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-25
25.2 K-factor Pendent Sprinkler
Early Suppression, Fast Response
NOTICE
The Model ESFR-25 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 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.
The Model ESFR-25 Sprinklers are pri-
marily used for ceiling-only sprinkler
protection of, but not limited to, the fol-
lowing 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, ammable liq-
uids, aerosols, and automotive
components
For more specic criteria, see Table B
and the applicable design standard.
The Model ESFR-25 Pendent Sprin-
klers provide the system designer
with hydraulic and sprinkler place-
ment options not presently available to
the traditional ESFR sprinklers having
nominal K-factors of 14.0 and 16.8. In
particular, the Model ESFR-25 Sprin-
kler is designed to operate at substan-
tially lower-end head pressures, as
compared to ESFR Sprinklers having
nominal K-factors of 14.0 and 16.8.
This feature offers flexibility when
sizing system piping, as well as pos-
sibly reducing or eliminating the need
for a system re pump.
The Model ESFR-25 Sprinklers can
eliminate the use of in-rack sprinklers
when protecting high-piled storage of
specic 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 specic criteria, see Table B
and the applicable design standard.
The Model ESFR-25 Sprinklers are
listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) for specific applications with
a maximum storage height of 43 ft
(13,1 m) with a maximum ceiling height
of 48 ft (14,6 m) without the require-
ment for in-rack sprinklers. Refer to the
Specic Application Listing (UL) for the
design criteria.
General
Description
The TYCO Model ESFR-25 Pendent
Sprinklers are Early Suppression, Fast
Response (ESFR) sprinklers with a
nominal K-factor of 25.2. The sprinkler
assembly is shown in Figure 1. 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.

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
owing water.
Design
Criteria
The following general guidelines pro-
vided for the TYCO Model ESFR-25
Pendent Sprinklers can be used for a
quick reference.
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 Global may
differ. Consequently, the appropri-
ate standard must be used for a given
installation.

Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Model ESFR-25 Early Suppres-
sion, Fast Response 25.2K 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
system 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.
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
damage to the sprinklers before,
during, and after installation. Sprin-
klers damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must
be replaced. For more information, see
the Installation section.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their re protection system and devices
in compliance with the following docu-
ments and standards:
• This technical data sheet
• Applicable standards of the National
Fire Protection Association such as
NFPA 25
• Standards of any authorities having
jurisdiction
Contact the installing contractor
or product manufacturer 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.

Installation
TYCO Model ESFR-25 Early Suppres-
sion, Fast Response 25.2K Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with this section.
General Instructions
Damage to the fusible link assembly
during installation can be avoided by
handling the sprinkler by the frame
arms only and by using the appropriate
sprinkler wrench. Do not apply pres-
sure 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 1 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a min-
imum-to-maximum torque of 20 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-25
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 tting. Do not apply pres-
sure to the link assembly, and handle
the sprinkler only by the frame arms.
Step 2. Wrench-tighten the sprin-
kler using only the W-Type 1 Sprinkler
Wrench as shown in Figure 2, and by
fully engaging (seating) the wrench on
the sprinkler wrench ats as shown in
Figure 1.
Step 3. After installation, inspect the
link assembly of each sprinkler for
damage. In particular, verify that the
link assembly and hook are posi-
tioned 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.
