corrugated surfaces where alternate
methods to seal the clearance hole are
recommended. For additional informa-
tion, contact Johnson Controls Techni-
cal Services.

General
Description
The TYCO Model ESFR-17 Dry Type
Pendent Sprinklers are Early Suppres-
sion, Fast Response (ESFR) sprinklers
having a nominal K-factor of 16.8.
They are suppression mode sprinklers
that are especially advantageous as a
means of eliminating in-rack sprinklers
when protecting high-piled box-in-box
refrigerated storage areas.
The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Pendent
Sprinkler is FM Approved and has
successfully undergone full-scale re
testing at FM Global, when used in con-
formance with applicable FM Global
Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets.
The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprin-
kler consists of an ESFR sprinkler per-
manently secured to a sprinkler drop
featuring an inlet with both grooved
and threaded connections. The drop
between the inlet and sprinkler remains
dry until the sprinkler operates, allow-
ing for a pendent sprinkler installa-
tion on a wet pipe sprinkler system
where the dry drop and sprinkler are
located in an area subjected to freezing
temperatures.
The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprin-
klers are primarily used for ceiling only
sprinkler protection, for example no
need for in-rack sprinklers, and used to
protect solid piled, palletized, and rack
storage that is subject to freezing tem-
peratures. The water supply is provided
from a wet pipe system located outside
of the refrigerated storage area. The
Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinklers
feature all of the same design criteria
as 16.8 K-factor ESFR Pendent Sprin-
klers, and substantially lowers the end
head pressure requirement as com-
pared to the 14.0 K-factor ESFR Dry
Type Pendent Sprinklers.
Combining a 16.8 K-factor with a
dry-type sprinkler design, the Model
ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler provides
the system designer with features that
offer flexibility when sizing system
piping, as well as possibly reducing or
eliminating the need for a system re
pump when protecting high-piled box-
in-box refrigerated storage areas.
The sprinkler also includes two insu-
lating seal assemblies that help seal
the clearance space around the sprin-
kler casing. The seal assemblies are
intended to slow the exchange of air
between the heated area and the pro-
tected area to help prevent humid-
ity and temperature differential in the
area around the sprinkler. Condensa-
tion on the sprinkler and subsequent
ice buildup on or around the sprinkler
can occur that might damage the sprin-
kler or prevent proper operation in a re
situation.
To install the Insulating seal assem-
blies, follow the installation instruc-

Operation
The casing between the inlet and the
sprinkler remains dry until the sprinkler
operates. The fusible link assembly is
comprised 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
allowing water to flow through the
casing and to the activated sprinkler.

When using tees, use of the Figure
219 GRINNELL Grooved Ductile Iron
Cast Fittings (Refer to TFP1810) is
recommended.
NOTICE
Do not install Model ESFR-17 Dry Type
Sprinkler into any other type fitting
connection without first consulting
Johnson Controls Technical Services.
Failure to use the appropriate fitting
may result in insufficient engagement
of the inlet pipe threads with conse-
quent leakage.
Exposure Length
When using Model ESFR-17 Dry Type
Sprinklers to protect areas subject to
freezing temperatures, use Figure 2,
Figure 3, and Table E to determine a
sprinkler’s appropriate exposed barrel
length to prevent water from freezing in
the connection pipes due to conduc-
tion. The exposed barrel length mea-
surement must be taken from the face
of the sprinkler tting to the exterior
surface of the structure or insulation
that is exposed to the heated area.
Do not attempt to add additional insu-
lation around the barrel in the heated
area as a method to minimize conden-
sation. This will reduce the calculated
exposure length.
Clearance Space
In accordance with NFPA 13, when
protecting insulated freezer structures
with dry type sprinklers, the clear-
ance hole around the sprinkler barrel
of the dry type sprinkler and the clear-
ance hole must be sealed. Sealing is
accomplished by use of the insulating
seal assemblies as shown in Figure7.
Failure to use the insulating seal
assemblies will increase the potential
for the formation of condensation on
the sprinkler and subsequent ice build-
up on or around the sprinkler can occur
that might damage the dry type sprin-
kler and/or prevent proper operation in
a re situation.

