Tyco HV User manual

General
Description
The Type HV Nozzles are open (non-
automatic) directional spray nozzles
with individual inlet strainers. They are
designed for use in water spray fixed
systemsforfireprotectionapplications
wherea high velocity waterapplication
may be required, such as for the pro-
tection of flammable liquids.
The Type HV Nozzles feature an inte-
gral strainer for use when the Authority
Having Jurisdiction (other than NFPA
applications) requires the use of indi-
vidual strainers in addition to main
pipeline strainers for nozzles having
anorificediameterof3/8inch(9,5mm)
or less.
Available in brass or stainless steel,
the six patterns of the Type HV Noz-
zles provide a wide variety of orifice
sizes and distribution characteristics.
As water passes through the internal
swirl plate, a swirling action is pro-
duced, prior to the water being dis-
charged through the orifice tip of the
body, resulting in a solid conical spray
pattern of water droplets being dis-
charged over a defined area.
High velocity type nozzles are princi-
pally used in water spray systems for
the protection of fixed hazards such as
transformers, circuit breakers, diesel
engines and diesel storage tanks,
turbo alternators, lube oil systems, oil
fire boilers, and similar hazards. They
are capable of rapidly extinguishing oil
fires by emulsification, cooling, and
smothering. The surface cooling ef-
fects of high velocity type nozzles also
minimizes the possibility of reignition
after a fire extinguishment.
Itisrecommendedthattheenduserbe
consulted with respect to thesuitability
of the materials of construction for any
given corrosive environment. The ef-
fects of ambient temperature, concen-
tration of chemicals, and gas/chemical
velocity, should be considered, at a
minimum, along with the corrosive na-
ture to which the nozzles may be ex-
posed.
TheTypeHV Nozzles arearedesigna-
tion for the Gem Type HV.
WARNINGS
The Type HV Nozzles described
herein must be installed and main-
tained in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association, in addition to the
standards ofany other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may
impair the performance of these de-
vices.
The design of individual water spray
fixed systems can vary considerably,
depending on the characteristics and
nature of the hazard, the basic pur-
pose of the spraying system, the con-
figuration of thehazard, and wind/draft
conditions. Because of these vari-
ations as well as the wide range of
available nozzle spray characteristics,
the design of water spray fixed sys-
tems for fire protection must only be
performed by experienced designers
who thoroughly understand the limita-
tions as well as capabilities of such
systems.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted
with any questions.

IMPORTANT
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 in-
stallation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its compo-
nents and cause the nozzle to fail to
operate in a fire situation.

Design
Criteria
Nozzle Placement. The nominal over-
all spray patterns, spacing, and maxi-
mum recommended axial distances
forsixpatternsoftheTypeHVNozzles
are given in Figure 2 for residual (flow-
ing) pressures of 30 to 80 psi (2,1 to
5,5 bar). A minimum residual pressure
of30psi(2,1bar)cantypicallybe used
for most applications; however, a mini-
mum residual pressure of 50 psi (3,4
bar) is recommended for applications
requiring higher velocity water deliv-
ery, such as those specifying rapid ex-
tinguishment of oil fires by emulsifica-
tion.
With reference to Figure 2, use of the
“Design Spray Profile” for the “Design
Spray Area” will help assure that direct
impingementon all surfaces will occur.
The “Design Spray Area” shown at the
topFigure2-Part2of2onPage4
consists of the square of length “S”
within the circular “Overall Spray
Area”.
The maximum recommended axial
distances given in Figure 2 are based
on maintaining the specifiedspray pat-
terns under a maximum wind condition
of 15 MPH (24 km/h).
Figure 3 provided a reference guide
showing the overall still air spray pat-
terns beyond the maximum 15 MPH
(24 km/h) axial distances, when pro-
jecting horizontally. As shown in Fig-
ure 3, the spray patterns become non-
concentric,beyondacertainpoint,due
to the affects of gravity.
Main Pipeline Strainers. Even
though individual strainers have been
provided, main pipeline strainers are
required for systems utilizing Type HV
Nozzles, since their waterways are
less than 3/8 inch (9,5 mm) diameter.
Installation
Type HV Nozzles must be installed in
accordance with the following instruc-
tions:
NOTE
A leak tight 1 inch NPT nozzle joint
should be obtained with a torque of 20
to30ft.lbs.(26,8to40,2Nm).Aleak
tight 1-1/4 inch NPT nozzle joint
should be obtained with a torque of 30
to 40 ft.lbs. (40,2 to 53,6 Nm). Higher
levels of torque may distort the nozzle
inlet and cause impairment of the noz-
zle.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant ap-
plied to the pipe threads, hand tighten
the nozzle into the nozzle fitting.
Step 2. Tighten the nozzle into the
nozzle fitting usingan adjustable cres-
cent wrench. With reference to Figure
1 the adjustable crescent wrench is to
be applied to the wrench hex.

Care and
Maintenance
The Type HV Nozzles must be main-
tained and serviced in accordance
with the following instructions:
NOTE
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system that
itcontrols,permission toshutdownthe
affectedfire protectionsystemmustbe
obtained from the proper authorities
and all personnel who may be affected
by this action must be notified.
Type HV Nozzles must never be
painted, plated, coated or altered in
any way after leaving the factory; oth-
erwise, the spray performance may be
impaired.
Care must be exercised to avoid dam-
agetothenozzles-before,during,and
after installation. Nozzles damaged by
dropping, striking, wrench twist/slip-
page, or the like, must be replaced.
Frequent visual inspections are rec-
ommendedtobeinitiallyperformedfor
nozzles installed in potentially corro-
sive atmospheres to verify theintegrity
of the materials of constructionas they
may be affected by the corrosive con-
ditions present for a given installation.
Thereafter, annual inspections per
NFPA 25 are required.
Water spray fixed systems for fire pro-
tection service require regularly
scheduled care and maintenance by
trained personnel. In addition to in-
specting nozzles for proper spray per-
formanceduringwater flow triptestsof
the system, it is recommended that
nozzles be periodically inspected for
broken or missing parts or evidence of
impaired protection. The inspections
should be scheduled weekly or as fre-
quently as may be necessary, andcor-
rective action must be taken to ensure
that the nozzles will perform as in-
tended in the event of a fire.
The owner is responsible for the in-
spection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and de-
vices in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in
addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. The in-
stalling contractor or sprinkler manu-
facturer should be contacted relative
to any questions.
It is recommended that water spray
fixed systems be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
