Tyco Fire Product TFR MAX User manual

General
Description
The Model TFP MAX, 5.6 K-factor, In-
stitutional Pendent Sprinklers are
quick response - standard coverage,
spray sprinklers designed for use in
areas such as correctional, detention,
and mental health care facilities.
The unique features of the Model TFP
MAX provide a tamper resistant sprin-
kler design that helps eliminate the
opportunity for individuals to injure
themselves or others with components
of a fire sprinkler. At the same time, the
Model TFP MAX optimizes an aes-
thetically appealing flush design that
conceals most of the operating parts,
and provides added protection for the
heat sensitive glass bulb element.
WARNING
The Model TFP MAX Institutional Pen-
dent Sprinklers described herein must
be installed and maintained in compli-
ance with this document, as well as
with the applicable 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 per-
formance 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 manufac-
turer should be contacted with any
questions.

Operation
In the standby condition, the design of
the Model TFP MAX is such that a
dynamic load of 75 lbs. (34 kg) or more
applied to the linkage mechanism will
release the sprinkler. Also, when
properly installed, the escutcheon is
held fast to the ceiling to deter its re-
moval. The shape of the escutcheon
cannot be grasped easily, which fur-
ther deters tampering.
A glass bulb operating element is pro-
tected within the linkage mechanism of
the Model TFP MAX.The bulb contains
a fluid that expands when exposed to
heat. When the rated temperature is
reached, the fluid expands sufficiently
to shatter the glass bulb. Shattering of
the glass bulb releases the linkage
mechanism that holds the sprinkler
closed, allowing the deflector to extend
downward and water to flow.

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 in-
stallation 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.

Design
Criteria
The 5.6 K-factor, Model TFP MAX (SIN
TY3291) Institutional Pendent Sprin-
klers are intended for use with fire pro-
tection systems designed in accord-
ance with the standard installation
rules recognized by the applicable
Listing or Approval agency (e.g., UL
Listing is based on NFPA 13 require-
ments).
Only the Institutional Escutcheons
shown in Figure 2 can be utilized with
the Model TFP MAX, and only a maxi-
mum of three Model 1752 Spacers can
be utilized with Style D or E Institu-
tional Escutcheons when vertical ad-
justment is desired.
NOTE
Integrity of the tamper resistant design
of the Institutional Escutcheons is de-
pendent on the piping installation de-
sign. When installed properly, the In-
stitutional Escutcheon is held fast to
the mounting surface by the tightening
of the sprinkler assembly into the
sprinkler fitting. In order to accomplish
a proper installation, the sprinkler fit-
ting must be properly located with re-
spect to distance from the face of the
sprinkler fitting to the face of the
mounting surface (Ref. Fig. 2); the
sprinkler fitting being rigidly secured
and held immobile; and, the centerline
of the sprinkler fitting being perpen-
dicular to the mounting surface to as-
sure that the escutcheon sits squarely
against the mounting surface around
the entire perimeter of the Institutional
Escutcheon.
Installation
The 5.6 K-factor, Model TFP MAX
Sprinklers must be installed in accord-
ance with the following instructions:
NOTES
Refer to the Design Criteria section for
important information regarding the
piping installation design and its effect
on maintaining the integrity of the tam-
per resistant design of the Institutional
Escutcheons.
If the bulb within the linkage mecha-
nism is cracked or there is a loss of
liquid from the bulb, do not install the
sprinkler. With the bulb in the horizon-
tal position, an air bubble of approxi-
mately 1/16 inch (1,6 mm) diameter
should be present.
A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 7
to 14 ft.lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). A maxi-
mum of 21 ft.lbs. (28,5 Nm) of torque
is to be used to install these sprinklers.
Higher levels of torque may distort the
sprinkler inlet with consequent leak-
age or impairment of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for im-
proper location of the sprinkler fitting
by under- or over-tightening the sprin-
kler. Readjust the position of the sprin-
kler fitting to suit, or increase or de-
crease the number of Model 1752
Spacers, as applicable.
After the installation is complete, make
certain that the Institutional Escutch-
eon is held fast to the mounting sur-
face and that it sits squarely against
the ceiling around its entire perimeter.
Step 1. The TFP MAX Sprinklers must
be installed pendent and with the cen-
terline of their waterway perpendicular
to the ceiling.
Step 2. With the Institutional Escutch-
eon in place and with pipe thread
sealant applied to the pipe threads,
hand tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting.
Step 3. Wrench tighten the Sprinkler
using only the Model 1509-3 Sprin-
kler Wrench (Ref. Fig. 4). The wrench-
ing teeth of the Sprinkler Wrench are
to be applied to the sprinkler wrench-
ing notch areas (Ref. Fig. 1).
Step 4. After the installation is com-
plete, make certain that the Institu-
tional Escutcheon is held fast to the
mounting surface and that it sits
squarely against the ceiling around its
entire perimeter.

Care and
Maintenance
The 5.6 K-factor, Model TFP MAX
Sprinklers must be maintained and
serviced in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions:
NOTES
Service inspections should be made
on a regular basis to detect possible
damage or alterations to the sprinkler
and escutcheon. Inspections should
include making certain that the Institu-
tional Escutcheon is held fast to the
mounting surface. Damaged or altered
sprinklers are to be replaced immedi-
ately to avoid personal injury and to
prevent use for causing personal in-
jury, as well as to maintain the sprin-
kler system in an operative condition.
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 systems must
be obtained from the proper authori-
ties and all personnel who may be
affected by this action must be notified.
Sprinklers which are found to be leak-
ing or exhibiting visible signs of corro-
sion 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 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 in accordance with
local requirements and/or national
codes.