Installation
TYCO Model ESFR-17 Early Suppres-
sion, Fast Response 16.8K Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with this section.
General Instructions
Avoid damage to the fusible link assem-
bly during installation by using only the
Casing to handle the sprinkler and by
using the appropriate 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.
Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinklers
must only be installed in ttings/con-
nections that meet the requirements
of the Design Criteria section. See
the Design Criteria section for other
important requirements regarding
piping design, exposure length, and the
sealing of the clearance space around
the sprinkler casing.
If a sprinkler using a threaded con-
nection (verus a grooved connec-
tion) requires replacement, remove
the sprinkler using only the W-Type
26 Sprinkler Wrench. Fully engage the
wrench on the inlet wrench hex, as
shown in Figure 5. Replace with the
new sprinkler following the installation
instructions in this section.
Threaded Connection
Instructions
A leak-tight 1 1/4 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a min-
imum-to-maximum torque of 45 lb-ft
to 65 lb-ft (61 N∙m to 88 N∙m). Higher
levels of torque can distort the sprin-
kler inlet with consequent leakage or
impairment of the sprinkler.
Note: Install the Model ESFR-17 Dry Type
Pendent Sprinkler in the pendent position
as shown in Figure 5 by carefully raising the
pendent sprinkler through the clearance
hole. The deflector of the pendent sprinkler
is to be parallel to the ceiling.
Step 1. Apply a non-hardening pipe
thread sealant such as TEFLON to the
male 1 1/4 in. NPT inlet threads.
Step 2. Wrench-tighten the Model
ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler using only
the W-Type 26 Sprinkler Wrench and
by fully engaging the wrench on the
inlet wrench hex as shown in Figure
5. For reference, the “FRAME ARMS”
marking can be used to align the frame
arms with the system pipe as shown in
Figure 6.
Step 3. After installation, inspect the
link assembly of each Model ESFR-17
Dry Type Sprinkler for damage. In par-
ticular, verify that the link assembly
and hook are positioned as illustrated
in Figure 1, and that the link assembly
is not bent, creased, or forced out of
normal position in any way. Replace
damaged sprinklers.
Step 4. Install the insulation rings of the
insulating seal assemblies by slipping
the insulation rings around the sprin-
kler casing as shown in Figure 7. Place
the inserts over the insulation rings by
sliding the inserts around the casing.
Place the housings over the inserts and
insulation rings ensuring that the slot
on the housings are 180 degrees to the
inserts slot. Ensure that the insulating
seal assemblies are snug against the
refrigerated storage ceiling. Secure the
insulating seal assemblies to the ceiling
using two self-tapping screws for each
assembly.
Grooved Connection
Instructions
The following instructions are based
on using the 2 in. Figure 705 Grooved
Flexible Coupling or the 2 in. Figure 577
Grooved Rigid Coupling.
Step 1. Inspect the exterior groove
and the end connection of the mating
grooved connection and sprinkler to
verify all burrs, loose debris, dirt, chips,
paint and other foreign materials such
as grease are removed. Sealing sur-
faces must be free from sharp edges,
projections, indentations, and/or other
defects.
Step 2. Verify that the coupling and
gasket grade are correct for the appli-
cation intended. Refer to Technical
Data Sheet TFP1895 for additional
gasket information. The sealing edges
and the outer surfaces of the gasket
should be covered with a ne layer of
lubricant. To prevent deterioration of
the gasket material, a silicone lubricant
should be used to prevent freezing of
the lubricant.
Step 3. Install the Model ESFR-17
Dry Type Pendent Sprinkler in the
pendent position as shown in Figure
4 and Figure 7, by carefully raising the
pendent sprinkler through the clear-
ance hole. The deector of the pendent
sprinkler is to be parallel to the ceiling.
Also, ensure that the “FRAME ARMS”
markings on the sprinkler casing are
aligned with the system pipe as shown
in Figure 6.
Step 4. Install the gasket by placing it
over the sealing portion of the grooved
inlet connection so that the gasket lip
does not extend beyond the end of
the groove sealing surface. Bring end
of the grooved inlet together with end
of grooved tting ensuring vertical and
horizontal alignment. Slide the gasket
over both sealing surfaces.
Step 5. With one bolt and nut removed,
separate the coupling housings and
place over the gasket. Verify that the
coupling housings are over the gasket
and that the coupling housing keys are
fully engaged into the grooves.
Step 6. Insert the bolt and nut into the
coupling and nger tighten both nuts.
Verify that the bolt heads are fully
recessed in the housing.
The 2 in. Figure 705 Grooved Flexible
Coupling Housing bolt pads must be
in metal-to-metal contact. For exible
coupling deection data, refer to Tech-
nical Data Sheet TFP1820.
The 2 in. Figure 577 Grooved Rigid
Coupling has an intended gap of up to
1/16 of an inch at each pad to allow
for positive rigid gripping onto the
pipe. The patented tongue and groove
design provides protection to the back
of the gasket during installation.
Step 7. Alternate between both sides of
the coupling when tightening the bolts.
Torque bolts to 30 lb-ft (41 N∙m).
Step 8. Install the insulation rings of the
insulating seal assemblies by slipping
the insulation rings around the sprin-
kler casing as shown in Figure 7. Place
the inserts over the insulation rings by
sliding the inserts around the casing.
Place the housings over the Inserts and
insulation rings ensuring that the slot
on the housings is 180 degrees to the
inserts slot. Ensure that the Insulating
seal assemblies are snug against the
refrigerated storage ceiling. Secure the
insulating seal assemblies to the ceiling
using two self-tapping screws for each
assembly.

Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Model ESFR-17 Early Suppres-
sion, Fast Response 16.8K Pendent
Sprinklers must be maintained and ser-
viced in accordance 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 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 otherwise
altered after leaving the factory. Modi-
ed or overheated sprinklers must be
replaced.
A vent hole is provided in the link
assembly button as shown in Figure1
to indicate if the dry sprinkler is remain-
ing dry. Evidence of leakage from the
vent hole indicates potential leakage
past the inlet seal and the need to
remove the sprinkler to determine the
cause of leakage; such as an improper
installation or an ice plug. Close the re
protection system control valve and
drain the system before removing the
sprinkler.
When replacing a sprinkler, remove and
discard the old insulating seal assem-
blies, and replace as shown in Figure 7.
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.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their re protection system and devices
