IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER
WARNING” that provides cau-
tions with respect to handling and
installation of sprinkler systems and
components. Improper handling and
installation can permanently dam-
age 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
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Upright (TY315) and Pendent (TY325)
Sprinklers 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,
reneries, and chemical plants.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-B Pendent Sprinkler, where appli-
cable, is intended for use in areas with a
nished ceiling. This recessed pendent
sprinkler uses one of the following:
•
A two-piece Style 15 Recessed
Escutcheon with recessed adjust-
ment up to 5/8 inch (15,9 mm) from
the ush pendent position.
•
A two-piece Style 20 Recessed
Escutcheon with recessed adjust-
ment up to 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) from
the ush pendent position.
The adjustment provided by the
Recessed Escutcheon reduces the
accuracy to which the xed pipe drops
to the sprinklers must be cut.
Intermediate level versions of Series
TY-B Sprinklers are described in
Technical Data Sheet TFP352. Sprinkler
guards and shields are described in
Technical Data Sheet TFP780.
NOTICE
The Series TY-B Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and maintained
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the National Fire Protection Associa-
tion, in addition to the standards of any
other authorities having jurisdiction.
Failure to do so may impair the perfor-
mance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted with
any questions.

Operation
The glass bulb contains a uid which
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
uid expands sufciently to shatter the
glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to ow.
Design
Criteria
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Upright (TY315) and Pendent (TY325)
Sprinklers are intended for re protec-
tion systems designed in accordance
with the standard installation rules
recognized by the applicable 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 the FM Loss Preven-
tion Data Sheets). Only the Style 15
or Style 20 Recessed Escutcheon, as
applicable, is to be used for recessed
pendent installations.
Installation
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Upright (TY315) and Pendent (TY325)
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with this section.
General Instructions
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 NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained by applying a
minimum-to-maximum torque of 7 to 14
ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). Higher levels
of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for
insufcient adjustment in the escutch-
eon plate by under- or over-tightening
the sprinkler. Readjust the position of
the sprinkler tting to suit.
Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
The Series TY-B Upright and Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions.
Step 1. Install pendent sprinklers in
the pendent position; install upright
sprinklers in the upright position.
Step 2. With pipe-thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand-
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
tting.

Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Figure 2). With
reference to Figure 1, apply the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench to the wrench ats.
Torque sprinklers 7 to 14 ft.-lbs. (9,5 to
19,0 Nm).
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
The Series TY-B Recessed Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions.
Step A. After installing the Style 15 or
Style 20 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 tting.
Step B. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type
7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Figure
3). With reference to Figure 1, apply the
W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench
to the sprinkler wrench ats. Torque
sprinklers 7 to 14 ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0
Nm).
Step C. After the ceiling is installed or
the nish coat is applied, slide on the
Style 15 or Style 20 Closure over the
Series TY-B Sprinkler and push the
Closure over the Mounting Plate until
its ange contacts the ceiling.
Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Upright (TY315) and Pendent (TY325)
Sprinklers must be maintained and ser-
viced in accordance with this section.
Before closing a re protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the re protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected re protection
system from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
Absence of the outer piece of an
escutcheon, which is used to cover
a clearance hole, can delay sprinkler
operation in a re situation.
The owner must assure that the
sprinklers are not used for hanging
any objects and that the sprinklers are
only cleaned by means of gently dust-
ing with a feather duster; otherwise,
non-operation in the event of a re or
inadvertent operation may result.
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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 dam-
age to the sprinklers - before, during,
and after installation. Sprinklers dam-
aged by dropping, 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.)
Thereafter, annual inspections per
NFPA 25 are required; however, instead
of inspecting from the oor level, a
random sampling of close-up visual
inspections should be made.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their re protection system and devices
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the National Fire Protection Associa -
tion (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Contact the installing
contractor or sprinkler manufacturer
regarding any questions.
Automatic sprinklers are recommended
to be inspected, tested, and maintained
by a qualied Inspection Service in
accordance with local requirements
and/or national codes.
