General
Description
The Series TY-B (5 mm Bulb) and
TY-FRB (3 mm Bulb), 10 mm orifice
Upright and Pendent Sprinklers are
automatic sprinklers of the frangible
bulb type. They are spray sprinklers
intended for use in fire sprinkler sys-
tems designed in accordance with the
installation rules recognized by the ap-
plicable Approval agency. The TY-B
(5 mm Bulb) is rated standard re-
sponse, while the TY-FRB (3 mm Bulb)
is rated quick response. Both the Up-
right and Pendent Sprinklers produce
a hemispherical water distribution pat-
tern below the deflector.
WARNINGS
The Series TY-B & TY-FRB Sprinklers
described herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the National Fire Pro-
tection Association, in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may
impair the integrity of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted
relative to 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, which then allows the
sprinkler to activate and water to flow.
Design
Criteria
TheSeriesTY-B&TY-FRB,10mm
Orifice, Pendent and Upright Sprin-
klers are intended for fire protection
systems designed in accordance with
the standard installation rules recog-
nized by the applicable Approval
agency. The sprinklers are only for
non-recessed applications.
Installation
The Series TY-B & TY-FRB Sprinklers
must be installed in accordance with
the following instructions:
NOTES
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler if
the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of
liquid from the bulb. With the sprinkler
held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch
(1,6 mm) for the 135°F/57°C to 3/32
inch (2,4 mm) for the 360°F/182°C
temperature ratings.
A leak tight ISO 7/1-R3/8 sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 8
to 16 Nm. A maximum of 25 Nm of
torque may be used to install sprin-
klers. Higher levels of torque may dis-
tort the sprinkler inlet with consequent
leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant ap-
plied 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 Series TY-B & TY-FRB Sprinklers
must be maintained and serviced in
accordance with the following instruc-
tions:
NOTES
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.
Sprinklers that are found to be leaking
or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion
must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
shipped or stored where their tempera-
ture will exceed 100°F/38°C and they
must never be painted, plated, coated
or otherwise altered after leaving the
factory. Modified sprinklers must be re-
placed. Sprinklers that have been ex-
posed to corrosive products of com-
bustion, but have not operated, should
be replaced if they cannot be com-
pletely cleaned by wiping the sprinkler
with a cloth or by brushing it with a soft
bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid dam-
age to the sprinklers - before, during,
and after installation. Sprinklers dam-
aged by dropping, striking, wrench
twist/slippage, or the like, must be re-
placed. Also, replace any sprinkler that
has a cracked bulb or that has lost
liquid from its bulb. (Ref. Installation
Section).
The owner is responsible for the in-
spection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and de-
vices in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in
addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. The in-
stalling contractor or sprinkler manu-
facturer should be contacted relative to
any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected,
tested, and maintained by a qualified
Inspection Service.
