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
TYCO Model ESFR-14, 14.0 K-factor,
Pendent Sprinklers (TY6236) are Early
Suppression, Fast Response (ESFR)
sprinklers having a nominal K-factor
of 14.0. They are suppression-mode
sprinklers that are especially advanta-
geous as a means of eliminating the
use of in-rack sprinklers when pro-
tecting high-piled storage.
Model ESFR-14 Sprinklers are primar-
ily designed for protection of the fol-
lowing 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 specic criteria, refer to
Table A in this technical data sheet
as well as the applicable design
standard.
NOTICE
The TYCO Model ESFR-14 Sprinklers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with
this document, as well as with the ap-
plicable standards of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), in ad-
dition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction (e.g., FM
Approvals). Failure to do so may im-
pair the performance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condi-
tion. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.
In all cases, the appropriate NFPA,
FM Approvals installation standard,
or other applicable standard, must
be referenced to ensure applicabil-
ity and to obtain complete installation
guidelines. The general guidelines in
this technical data sheet are not in-
tended to provide complete installa-
tion criteria.

Criteria
The following general guidelines pro-
vided for the TYCO Model ESFR-14,
14.0 K-factor, Pendent Sprinklers
(TY6236) can be used for quick
reference.
NOTICE
The National Fire Protection Associa-
tion and FM Approvlas provide instal-
lation standards that must be used to
properly design an automatic sprinkler
system utilizing Early Suppression,
Fast Response (ESFR) Sprinklers. The
guidelines provided by NFPA and FM
Global may differ; consequently, the
appropriate standard must be used for
a given installation.
In all cases, the appropriate NFPA or
FM Approvals installation standard
must be referenced to assure appli-
cability and to obtain complete instal-
lation guidelines, since the following
general guidelines are not intended to
provide complete installation criteria.

System Type
Wet pipe
Roof Construction
Unobstructed or obstructed construc-
tion; for example, smooth ceiling, bar
joists, beam and girder, and so forth.
Where the depths of solid structural
members (e.g., beams and stem) ex-
ceed 12 inches (302 mm), install Model
ESFR-14 Sprinklers in each channel
formed by the structural members.
Ceiling Slope
Maximum 2 inch rise for 12 inch run
(16.7%)
Maximum Coverage Area
100 ft2(9,3 m2)
In some cases, the installation stan-
dards permit a greater coverage area.
Minimum Coverage Area
64 ft2(5,8 m2) per
NFPA 13 / FM Global 2-0
Maximum Spacing
12 ft (3,7 m) for building heights up to
30 ft (9,1 m)
10 ft (3,1 m) for building heights great-
er than 30 ft (9,1 m)
Minimum Spacing
8 ft (2,4 m)
Minimum Clearance to Commodity
36 inches (914 mm)
NFPA 13
Deflector-to-Ceiling Distance
6 to 14 inches (152 to 356 mm)
FM Global 2-0
Consult FM Global guidelines for al-
lowable deector-to-ceiling distances
as well as thermal-sensing element-
to-ceiling criteria.
Operation
The glass bulb contains a uid which
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
uid expands sufciently to shatter
the glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler
to activate and water to ow.
Installation
TYCO Model ESFR-14 Pendent Sprin-
klers must be installed in accordance
with this section.
General Instructions
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler if
the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of
liquid from the bulb. With the sprinkler
held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present.
A leak-tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained by applying
a minimum-to-maximum torque of 10
to 20 ft.-lbs. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm). Higher
levels of torque can distort the sprin-
kler inlet with consequent leakage or
impairment of the sprinkler.
Note: Install the Model ESFR-14 Pen-
dent Sprinkler in the pendent position
(Figure 1).
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant ap-
plied, hand-tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler tting.
Step 2. Wrench-tighten the Model
ESFR-14 Sprinkler using only the W-
Type 2 Sprinkler Wrench (Figure 2) or
the W-Type 30 Sprinkler Wrench (Fig-
ure 3) and by fully engaging (seating)
the wrench on the sprinkler wrench
ats (Figure 1).
Step 3. After installation, inspect the
bulb of each Model ESFR-14 Sprinkler
for damage. In particular, verify that
the bulb is not cracked. Replace dam-
aged sprinklers.

Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Model ESFR-14, 14.0 K-factor,
Pendent Sprinklers (TY6236) must
be maintained and serviced in accor-
dance with this section.
Before closing a re protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the re protection system that
it controls, obtain permission to shut
down the affected re protection sys-
tems from the proper authorities and
notify all personnel who may be af-
fected by this action.
Sprinklers which are found to be leak-
ing or exhibiting visible signs of corro-
sion must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated, or other-
wise altered after leaving the factory.
Modied 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. (Refer to In-
stallation Section.)
The owner is responsible for the in-
spection, testing, and maintenance of
their re 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. Contact the
installing contractor or product manu-
facturer with any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems are rec-
ommended to be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualied Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
