General
Description
The Series TY-B, K40, K80 and K115 Upright
and Pendent Sprinklers described in this
data sheet are standard response - standard
coverage, decorative 5 mm glass bulb type
spray sprinklers designed for use in light,
ordinary, or extra hazard, commercial oc-
cupancies such as banks, hotels, shopping
malls, factories, reneries, chemical plants,
etc.
The recessed version of the Series TY-B
Pendent Sprinkler, where applicable, is in-
tended for use in areas with a nished ceil-
ing. It uses a two-piece Style 10 (1/2” NPT)
or Style 40 (3/4”NPT) Recessed Escutcheon.
The Recessed Escutcheon provides 12,5
mm (1/2”) of recessed adjustment or up
to 19 mm (3/4”) of total adjustment from
the ush pendent position.The adjustment
provided by the Recessed Escutcheon al-
lows the pipe drops to the sprinkler to be
cut less accurately.
Corrosion resistant coatings, where applica-
ble, are utilized to extend the life of copper
alloy sprinklers beyond that which would
otherwise be obtained when exposed to
corrosive atmospheres. Although corrosion
resistant coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the applicable
approval agencies, the testing is not rep-
resentative of all possible corrosive atmos-
pheres. Consequently, it is recommended
that the end user be consulted with respect
to the suitability of these coatings for any
given corrosive environment. The eects
of ambient temperature, concentration
of chemicals, and gas/chemical velocity,
should be considered, as a minimum, along
with the corrosive nature of the chemical to
which the sprinklers will be exposed.
An intermediate level version of the Series
TY-B Pendent Sprinkler can be obtained by
utilizing the Series TY-B Pendent Sprinkler
in combination with the Model S2 Shield.
WARNINGS
The Series TY-B 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 ju-
risdiction. Failure to do so may impair the
performance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintaining their
re protection system and devices in proper
operating condition. The installing contrac-
tor or sprinkler manufacturer should be con-
tacted with any questions.
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP700 for the “INSTALLER WARNING”
that provides cautions with respect to
handling and installation of sprinkler
systems and components. Improper
handling and installation can perma-
nently damage a sprinkler system or
its components and cause the sprin-
kler to fail to operate in a re situa-
tion or cause it to operate prematurely.

Description
The Series TY-B, 2.8, 5.6, and 8.0
K-factor, Upright and Pendent Sprin-
klers described in this data sheet are
standard response - standard cover-
age, decorative 5 mm glass bulb type
spray sprinklers designed for use in
light, ordinary, or extra hazard, com-
mercial occupancies such as banks,
hotels, shopping malls, factories, refin-
eries, chemical plants, etc.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-B Pendent Sprinkler, where appli-
cable, is intended for use in areas with
a finished ceiling. It uses a two-piece
Style 10 (1/2 inch NPT) or Style 40 (3/4
inch NPT) Recessed Escutcheon. The
Recessed Escutcheon provides 1/2
inch (12,7 mm) of recessed adjust-
ment or up to 3/4 inch (19,1 mm) of
total adjustment from the flush pen-
dent position. The adjustment provided
by the Recessed Escutcheon reduces
the accuracy to which the fixed pipe
drops 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-
tant coated sprinklers have 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 to the 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
chemical to which the sprinklers will be
exposed.
An intermediate level version of the
Series TY-B Pendent Sprinkler can be
obtained by utilizing the Series TY-B
Pendent Sprinkler in combination with
the Model S2 Shield.
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 of any 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.

Operation
The glass bulb contains a uid that expands
when exposed to heat.When the rated tem-
perature is reached, the uid expands su-
ciently to shatter the glass bulb, activating
the sprinkler and allowing water to ow.
Design Criteria
The Series TY-B Pendent and Upright Sprin-
klers are intendedforreprotection systems
designed in accordance with the standard
installation rules recognized by the ap-
plicable Listing or Approval agency (e.g.
UL Listing is based on the requirements of
NFPA 13, and FM Approval is based on the
requirements of FM’s Loss Prevention Data
Sheets). Only the Style 10 or 40 Recessed
Escutcheon, as applicable, is to be used for

