IMPORTANT
Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
regulatory and health information.
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
installation 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.

Design
Criteria
Install TYCO Model A Pipe Line Strain-
ers horizontally with the flushing con-
nection oriented down (Ref� Figure 1)�
A saddle support accommodating the
body nominal pipe size (Ref� Figure 1)
must be located beneath the strainer
on center with the outlet� If outlet Angle
"J" is other than 180°, additional pro-
visions must be made for separate
support of the outlet piping�
General
Description
TYCO Model A Pipe Line Strainers are
designed for installation in the water
supply connection to automatic sprin-
kler, water spray deluge, foam-water
deluge, or standpipe fire protection
systems� The strainers are used where
it is necessary to protect spray nozzles,
sprinklers, or other type discharge
outlets from obstruction by debris that
may be present in the water supply�
The Model A Pipe Line Strainer is a
redesignation of the Gem Model A�
NOTICE
The Model A Pipe Line Strainers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the NATIONAL FIRE
PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA),
in addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. Failure
to do so may impair the performance
of these devices.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.
The strainer must be located with ade-
quate clearance to allow complete
removal of the basket assembly for
cleaning and maintenance (Ref� Figure
1)�
When planning installation, consider-
ation must be given to disposal of the
large quantities of water that may be
required to ensure thorough clean-
ing of the basket assembly during
flushing� Typically, the flushing con-
nection is fitted with an appropriately
sized, normally closed, valve and hose
connection�
Installation
The TYCO Model A Pipe Line Strainer
is shipped as an assembly� Threaded
inlet and flanged outlet and flushing
connections (Ref� Figure 1 and Table
A) are to be made in accordance with
accepted piping practices� Provisions
for the pipe saddle, basket removal
clearance, and strainer flushing must
be made in accordance with the
requirements described in the Design
Criteria section�

Care and
Maintenance
The following procedure and inspec-
tions must be performed as indicated,
in addition to any specific requirements
of the NFPA� Any impairment must be
immediately corrected�
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected fire protection
system from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action�
The owner is responsible for the inspec-
tion, testing, and maintenance of their
fire protection system and devices in
compliance with this document, as well
as with the applicable standards of the
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSO-
CIATION (e�g�, NFPA 25), in addition to
the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction� Contact the install-
ing contractor or product manufacturer
with any questions�
Automatic sprinkler systems should be
inspected, tested, and maintained by a
qualified Inspection Service in accor-
dance with local requirements and/or
national code�
Maintenance Procedure
It is recommended that Model A strain-
ers be flushed at least annually� More
frequent flushing may be necessary
where water supplies are non-potable
and/or contain debris which could clog
1/3 or more of the basket open area�
Note: Never disassemble or remove
any strainer component without veri-
fying that the system is depressurized
and drained.
Strainers should be thoroughly flushed
clean after each system operation or
flow test and during routine inspections
as follows:
Step 1. Open flushing connection
valve (Ref� Design Criteria) allowing
flow until drain water runs clear� Close
valve�
Note: If heavy sediment in drain water
persists or there are indications that
all debris such as large stones may
not have been removed, basket must
be removed for cleaning; Proceed to
Step 2.
Step 2. Shut down and drain system�
Step 3. Remove end closure nuts and
bolts, flange and ring gasket�
Step 4. Withdraw basket in slow, hori-
zontal motion to minimize possibility of
debris falling from open inlet end into
body�
Step 5. Empty debris from basket and
clean body interior�
Step 6. Insert basket into body until
open inlet end is fully seated against
inlet connection flange�
Step 7. Install end closure gasket,
flange, and nuts and bolts� Gradually
tighten all nuts and bolts in cross-draw
sequence to apply uniform load around
flange�
Step 8. Ensure flushing connection
valve is closed�
