General
Description
The TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series
LFII Residential Flush Horizontal Side-
wall Sprinklers (TY2384) are decorative,
fast response, fusible solder sprinklers
designed for use in residential occu-
pancies such as homes, apartments,
dormitories, and hotels. When aes-
thetics is the major consideration, the
Series LFII Sprinklers (TY2384) should
be the first choice.
The Series LFII Residential Sprinklers
(TY2384) are intended for use in the fol-
lowing scenarios:
• wet-pipe residential sprinkler sys-
tems for one- and two family dwell-
ings and manufactured homes per
NFPA 13D;
• wet-pipe residential sprinkler sys-
tems for residential occupancies up
to and including four stories in height
per NFPA 13R
• wet-pipe sprinkler systems for the
residential portions of any occu-
pancy per NFPA 13
The flush design of the Series LFII Resi-
dential Sprinklers (TY2384) features a
separable escutcheon providing 3/16
in. (4,8 mm) horizontal adjustment. This
adjustment reduces the accuracy to
which the pipe nipples to the sprinklers
must be cut to help assure a perfect fit
installation.
The Series LFII Residential Sprinklers
(TY2384) have been designed with heat
sensitivity and water distribution char-
acteristics proven to help in the control
of residential fires and to improve the
chance for occupants to escape or be
evacuated.
NOTICE
The Series LFII Residential Flush Hori-
zontal Sidewall Sprinklers (TY2384)
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with
this document and with the applicable
standards of the NATIONAL FIRE PRO-
TECTION ASSOCIATION, in addition to
the standards of any 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 sprinkler assembly contains a
small fusible solder element. When
exposed to sufficient heat from a fire,
the solder melts and enables the inter-
nal components of the sprinkler to fall
away. At this point the sprinkler acti-
vates with the deflector dropping into
its operated position (Ref. Figure 1C),
permitting water to flow.

Design
Criteria
The TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series
LFII Residential Flush Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinklers (TY2384) are UL
and C-UL Listed for installation in
accordance with this section.
Residential Sprinkler Design Guide
When conditions exist that are outside
the scope of the provided criteria, refer
to the Residential Sprinkler Design
Guide TFP490 for the manufacturer’s
recommendations that may be accept-
able to any authority having jurisdiction.
System Type
Only wet-pipe systems may be utilized.
Ceiling Type
Smooth flat horizontal, or beamed, or
sloped, in accordance with the 2013
Edition of NFPA 13D, 13R, or 13 as
applicable.
Hydraulic Design
(NFPA 13D and 13R)
For systems designed to NFPA 13D or
NFPA 13R, the minimum required sprin-
kler flow rate are given in Table A as a
function of temperature rating and the
maximum allowable coverage areas.
The sprinkler flow rate is the minimum
required discharge from each of the
total number of design sprinklers as
specified in NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R.
Hydraulic Design
(NFPA 13)
For systems designed to NFPA 13, the
number of design sprinklers is to be
the four most hydraulically demanding
sprinklers. The minimum required dis-
charge from each of the four sprinklers
is to be the greater of the following:
• The flow rates given in Table A for
NFPA 13D and 13R as a function of
temperature rating and the maximum
allowable coverage area.
• A minimum discharge of 0.1 gpm/ft2
over the design area comprised of
the four most hydraulically demand-
ing sprinklers for the actual cover-
age areas being protected by the
four sprinklers.
Obstruction to Water Distribution
Sprinklers are to be located in accor-
dance with the obstruction rules of
NFPA 13D, 13R, and 13 as applicable
for residential sprinklers as well as with
the obstruction criteria described within
the Technical Data Sheet TFP490.
Operational Sensitivity
The sprinklers are to be installed in the
flush position per Figure 1 with the pro-
vided escutcheon.
In addition the top-of-deflector-to-ceil-
ing distance is to be within the range
(Ref. Table A) being hydraulically
calculated.
Sprinkler Spacing
The minimum spacing between sprin-
klers is 8 ft (2,4 m). The maximum
spacing between sprinklers cannot
exceed the length of the coverage
area (Ref. Table A) being hydrau-
lically calculated (e.g., maximum
12 ft for a 12 ft x 12 ft coverage area, or
16 feet for a 16 ft x 16 ft coverage area).
Precautionary Warnings for
Corrosive Environments
The Series LFII Residential Flush Hor-
izontal Sidewall Sprinkler (TY2384)
must be installed in a non-corrosive
environment. The improper use of cor-
rosive agents such as flux, or other
products that contain chloride ions,
whether applied internally or externally
to the sprinkler system, may result
in corrosion of the sprinkler head, or
stress corrosion cracking, which in
turn may cause the sprinklers heads to
develop leaks, operate unexpectedly,
or not operate properly.
Accordingly, it is essential that the
Series LFII Residential Flush Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinkler (TY2384) be installed
only by experienced fire sprinkler engi-
neers, who comply fully with NFPA 13,
13D, 13R and 25, ASTM B 813, ASTM
B 828 and Copper Development Asso-
ciation (CDA).

