IMPORTANT
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
TYCO Model ESFR-22 Pendent Sprin-
klers are Early Suppression, Fast
Response Sprinklers having a nominal
K-factor of 22.4 (Ref. to Figure 1). They
are suppression-mode sprinklers that
are especially advantageous as a
means of eliminating the use of in-rack
sprinklers when protecting high-piled
storage.
The Model ESFR-22 Sprinklers are pri-
marily used for ceiling-only sprinkler
protection of (but not limited to) the
following storage applications:
• most encapsulated or non-encap-
sulated common materials including
cartoned, unexpanded plastics
• uncartoned (exposed) expanded
plastics in accordance with NFPA 13
and FM Global standards
• some storage arrangements of
rubber tires, roll paper, flammable
liquids, and aerosols
For more specific criteria, refer to Table
1 as well as the applicable design
standard.
The Model ESFR-22 can protect a
storage arrangement of 40 ft. (12,2 m)
with a ceiling height of 45 ft. (13,7 m)
without requiring in-rack sprinklers.
In addition, it can be installed with a
maximum deflector-to-ceiling distance
of 18 inches (460 mm).

Design
Criteria
The following general guidelines pro-
vided for the TYCO Model ESFR-22
Pendent Sprinklers can be used for a
quick reference.
The National Fire Protection Associa-
tion (NFPA) and FM Global (FM Approv-
als) provide installation standards that
must be used to properly design an
automatic sprinkler system utilizing
Early Suppression, Fast Response
(ESFR) Sprinklers. The guidelines pro-
vided by NFPA and FM Approvals may
differ. Consequently, the appropri-
ate standard must be used for a given
installation.
In all cases, the appropriate NFPA or
FM Approvals installation standard
must be referenced to ensure applica-
bility and to obtain complete installa-
tion guidelines. The following general
guidelines are not intended to provide
complete installation criteria.
In addition to this technical data sheet,
the following Technical Data Sheets
describe other TYCO ESFR Sprinklers:
• TFP312 – Model ESFR-25 (TY9226)

tion (e.g., smooth ceiling, bar joists,

klers in each channel formed by the
structural members.

dards permit a greater coverage area.

Maximum Spacing
• 12 feet (3,7 m) for building heights up
to 30 feet (9,1 m)
• 10 feet (3,1 m) for building heights
greater than 30 feet (9,1 m); in some
cases, installation standards permit
a greater spacing

Operation
The fusible link assembly is com-
prised of two link 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, activating the sprinkler and
flowing water.
Installation
TYCO Model ESFR-22 Pendent Sprin-
klers must be installed in accordance
with this section.
General Instructions
Damage to the fusible Link Assem-
bly during installation can be avoided
by handling the sprinkler by the frame
arms only (i.e., do not apply pressure
to the fusible Link Assembly), and by
using the appropriate sprinkler wrench.
Failure to do so can lead to an unstable
link assembly and premature activation
of the sprinkler. Damaged sprinklers
must be replaced.
A leak-tight 1 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a min-
imum-to-maximum torque of 20 to 30
ft.-lbs. (26,8 to 40,2 Nm). Higher levels
of torque can distort the sprinkler inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Note: Install the Model ESFR-22 Pendent
Sprinkler in the pendent position (Ref.
Figure 2).
Step 1. With pipe-thread sealant
applied, hand-tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting. Do not apply pres-
sure to the Link Assembly, and handle
the Model ESFR-22 Pendent Sprinkler
only by the Frame arms.
Step 2. Use only the W-Type 32 Sprin-
kler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2) to install
the Model ESFR-22 Pendent Sprinkler.
Fully engage (seat) the wrench recess
on the sprinkler wrench flats (Ref.
Figure 1) and wrench-tighten.
Step 3. After installation, remove
the Protective Sprinkler Cap and
inspect the Link Assembly of each
Model ESFR-22 Pendent Sprinkler for
damage. In particular, verify that the
Link Assembly and Hook are positioned
as illustrated in Figure 1, and that the
Link Assembly is not bent, creased,
or forced out of normal position in any
way. Replace damaged sprinklers.

Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Model ESFR-22 Pendent Sprin-
klers 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.
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.
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 authorities having
jurisdiction. Contact the installing con-
tractor or product manufacturer with
any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems are rec-
ommended to be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