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 Pendent and Up-
right Sprinklers must be installed in
accordance with the following instruc-
tions.
Step 1. Pendent sprinklers are to be
installed in the pendent position, and
upright sprinklers are to be installed in
the upright position.
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 7),
except that an 8 or 10 inch adjustable
Crescent wrench is to be used for wax
coated sprinklers. With reference to
Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 the W-Type 7
Sprinkler Wrench or the adjustable
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
wrench tightening the sprinkler, 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 Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in ac-
cordance with the following instruc-
tions.
Step A. After installing the Style 10 or
40 Mounting Plate, as applicable, over
the sprinkler threads and with pipe
thread sealant applied to the pipe
threads, hand tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting.
Step B. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.
Figure 8). With reference to Figure 3
or 4, the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler
Wrench is to be applied to the sprinkler
wrench flats.
Step C. After the ceiling has been in-
stalled or the finish coat has been ap-
plied, slide on the Style 10 or 40 Clo-
sure over the Series TY-B Sprinkler
and push the Closure over the Mount-
ing Plate until its flange comes in con-
tact 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
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.
The owner must assure that the sprin-
klers are not used for hanging of any
objects; otherwise, non-operation in
the event of a fire or inadvertent opera-
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
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, replace any sprinkler
that has a cracked bulb or that has lost
liquid from its bulb. (Ref. Installation
Section).
Frequent visual inspections are rec-
ommended to be initially performed for
corrosion resistant coated sprinklers,
after the installation has been com-
pleted, to verify the integrity 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 affected by 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.

over the wrench ats without damaging
the wax coating. Before wrench tightening
the sprinkler, the jaws of the wrench are to
be adjusted to just contact the sprinkler
wrench ats. After wrench tightening the
sprinkler, loosen the wrench jaws before
removing the wrench.
After installation, the sprinkler wrench ats
and frame arms must be inspected and the
wax coating retouched (repaired) whenev-
er the coating has been damaged and bare
metal is exposed. The wax coating on the
wrench ats can be retouched by gently
applying a heated 1/8 inch diameter (M3)
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 applied to
the wrench ats 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 tak-
en, when handling the heated rod, in order to
prevent the installer from being burned.
The Series TY-B Recessed Pendent Sprin-
klers must be installed in accordance with
the following instructions.
Step A. After installing the Style 10 or 40
Mounting Plate, as applicable, over the
sprinkler threads and with pipe thread seal-
ant applied to the pipe threads, hand tight-
en the sprinkler into the sprinkler tting.
Step B. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type 7
Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 8).
With reference to Figure 3 or 4, the W-Type
7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench is to be ap-
plied to the sprinkler wrench ats.
Step C. After the ceiling has been installed
or the nish coat has been applied, slide on
the Style 10 or 40 Closure over the Series
TY-B Sprinkler and push the Closure over
the Mounting Plate until its ange comes in
contact with the ceiling.
Care and
Maintenance

tained and serviced in accordance with the
following instructions:
NOTES
Before closing a re protection system main
control valve for maintenance work on the
re protection system that it controls, permis-
sion to shut down the aected re protection
systems must be obtained from the proper
authorities and all personnel who may be af-
fected by this action must be notied.
The owner must assure that the sprinklers are
not used for hanging of any objects; other-
wise, non-operation in the event of a re or
inadvertent operation may result.
Absence of an escutcheon, which is used to
cover a clearance hole, may delay the time to
sprinkler operation in a re situation.
Sprinklers that are found to be leaking or
exhibiting visible signs of corrosion must
be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be paint-
ed, plated, coated, or otherwise altered af-
ter leaving the factory. Modied 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. Sprinklers damaged by drop-
ping, striking, wrench twist/slippage, or
the like, must be replaced. Also, replace any
sprinkler that has a cracked bulb or that has
lost liquid from its bulb. (Ref. Installation
Section).
Frequent visual inspections are recom-
mended to be initially performed for corro-
sion resistant coated sprinklers, after the in-
stallation has been completed, to verify the
integrity of the corrosion resistant coating.
Thereafter, annual inspections per NFPA 25
should suce; however, instead of inspect-
ing from the oor level, a random sampling
of close-up visual inspections should be
made, so as to better determine the exact
sprinkler condition and the long term in-
tegrity of the corrosion resistant coating, as
it may be aected by the corrosive condi-
tions present.
The owner is responsible for the inspection,
testing, and maintenance of their re pro-
tection system and devices in compliance
with this document, as well as with the
applicable standards of the National Fire
Protection Association (e.g. NFPA 25), in ad-
dition to the standards of any other author-
ities having jurisdiction. The installing con-
tractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be
contacted relative to any questions.
It is recommended that automatic sprinkler
systems be inspected, tested, and main-
tained by a qualied Inspection Service in
accordance with local requirements and/or
national codes.
