IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER
WARNING” that provides cau-
tions with respect to handling
and installation of sprinkler sys-
tems and components. Improp-
er handling and installation can
permanently damage a sprin-
kler system or its components
and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.
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 haz-
ard, commercial occupancies such
as churches, restaurant seating ar-
eas, hotels, educational facilities, of-
fices, etc. With their coverage up to
16 feet (4,9 m) wide by 24 feet (7,3 m)
long and maximum deflector to ceil-
ing distance 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 ceil-
ing. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers are
commonly used instead of pendent or
upright sprinklers due to aesthetics or
building construction 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
reduces the accuracy to which the
fixed pipe lengths to the sprinklers
must be cut.
NOTICE
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 Pro-
tection Association, 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 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 fluid that ex-
pands 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 Haz-
ard Occupancies, under smooth level
ceilings as outlined in the applicable
installation standard recognized by
the Approval Agency (e.g., UL recog-
nizes NFPA 13, and FM recognizes
the FM Loss Prevention Data Sheets).
Only the Style 50 Recessed Escutch-
eon, as applicable, is to be used for
recessed installations.
Installation
The Series EC-5 Sprinklers must
be installed in accordance with this
section.
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler
if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin-
kler held horizontally, a small air bub-
ble 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 insuf-
ficient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
Series EC-5 Sidewall Sprinkler
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 center-
line perpendicular to the back wall and
parallel 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.
Series EC-5 Recessed
Sidewall Sprinkler
The Series EC-5 Recessed Sidewall
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions.
Step A. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers
are to be installed with their center-
line perpendicular to the back wall and
parallel to the ceiling. The word “TOP”
on the deflector is to face towards the
ceiling.
Step B. After installing the Style 50
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 sprin-
kler 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 accor-
dance with this section.
Before closing a fire protection sys-
tem main control valve for mainte-
nance work on the fire protection sys-
tem that it controls, permission to shut
down the affected fire protection sys-
tem must be obtained from the prop-
er 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 other-
wise altered after leaving the factory.
Modified 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. Installa-
tion Section).
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 Pro-
tection Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in
addition to the standards of any oth-
er authorities having jurisdiction. The
installing contractor or sprinkler man-
ufacturer should be contacted relative
to any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected, test-
ed, and maintained by a qualified In-
spection Service in accordance with
local requirements and/or national
code.
