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.

Model ESFR-1
14.0 K-factor Pendent Sprinkler
Early Suppression, Fast Response
General
Description
The TYCO Model ESFR-1 Pendent
Sprinklers are Early Suppression,
Fast Response (ESFR) sprinklers with
a nominal K-factor of 14.0. They are
suppression-mode sprinklers that are
especially advantageous as a means of
eliminating the use of in-rack sprinklers
when protecting high-piled storage.
Model ESFR-1 Sprinklers are primarily
designed for protection of the following
storage arrangements:
•
Most encapsulated or non-encap-
sulated common materials including
cartoned, unexpanded plastics
•
Some storage arrangements of
rubber tires, roll paper, ammable
liquids
For more specific criteria, see
Table B and the applicable design
standard.
NOTICE
The Model ESFR-1 Sprinklers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the National Fire Pro-
tection Association (NFPA), in addition
to the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction, such as FM Global.
Failure to do so may impair the perfor-
mance 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.
In all cases, the appropriate NFPA,
FM Global installation standard, or
other applicable standard, must be
referenced to ensure applicability and
to obtain complete installation guide-
lines. The general guidelines in this
data sheet are not intended to provide
complete installation criteria.

Operation
The fusible link assembly is com-
prised of two link halves that are
joined together by a thin layer of
solder. When the rated temperature is
reached, the solder melts and the two
link halves separate, activating the
sprinkler and flowing water.

Design
Criteria
The following general guidelines pro-
vided for the TYCO ESFR-1 Sprinklers
can be used for quick reference.
NOTICE
The National Fire Protection Associa-
tion (NFPA) and FM Global (FM Approv-
als) provide installation standards that
must be used to properly design an
automatic sprinkler system utilizing
Early Suppression, Fast Response
(ESFR) Sprinklers. The guidelines pro-
vided by NFPA and FM may differ; con-
sequently, the appropriate standard
must be used for a given installation.
In all cases, the appropriate NFPA or
FM installation standard must be ref-
erenced to assure applicability and to
obtain complete installation guidelines,
since the following general guidelines
are not intended to provide complete
installation criteria.
Roof Construction
Unobstructed or obstructed construc-
tion, such as smooth ceiling, bar joists,
beam and girder.

members, such as beams and stem,
exceed 12 in. (302 mm), install ESFR
Sprinklers in each channel formed by
the structural members.

Installation
TYCO Model ESFR-1 Early Suppres-
sion, Fast Response 14.0K Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with this section.
NOTICE
Damage to the fusible Link Assem-
bly during installation can be avoided
by handling the sprinkler by the frame
arms only and by using the appropri-
ate sprinkler wrench. Do not apply
pressure to the fusible Link Assembly
Failure to do so can lead to an unstable
link assembly and premature activation
of the sprinkler. Damaged sprinklers
must be replaced.
A leak-tight 3/4 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a min-
imum-to-maximum torque of 10 to 20
lb-ft (13,4 to 26,8 N∙m). Higher levels
of torque can distort the sprinkler inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Note: Install the Model ESFR-1
Pendent Sprinkler in the pendent posi-
tion as shown in Figure 2.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied, hand-tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting. Do not apply pres-
sure to the Link Assembly, and handle
the Model ESFR-1 Sprinkler only by the
Frame arms.
Step 2. Wrench-tighten the Model
ESFR-1 Sprinkler using only the W-Type
2 Sprinkler Wrench as shown in Figure
2, and by fully engaging (seating) the
wrench on the sprinkler wrench flats as
shown in Figure 1.
Step 3. After installation, inspect
the Link Assembly of each Model
ESFR-1 Sprinkler for damage. In par-
ticular, verify that the Link Assembly
and Hook are positioned as shown in
Figure 1, and that the Link Assembly
is not bent, creased, or forced out of
normal position in any way. Replace
damaged sprinklers.
Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Model ESFR-1 Early Suppres-
sion, Fast Response 14.0K Pendent
Sprinklers must be maintained and ser-
viced in accordance with this section.
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
systems from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
Sprinklers which 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
damage to the sprinklers before,
during, and after installation. Sprin-
klers damaged 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. For more informa-
tion, see the Installation section.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, 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 Associ-
ation, such as NFPA 25, in addition to
the standards of any authorities having
jurisdiction. Contact the installing con-
tractor or product manufacturer with
any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems are
recommended to be inspected,
tested, and maintained by a qualified
Inspection Service in accordance with
local requirements and/or national
codes.