Copper sprinkler system piping
Any time copper piping is used in any
part of a fire sprinkler system, the
copper piping must be installed in con-
formance with all applicable standards
and requirements for copper piping,
including: NFPA 13, 13D, 13R and 25,
ASTM B 813, ASTM B 828, and Copper
Development Association (CDA). Any
soldering in any part of a sprinkler
system, either internally or externally,
must be done with use of only an
ASTM B 813 approved flux. Residual
flux must be thoroughly removed from
both the interior and exterior surfaces
of the piping before installing the sprin-
kler heads. The use of improper flux,
or the failure to thoroughly remove
proper flux, may result in corrosion of
the sprinkler head or stress cracking,
which in turn may cause the sprinkler
heads to develop leaks, operate unex-
pectedly, or not operate properly.
Installation
The TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series
LFII Residential Flush Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinklers (TY2384) must
be installed in accordance with this
section:
General Instructions
The Protective Cap is to remain on the
sprinkler during installation until the
ceiling installation is complete. The
Protective Cap must be removed to
place the sprinkler in service.
A leak-tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler 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 sprinkler Inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for
insufficient adjustment in the sprinkler
by under- or over-tightening the Sprin-
kler/Support Cup Assembly. Re-adjust
the position of the sprinkler fitting to
suit.
Each sprinkler must be inspected
before installation. Do not use any
sprinkler that exhibits any deformations
or cracks, including cracks on the pro-
tective cap.
Step 1. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers
must be installed only in the horizontal
position with their centerline of water-
way perpendicular to the backwall and
parallel to the ceiling. The top of the
deector is to face towards the ceiling,
as depicted in Figure 1B, with the front
edge of the deector parallel to the
ceiling.
Step 2. Install the sprinkler tting so
that the distance from the face of the
tting to the mounting surface will be
nominally 3/4 in. (19,1 mm) as shown
in Figure 1A.
Step 3. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
tting.
Step 4. Wrench tighten the sprin-
kler using only the Sprinkler Socket
or Wrench & Socket Combination
(Ref. Figure 2). The wrench recess of
the socket is to be applied to the sprin-
kler wrenching area (Ref. Figure 1A).
The Sprinkler Wrench must be correctly
aligned to slide over the Protective Cap.
After the leading edge of the Sprinkler
Wrench passes over the flat portion of
the Protective Cap, it must be rotated
and realigned to engage with the sprin-
kler wrenching area.
Conversely to remove the Sprinkler
Wrench, sufficiently pull the Sprinkler
Wrench so that it disengages from the
sprinkler wrenching area, and then
rotate the Sprinkler Wrench so that it
can pass over the Protective Cap.
Step 5. Use the “backwall tolerance
limit” indicator (Ref. Figure 1A) on the
Protective Cap to check for proper
installation depth. The finished wall
surface must line up within the 3/16 in.
(4,8 mm) range of the “backwall tol-
erance limit”. Figure 1A illustrates the
finished wall surface at the mid-point
of the “backwall tolerance limit”. Relo-
cate the sprinkler fitting as necessary. If
desired the Protective Cap may also be
used to locate the center of the clear-
ance hole. Apply chalk to the center
point of the Cap and then gently touch
the wall material against the center
point of the Cap.
Step 6. After the wall has been com-
pleted with the 2-1/4 in. (57,2 mm)
diameter clearance hole, use the Pro-
tective Cap Removal Tool (Ref. Figure
3) to remove the Protective Cap and
then push on the Escutcheon until its
flange comes in contact with the wall.
If the Escutcheon cannot be engaged
sufficiently to contact the wall and/or
the Escutcheon cannot be engaged per
Figure 1C (i.e., 3/16 in. (4,8 mm) to flush
with respect to the face of the sprinkler
body), relocate the sprinkler fitting.

Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series
LFII Residential Flush Horizontal Side-
wall Sprinklers (TY2384) must be main-
tained 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 protec-
tion system from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
Absence of an Escutcheon Plate may
delay the time to sprinkler operation in
a fire situation. This outer piece of the
escutcheon is used to cover a clear-
ance hole.
The owner must assure that the sprin-
klers are not used for hanging any
objects and that the sprinklers are only
cleaned by means of gently dusting
with a feather-duster. Otherwise, non-
operation in the event of a fire or inad-
vertent operation may result.
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 otherwise
altered after leaving the factory. Modi-
fied or overheated 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 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.
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.
