Tyco Fire Product TY-B Series User manual

General
Description
TheSeriesTY-B,5.6K-factor,Hori-
zontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers
described in this data sheet are stand-
ard response - standard coverage,
decorative 5 mm glass bulb type spray
sprinklers designed for use in light and
ordinaryhazard,commercialoccupan-
cies such as banks, hotels, shopping
malls, etc. They are designed for in-
stallation along a wall or the side of a
beam and just beneath a smooth ceil-
ing. Sidewall sprinklers are commonly
used instead of pendent or upright
sprinklers due to aesthetics or building
construction considerations, where
piping across the ceiling is not desir-
able.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-B Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler is
intended for use in areas with a fin-
ished wall. Ituses a two-piece Style10
Recessed Escutcheon. The Recessed
Escutcheon provides 1/2 inch (12,7
mm) of recessed adjustment or up to
3/4 inch (19,1 mm) of total adjustment
from the flush sidewall position. The
adjustment provided by the Recessed
Escutcheon reduces the accuracy to
which the fixed pipe nipples to the
sprinklers must be cut.
Corrosion resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the
life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond
that which would otherwise be ob-
tained when exposed to corrosive at-
mospheres. Although corrosion resis-
tantcoatedsprinklershave passed the
standard corrosion tests of the appli-
cable approval agencies, the testing is
not representative of all possible cor-
rosive atmospheres. Consequently, it
is recommended that the end user be
consulted with respect tothe suitability
of these coatings for any given corro-
sive environment. The effects of ambi-
ent temperature, concentration of
chemicals, and gas/chemical velocity,
should be considered, as a minimum,
along with the corrosive nature of the
chemicaltowhichthe sprinklerswill be
exposed.
WARNINGS
The Series TY-B Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and main-
tained in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association, in addition to the
standards ofany other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may
impair the performance of these de-
vices.
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
with any questions.

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, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.

Installation
The Series TY-B Sprinklers must be
installed in accordance with the follow-
ing 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 1/2 inch NPTsprinkler 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
may be used to install sprinklers with
1/2 NPT connections. Higher levels of
torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of
the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for insuffi-
cient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
The Series TY-B Horizontal and Ver-
tical Sidewall Sprinklers must be in-
stalled in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions.
Step 1. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers
are to be installed in the horizontal
position with their centerline of water-
wayperpendiculartothebackwall and
parallel to the ceiling. The word “TOP”
on the Deflector is to face towards the
ceiling.
Vertical sidewall sprinklers are to be
installed in the pendent or upright po-
sition with the arrow on the Deflector
pointing away from the wall.

Step 2. With pipe thread sealant ap-
plied 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
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 4),
except that an 8 or 10 inch adjustable
Crescent wrench is to be used for wax
coated sprinklers. With reference to
Figure 1 or 2, the W-Type 6 Sprinkler
Wrench or the Crescent wrench, as
applicable, is to be applied to the
wrench flats.
When installing wax coated sprinklers
with the adjustable Crescent wrench,
additional care needs to be exercised
to prevent damage to the wax coating
on the sprinkler wrench flats or frame
arms and, consequently, exposure of
bare metal to the corrosive environ-
ment. The jaws of the wrench should
be opened sufficiently wide to pass
over the wrench flats without damag-
ing the wax coating. Before wrench
tightening the sprinkler, the jaws of the
wrench are to be adjusted to just con-
tact the sprinkler wrench flats. After
wrenchtighteningthesprinkler,loosen
the wrench jaws before removing the
wrench.
After installation, the sprinkler wrench
flats and frame arms must be in-
spected and the wax coating re-
touched (repaired) whenever the coat-
ing has been damaged and bare metal
is exposed. The wax coating on the
wrench flats can be retouched by gen-
tly applying a heated 1/8 inch diameter
steel rod to the areas of wax that have
been damaged, to smooth it back over
areas where bare metal is exposed.
NOTES
Only retouching of the wax coating ap-
plied to the wrench flats and frame
arms is permitted, and the retouching
is to be performed only at the time of
the initial sprinkler installation.
The steel rod should be heated only to
the point at which it can begin to melt
the wax, and appropriate precautions
need to be taken, when handling the
heated rod, in order to prevent the
installer from being burned.
The Series TY-B Recessed Horizon-
tal Sidewall Sprinklers must be in-
stalled in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions.
Step A. Recessed horizontal sidewall
sprinklers are to be installed in the
horizontal position with their centerline
of waterway perpendicular to the back
wall and parallel to the ceiling. The
word “TOP” on the Deflector is to face
towards the ceiling.
Step B. After installing the Style 10
Mounting Plate over the sprinkler
threads, hand tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting.
Step C. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.
Figure 5). With reference to Figure 1,
the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler
Wrenchisto beapplied to the sprinkler
wrench flats.
Step D. After the ceiling has been in-
stalled or the finish coat has been ap-
plied, slide on the Style 10 Closure
over the Series TY-B Sprinkler and
push the Closure over the Mounting
Plate until its flange comes in contact
with the ceiling.

Care and
Maintenance
The Series TY-B Sprinklers must be
maintained and serviced in accord-
ance with the following instructions:
NOTES
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system that
itcontrols,permissiontoshutdownthe
affectedfireprotectionsystemmustbe
obtained from the proper authorities
and all personnel who may be affected
by this action must be notified.
The owner must assure that the sprin-
klers are not used for hanging of any
objects; otherwise, non-operation in
theeventof afire orinadvertentopera-
tion may result.
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 be
painted, plated, coated or otherwise
altered after leaving the factory. Modi-
fied 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 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,replaceanysprinklerthat
has a cracked bulb or that has lost
liquid from its bulb. (Ref. Installation
Section).
Frequent visual inspections are rec-
ommendedtobeinitiallyperformedfor
corrosion resistant coated sprinklers,
after the installation has been com-
pleted, to verify theintegrity of the cor-
rosion resistant coating. Thereafter,
annual inspections per NFPA 25
should suffice; however, instead of in-
specting from the floor level, a random
sampling of close-up visual inspec-
tions should be made, so as to better
determine the exact sprinkler condi-
tion and the long term integrity of the
corrosion resistant coating, as it may
be affectedby the corrosive conditions
present.
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.
