Tyco EC-5 Series User manual

General
Description
The Series EC-5, Extended Coverage
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers are ex-
tended coverage, decorative 3 mm
glass bulb type spray sprinklers de-
signed for use in hydraulically calcu-
lated sprinkler systems in light hazard,
commercial occupancies such as
churches, restaurant seating areas,
hotels, educational facilities, offices,
etc. With their coverage up to 16 feet
(4,9 m) wide by 24 feet (7,3 m) long
and maximum deflector to ceiling dis-
tance of 18 inches (450 mm), they are
designed for installation along a wall or
the side of a beam and just beneath a
smooth and level ceiling. Horizontal
sidewall sprinklers are commonly used
instead of pendent or upright sprin-
klers due to aesthetics or building con-
struction considerations, where piping
across the ceiling is not desirable.
The fast response thermal sensitivity
rating of the Series EC-5, 3 mm Bulb
Type Sprinklers provides a quick re-
sponse extended coverage (QREC)
rating for many of the coverage areas
detailed in Tables B and C.
The recessed version of the Series
EC-5 Extended Coverage Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinkler utilizes a two-piece
Style 50 Recessed Escutcheon. The
Style 50 provides up to 3/8 inch (9,5
mm) of total adjustment from the flush
sidewall position. The adjustment pro-
vided by the Recessed Escutcheon re-
duces the accuracy to which the fixed
pipe lengths 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.
WARNINGS
The Series EC-5 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. Failuretodosomay
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.

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.

Operation
The glass 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, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.
Design
Criteria
The Series EC-5 Extended Coverage
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers must be
installed and utilized in Light Hazard
Occupancies, under smooth level ceil-
ings as outlined in the applicable in-
stallation standard recognized by the
Approval Agency (e.g., UL recognizes
NFPA 13, and FM recognizes the FM
Loss Prevention Data Sheets). Only
the Style 50 Recessed Escutcheon, as
applicable, is to be used for recessed
installations.
Installation
The Series EC-5 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).
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

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 EC-5 Sidewall Sprinklers
must be installed in accordance with
the following instructions.
Step 1. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers
are to be installed with their centerline
perpendicular to the back wall and par-
allel to the ceiling. The word “TOP” on
the deflector is to face towards the
ceiling.
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 3).
With reference to Figures 1, the W-
Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be ap-
plied to the sprinkler wrench flats.
The Series EC-5 Recessed Sidewall
Sprinklers must be installed in ac-
cordance with the following instruc-
tions.
Step A. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers
are to be installed with their centerline
perpendicular to the back wall and par-
allel to the ceiling. The word “TOP” on
the deflector is to face towards the
ceiling.
Step B. After installing the Style 50
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 C. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.
Figure 4). With reference to Figure 1,
the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler
Wrench is to be applied to the sprinkler
wrench flats.
Step D. After the wall has been in-
stalled or the finish coat has been ap-
plied, slide on the Style 50 Closure
over the Series EC-5 Sprinkler and
push the Closure over the Mounting
Plate until its flange comes in contact
with the wall.
Care and
Maintenance
The Series EC-5 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.
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
code.
