Sprinkler Concrete Sprinklers are quick
response spray sprinklers designed for
use in areas such as ofces, hospitals,
churches, schools, apartments, and
hotels.
• For applications in poured concrete
ceiling/oor assemblies, a unique
Installation Cup is used to form the
recessed cavity into which the FSC
Sprinkler is installed
• The ush design is made aestheti-
cally appealing by concealing the
deector and other operating parts
above the link assembly. The FSC
Sprinklers, with heat sensitive sol-
der type release elements, are rated
quick response sprinklers

Installation
For poured concrete ceiling/oor ap-
plications, the TYCO Model FSC 80
K-factor Flush Sprinkler Concrete
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with this section.
Step 1. Center Cup Insert at sprinkler
location and fasten to concrete form
with either nails or screws.
Step 1 Step 3
Step 3. Place Installation Cup
Assembly with Sprinkler Fitting over
Cup Insert. Ensure Installation Cup
Assembly snaps into place and is ush
against concrete form.
Step 2. Ensure O-Ring is properly tted
beneath threads on neck of Installation
Cup. Screw Installation Cup Assembly
into Sprinkler Fitting.
Step 2
Step 5
Step 5. After required pressure test
has been successfully performed, pour
concrete ceiling/oor. Ensure concrete
is distributed evenly around Installation
Cup Assembly, Sprinkler Fitting, and
Pipe.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when distributing
the concrete around the Pipe so as not
to nick or split the Pipe. Failure to do so
may result in equipment damage and/
or system failure.
Step 4. Connect Pipe to Fitting per
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 for remain-
ing sprinkler locations. Once all Pipes
have been connected, perform system
pressure test.
Step 4 Step 6
Step 6. Once the concrete has cured,
remove the concrete forms. The Cup
Inserts will be removed along with the
concrete form.

Step 11
Step 11. Engage FSC Sprinkler using
W-Type 25 Wrench (Figure 7), and then
screw into Adapter. Hand-tighten FSC
Sprinkler into Adapter until Escutcheon
is ush with ceiling surface and sprin-
kler is positioned in intended orientation
(Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for orientation
details.).
Note: The W-Type 25 Wrench will en-
gage the FSC Sprinkler in only one way.
When the sprinkler is engaged by the
wrench, the at on the wrench is par-
allel to the deector guide pins and at
installation, indicates the relative sprin-
kler deector orientation.
Step 10
Step 10. Assemble Escutcheon onto
FSC Sprinkler as shown. Apply sealant
to external threads of Thread Extension.
NOTICE
Ensure sealant avoids contact with
guide pins and internal waterway of
Thread Extension. Failure to do so may
result in equipment failure.
Step 12
Step 12. Ensure sprinkler is securely in
place then remove W-Type 25 Wrench
from sprinkler.
Repeat steps 7 through 12 to install re-
maining sprinklers.
Step 9
Step 9. Apply sealant to external
threads on FSC Sprinkler Inlet. With
hex end of Thread Extension oriented
toward the sprinkler inlet, screw onto
sprinkler threads until hex end is ush
with sprinkler thread shoulder.
NOTICE
Ensure sealant avoids contact with
guide pins and internal waterway of
Sprinkler Inlet. Failure to do so may re-
sult in equipment failure.
Step 7
Step 7. Insert W-Type 28 Wrench
(Figure 3) into Installation Cup cav-
ity ensuring it properly engages inter-
nal ribs and is fully seated. Using a 27
mm hex wrench or a 1/2 inch drive, un-
screw Installation Cup Assembly from
Sprinkler Fitting and remove from ceil-
ing cavity. Ensure O-Ring, as part of the
Installation Cup Assembly, has been
removed.
Note: Ceiling nish or coating should
be applied before proceeding on to
sprinkler installation in remaining steps.
Step 8
Step 8. Apply sealant (not included
with sprinkler kit) to external threads of
Adapter. Screw Adapter into Sprinkler
Fitting until Adapter shoulder is ush
with face of tting.

Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Model FSC 80 K-factor Flush
Sprinkler Concrete Sprinklers must be
maintained and serviced in accordance
with this section:
Service inspections should be made
on a regular basis to detect possible
damage or alterations to the sprinkler
and escutcheon. Inspections should in-
clude making certain that the escutch-
eon is held fast to the mounting sur-
face. Damaged or altered sprinklers
are to be replaced immediately to avoid
personal injury and to prevent use for
causing personal injury, as well as to
maintain the sprinkler system in an op-
erative condition.
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 sys-
tem from the proper authorities and no-
tify all personnel who may be affected
by this action.
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 other-
wise 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.)
Frequent visual inspections are recom-
mended to be initially performed for
sprinklers installed in potentially corro-
sive atmospheres to verify the integrity
of the materials of construction as they
may be affected by the corrosive con-
ditions present for a given installation.
The owner is responsible for the in-
spection, testing, and maintenance of
their re protection system and devices
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the approval agency and standards
of any other authority having jurisdic-
tion. Contact the installing contractor
or sprinkler manufacturer regarding any
questions.
Sprinklers are recommended to be in-
spected, tested, and maintained by a
qualied Inspection Service in accor-
dance with local requirements and/or
national codes.
