Operation
When TYCO Series DS-1 5.6K Pendent,
Upright, and Horizontal Sidewall, Stan-
dard Response, Standard Coverage
Dry-type Sprinklers are in service,
water is prevented from entering the
assembly by the Plug with Sealing
Assembly (see Figure 1) in the Inlet of
the sprinkler.
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, and the Bulb Seat is
released.
The compressed Spring is then able
to expand and push the Water Tube as
well as the Guide Tube outward. This
action simultaneously pulls inward on
the Yoke, withdrawing the Plug with
Sealing Assembly from the Inlet, allow-
ing the sprinkler to activate and flow
water.

Criteria
TYCO Series DS-1 5.6K Pendent,
Upright, and Horizontal Sidewall, Stan-
dard Response, Standard Coverage
Dry-type Sprinklers are intended for
use in fire sprinkler systems designed
in accordance with the standard instal-
lation rules recognized by the appli-
cable listing or approval agency (for
example, UL Listing is based on NFPA
13 requirements). For more information
on LPCB Approval, contact Johnson
Controls at the following office:

Sprinkler Fittings
Install 1 in. NPT Series DS-1 Dry-type
Sprinklers in the 1 in. NPT outlet or run
of the following fittings:
• malleable or ductile iron threaded
tee fittings that meet the dimen-
sional requirements of ANSI B16.3
(Class 150 )
• cast iron threaded tee fittings that
meet the dimensional requirements
of ANSI B16.4 (Class 125)
Do not install Series DS-1 Dry-type
Sprinklers into elbow fittings. The Inlet
of the sprinkler can contact the interior
of the elbow.
The unused outlet of the threaded tee is
plugged as shown in Figure 12.
You can also install Series DS-1 Dry-
type Sprinklers in the 1 in. NPT outlet
of a GRINNELL Figure 730 Mechanical
Tee and GRINNELL G-FIRE Figure 522;
however, the use of the Figure 730 Tee
and Figure 522 for this arrangement is
limited to wet pipe systems.
The configuration shown in Figure 13
is only applicable for wet pipe systems
where the sprinkler fitting and water-
filled pipe above the sprinkler fitting
are not subject to freezing and where
the length of the dry-type sprinkler has
the minimum exposure length depicted
in Figure 11. See the Exposure Length
section.
For wet pipe system installations of
1 in. NPT Series DS-1 Dry-Type Sprin-
klers connected to CPVC piping, use
only the following TYCO CPVC fittings:
• 1 in. x 1 in. NPT Female Adapter
(P/N 80145)
• 1 in. x 1 in. x 1 in. NPT Sprinkler Head
Adapter Tee (P/N 80249)
For dry pipe system installations,
use only the side outlet of maximum
2 1/2 in. reducing tee when locat-
ing Series DS-1 Dry-type Sprinklers
directly below the branchline; other-
wise, use the configuration shown in
Figure 12 to assure complete water
drainage from above Series DS-1
Dry-type Sprinklers and the branch-
line. Failure to do so may result in pipe
freezing and water damage.
NOTICE
Do not install Series DS-1 Dry-type
Sprinklers into any other type fitting.
