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 components
and cause the sprinkler to fail to
operate in a fire situation or cause it
to operate prematurely.
General
Description
The Tyco®Model ELOC, 11.2 K-factor,Model ELOC, 11.2 K-factor,
Extended Coverage, Light Hazard,
Extra Large Orifice Concealed (ELOC)
Pendent Sprinklers are decorative,
fast response solder type sprinklers
featuring a flat cover plate designed
to conceal the sprinkler. When limited
water pressure is available, the ELOC
is the best choice for architecturally
sensitive areas such as hotel lobbies,
office buildings, churches, and
restaurants.
They are intended for use in automatic
sprinkler systems designed in
accordance with standard installation
rules (e.g., NFPA 13). The fast response
thermal sensitivity rating of the Model
ELOC (TY5522) provides for a quick
response extended coverage (QREC)
rating up to an 18 ft. x 18 ft. coverage
area.
Each unit includes a Cover Plate
Assembly that conceals the sprinkler
operating components above the
ceiling. The separable two-piece
design of the Cover Plate and Support
Cup Assemblies allows installation
of the sprinklers and pressure testing
of the fire protection system prior to
installation of a suspended ceiling or
application of the finish coating to a
fixed ceiling. They also permit removal
of suspended ceiling panels for
access to building service equipment
without having to first shut down the
fire protection system and remove
sprinklers.
Also, the separable two-piece design
of the the Sprinkler provides for 3/4
inch (19,1 mm) of vertical adjustment
to provide a measure of flexibility with
regard to which the length of fixed pipe
drops to the sprinklers must be cut.
The Model ELOC Sprinklers are
shipped with a Disposable Protective
Cap. The Protective Cap is temporarily
removed for installation, and it can be
replaced to help protect the sprinkler
while the ceiling is being installed
or finished. The tip of the Protective
Cap can also be used to mark the
center of the ceiling hole into plaster
board, ceiling tiles, etc. by gently
pushing the ceiling product against
the Protective Cap. When the ceiling
installation is complete the Protective
Cap is removed and the Cover Plate
Assembly installed.
As an option, the Model ELOC Pendent
Sprinklers may be fitted with a silicone
Air and Dust Seal (Ref. Fig. 4). The Air
and Dust Seal is intended for sensitive
areas where it is desirable to stop air
and dust travel through the cover plate
from the area above the ceiling.

Operation
When exposed to heat from a fire, the
Cover Plate, normally soldered to the
Retainer at three points, falls away
to expose the Sprinkler Assembly.
At this point the Deflector supported
by the Guide Pins drops down to its
operational position.
When the rated temperature of the
Solder Link Element is reached, the
Link Element separates, allowing the
sprinkler to activate and flow water.

Design
Criteria
The Model ELOC (TY5522) Pendent
Sprinklers are UL and C-UL Listed
for use in light hazard occupancies,
using the design criteria in Table A, in
addition to the requirements specified
in the current NFPA 13 for extended
coverage pendent sprinklers.
The ELOC Pendent Sprinklers are
only listed and approved with the
ELOC Concealed Cover Plates having
a factory applied finish.
The ELOC must not be used in
applications where the air pressure
above the ceiling is greater than
that below. Down drafts through the
Support Cup could delay sprinkler
operation in a fire situation.
Installation
The Tyco®Model ELOC must be in-
stalled in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions:
NOTIce
A leak tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained with a mini-
mum to maximum torque of 10 to 20
ft.lbs. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm). Higher levels
of torque may distort the sprinkler in-
let with consequent leakage or impair-
ment of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for in-
sufficient adjustment in the Sprinkler
Assembly by under-or over-tightening
the Sprinkler/Support Cup Assembly.
Readjust the position of the sprinkler
fitting to suit.
Step 1. The sprinkler must only be in-
stalled in the pendent position and
with the centerline of the sprinkler per-
pendicular to the mounting surface.
Step 2. Remove the Protective Cap.
Step 3. With pipe thread sealant ap-
plied to the pipe threads, hand tighten
the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.
Step 4. Wrench tighten the sprinkler
using only the W-Type 18 Sprinkler
Wrench (Ref. Figure 3). The W-Type 18
Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the Sprinkler as shown in Figure 3.
Step 5. Replace the Protective Cap
(Ref. Figure 2) by pushing it upwards
until it bottoms out against the Sup-
port Cup. The Protective Cap helps
prevent damage to the Deflector and
Arms during ceiling installation and/or
during application of the finish coating
of the ceiling. It may also be used to
locate the center of the clearance hole

by gently pushing the ceiling material
against the center point of the Protec-
tive Cap.
NOTIce
As long as the Protective Cap remains
in place, the system is considered to
be “Out of Service”.
Step 6. After the ceiling has been
completed with the 2-1/2 inch (63,5
mm) diameter clearance hole and in
preparation for installing the Cover
Plate Assembly, remove and discard
the Protective Cap, and verify that the
Deflector moves up and down freely. If
the Sprinkler has been damaged and
the Deflector does not move up and
down freely, replace the entire Sprin-
kler assembly. Do not attempt to mod-
ify or repair a damaged sprinkler.
Step 7. When installing an Air and
Dust Seal, refer to Figure 4, otherwise
proceed to Step 8. To attach the Air
and Dust Seal, verify the angle of the
outside edge of the seal is oriented ac-
cording to Figure 4. Start the edge of
the Retainer in the grooved slot of the
Air and Dust Seal and continue around
the retainer until the entire Air and Dust
Seal is engaged.
Step 8. Screw on the Cover Plate/Re-
tainer Assembly until the Retainer Fig-
ure 2 (or Air and Dust Seal -Figure 4)
contacts with the ceiling. Do not con-
tinue to screw on the Cover Plate/Re-
tainer Assembly such that it lifts a ceil-
ing panel out of its normal position. If
the Cover Plate/Retainer Assembly
cannot be engaged with the Support
Cup or the Cover Plate/Retainer As-
sembly cannot be engaged sufficient-
ly to contact the ceiling, the Sprinkler
Fitting must be repositioned.
Care and
Maintenance
The Tyco®Model ELOC must be
maintained and serviced in accordance
with the following instructions:
NOTIce
Absence of the Cover Plate Assembly
may delay sprinkler operation in a fire
situation.
When properly installed, there is a
nominal 3/32 inch (2,4 mm) air gap be-
tween the lip of the Cover Plate and
the ceiling, as shown in Figure 2. This
air gap is necessary for proper opera-
tion of the sprinkler. If the ceiling is to
be repainted after the installation of
the Sprinkler, care must be exercised
to ensure that the new paint does NOT
seal off any of the air gap.
Factory painted Cover Plates MUST
NOT be repainted. They should be re-
placed, if necessary, by factory paint-
ed units. Non-factory applied paint
may adversely delay or prevent sprin-
kler operation in the event of a fire.
Do not pull the Cover Plate relative to
the Enclosure. Separation may result.
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.
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 or over-heated sprinklers must be
replaced.
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.
If a sprinkler must be removed, do not
reinstall it or a replacement without re-
installing the Cover Plate Assembly.
If a Cover Plate Assembly becomes
dislodged during service, replace it
immediately.
The owner is responsible for the in-
spection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and devic-
es in compliance with this document,
as well as with the applicable stan-
dards of the National Fire Protection
Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition
to the standards of any other authori-
ties having jurisdiction. The installing
contractor or sprinkler manufacturer
should be contacted relative to 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 codes.
