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-14
14.0 K-factor Pendent Sprinklers
Early Suppression, Fast Response
General
Description
The TYCO Model ESFR-14, K-factor
Pendent Sprinklers are Early Suppres-
sion, Fast Response (ESFR) sprin-
klers 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-14 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 rub-
ber tires, roll paper, flammable liquids
For more specific criteria, see Table B
and 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 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 Approvals installation standard, or
other applicable standard, must be ref-
erenced to ensure applicability and to
obtain complete installation guidelines.
The general guidelines in this technical
data sheet are not intended to provide
complete installation criteria.

Operation
The glass bulb contains a fluid which
expands 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.

Criteria
The following general guidelines pro-
vided for the TYCO Model ESFR-14,
14.0 K-factor, Pendent Sprinklers can
be used for quick reference.
NOTICE
The National Fire Protection Associa-
tion and FM Approvals 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.

Unobstructed or obstructed construc-
tion; for example, smooth ceiling, bar
joists, beam and girder, and so forth.
Where the depths of solid structural
members, such as beams and stem,
exceed 12 in. (302 mm), install Model
ESFR-14 Sprinklers in each channel
formed by the structural members.

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 sprin-
kler held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present.
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-14 Pendent
Sprinkler only in the pendent position as
shown in Figure 1.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied, hand-tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting.
Step 2. Wrench-tighten the Model
ESFR-14 Sprinkler using only the
W-Type 34 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
bulb of each Model ESFR-14 Sprinkler
for damage. In particular, verify that the
bulb is not cracked. Replace damaged
sprinklers.
Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Model ESFR-14, 14.0 K-factor,
Pendent Sprinklers (TY6236) must be
maintained and serviced 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 other authorities
having jurisdiction. Contact the install-
ing contractor or product manufacturer
with any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems are rec-
ommended to be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
