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.

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�
kler protection of the following storage
applications:
• Most encapsulated or non-encap-
sulated common materials including
cartoned, unexpanded plastics
• Uncartoned (exposed) expanded
plastics in accordance with NFPA 13
and FM Global standards
• Some storage arrangements of rub-
ber tires, roll paper, flammable liq-
uids, and aerosols
Note: The sprinklers are not limited to
these storage applications.
For more specific criteria, see the Tech-
nical Data section, Table A, and the
applicable design standard�
The Model ESFR-22 Sprinklers can
eliminate the use of in-rack sprinklers
when protecting high-piled storage of
specific materials up to the following
heights:
• NFPA: 40 ft (12,2 m) with ceilings up
to 45 ft (13,7m)
• FM: 45 ft (13,7 m) with ceilings up to
50 ft (15,2 m)
For more specific criteria, see Table B
and the applicable design standard�
NOTICE
The TYCO Model ESFR-22 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 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 or
FM installation standard, or other appli-
cable standard, must be referenced
to ensure applicability and to obtain
complete installation guidelines. The
general guidelines in this technical data
sheet are not intended to provide com-
plete installation criteria.
General
Description
The TYCO Model ESFR-22 Pendent
Sprinklers are Early Suppression, Fast
Response (ESFR) sprinklers with a
nominal K-factor of 22�4� The sprinkler
assembly is shown in Figure 1� The
sprinklers’ suppression-mode design is
especially advantageous as a means of
eliminating the use of in-rack sprinklers
when protecting high-piled storage�
The Model ESFR-22 Sprinklers are
primarily used for ceiling-only sprin-

Criteria
Use the following guidelines about the
TYCO Model ESFR-22 Sprinklers for
quick reference�
The National Fire Protection Associa-
tion (NFPA) and FM Global provide
installation standards that must be
used to properly design an automatic
sprinkler system utilizing ESFR Sprin-
klers� The guidelines provided by NFPA
and FM Global may differ� Conse-
quently, the appropriate standard must
be used for a given installation�
In all cases, the appropriate NFPA or
FM Global installation standard must be
referenced to ensure applicability and
to obtain complete installation guide-
lines� The guidelines are not intended
to provide complete installation criteria�
For more information, see Table B�
Design Guidelines
Roof Construction
Applications include unobstructed
or obstructed constructions, such as
smooth ceilings, bar joists, beam and
girder, or similar constructions�
Note: Where the depths of the
solid structural members, for
example, beams and stem, exceed
12 in. (302 mm), install ESFR Sprinklers
in each channel formed by the struc-
tural members.

Installation
The TYCO Model ESFR-22 Sprinklers
must be installed in accordance with
the following instructions�
General Instructions
Damage to the fusible link assembly
during installation can be avoided by
handling the sprinkler by the frame
arms only (that is, do not apply pres-
sure to the fusible link assembly), and
by using the appropriate sprinkler
wrench� 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 1 in� NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a min-
imum-to-maximum torque of 0 to 30
lb-ft (26,8 to 40,2 N∙m)� Higher levels
of torque can distort the sprinkler inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler�

Installing the Sprinkler
To install the sprinkler, perform the fol-
lowing steps:
Note: Install the Model ESFR-22 Pendent
Sprinkler in the pendent position as shown
in Figure 2.
Step 1. Handle the Model ESFR-22
Sprinkler only by the frame arms�
Apply pipe-thread sealant to the sprin-
kler� Hand-tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting, and do not apply pres-
sure to the link assembly�
TABLE B
MODEL ESFR-22 PENDENT SPRINKLERS
COMMODITY SELECTION AND DESIGN CRITERIA OVERVIEW
Step 2. Use only the W-Type 1 Sprin-
kler Wrench as shown in Figure 2 to
install the sprinkler� Fully engage or
seat the wrench recess on the sprin-
kler wrench flats as shown in Figure 1
and wrench-tighten�
Step 3. After installation, inspect the
link assembly of each sprinkler for
damage� In particular, verify that the
link assembly and hook are positioned
as shown in Figures 1 and 2, and that
the link assembly is not bent, creased,
or forced out of normal position in any
way� Replace damaged sprinklers�

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�

damage to the sprinklers before,
during, and after installation� Sprin-
klers damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twist/slippage, or any other
action, must be replaced�
