench is to be
applied to the wrench area.

Series TY-FRL Recessed Pendent
Sprinkler Installation
The Series TY-FRL Recessed Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions.
Step A. After installing the Style 20
Mounting Plate, as applicable, over the
sprinkler threads and with pipe thread
sealant applied to the pipe threads,
hand tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting.
Step B. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
12 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.
Figure 7). With reference to Figure 1,
or 2, the W-Type 12 Recessed Sprinkler
Wrench is to be applied to the sprinkler
wrenching flanges.
Step C. After the ceiling has been
installed or the finish coat has been
applied, slide on the Style 20 Escutch-
eon over the Series TY-FRL Sprinkler
and push the Escutcheon over the
Mounting Plate until its flange comes
in contact with the ceiling.

Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-FRL Sprinklers
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, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection system must be
obtained from the proper authorities
and all personnel who may be affected
by this action must be notified.
Absence of an escutcheon, which is
used to cover a clearance hole, may
delay the time to sprinkler operation in
a fire situation.
Sprinklers that are found to be leaking
or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion
must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated or otherwise
altered after leaving the factory. Modi-
fied or over-heated sprinklers must be
replaced.
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.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, 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
sprinkler systems be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
