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 SW-20 and SW-24 — 11.2 K-factor
Extended Coverage Ordinary Hazard
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers (Standard Response)
General
Description
The TYCO Model SW-20 and SW-24,
11.2 K-factor, Extended Coverage Ordi-
nary Hazard (ECOH) Horizontal Side-
wall Sprinklers, Standard Response
are decorative glass bulb sprinklers
designed for use in ordinary hazard
occupancies according to NFPA 13.
The SW-20 provides protection of cov-
erage areas up to 16 ft x 20 ft (320 ft²),
whereas the SW-24 provides protec-
tion of coverage areas up to 16 ft x 24
ft (384 ft²), as compared to standard
coverage horizontal sidewall sprinklers
having a maximum coverage area of 10
ft x 10 ft (100 ft²) for ordinary hazard
occupancies.
Horizontal sidewall sprinklers are
designed for installation along a wall
or the side of a beam and are com-
monly used instead of pendent or
upright sprinklers due to aesthetics or
building construction considerations,
where piping across the ceiling is not
desirable.
Corrosion resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the life
of copper alloy sprinklers beyond that
which would otherwise be obtained
when exposed to corrosive atmo-
spheres. Although corrosion resistant
coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the appli-
cable approval agencies, the testing is
not representative of all possible cor-
rosive atmospheres. Consequently,
it is recommended that the end user
be consulted with respect to the suit-
ability of these corrosion resistant
coatings for any given corrosive envi-
ronment. The effects of ambient tem-
perature, concentration of chemicals,
and gas/chemical velocity, should be
considered, as a minimum, along with
the corrosive nature of the chemical to
which the sprinklers will be exposed.
NOTICE
The Model SW-20 and SW-24 Sprin-
klers described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with
this document and with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association (NFPA), in addition to
the standards of any authorities having
jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair
the performance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted with
any questions.

Operation
The glass bulb contains a uid that
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
uid expands sufciently to shatter the
glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to ow.

Design
Criteria
The TYCO Model SW-20 and SW-24,
11.2 K-factor, Extended Coverage Ordi-
nary Hazard (ECOH) Horizontal Side-
wall Sprinklers are for use in ordinary
hazard occupancies with non-combus-
tible unobstructed construction and
with a ceiling slope not exceeding 2
inches per foot (9.2°), using the design
criteria provided in Table A, (as well as
any additional requirements specied
in NFPA 13 for Extended Coverage
Sidewall Spray Sprinklers).
A 36 in. (914 mm) clearance must be
maintained between the top of the
sprinkler deector and any miscella-
neous storage.
The SW-20 and SW-24 may be installed
on sloped ceilings in loading docks with
a maximum roof slope of 4 in. per foot
(18.4°) as shown in Figure 4 and using
the design criteria provided in Table A.
The SW-20 and SW-24 can be used
only for exposed applications. The
SW-20 and SW-24 cannot be recessed.
Installation
The TYCO Model SW-20 and SW-24,
11.2 K-factor, Extended Coverage Ordi-
nary Hazard (ECOH) Horizontal Side-
wall Sprinklers 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. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 in. (1,6
mm).
A leak tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a minimum to
maximum torque of 7 ft-lb to 14 ft-lb
(9,5 N·m to 19,0 N·m). Higher levels of
torque can distort the sprinkler Inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for
insufcient adjustment in the Sprinkler
by under- or over-tightening the Sprin-
kler/Support Cup Assembly. Re-adjust
the position of the sprinkler tting to
suit.
Step 1. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers
are to be installed with their center-
line perpendicular to the back wall and
parallel to the ceiling. The word “TOP”
on the deector is to face towards the
ceiling.
Step 2. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
tting.
Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type
3 (End B) Sprinkler Wrench shown in
Figure 3. Apply the wrench to the sprin-
kler wrench ats shown in Figure 1 and
Figure 2.

NOTES
1. Backwall (where sprinkler is located) by sidewall (length of throw).
2. Requirement is based on minimum ow in GPM from each sprinkler. The indicted residual pressures are based on the nominal K-factor.
3. The centerline of the sprinkler waterway is located below the deector as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
4. Minimum spacing is for lateral distance between sprinklers located along a single wall. Otherwise adjacent sprinklers (i.e., sidewall sprinklers on an adjacent wall, on an opposite
wall, or pendent sprinklers) must be located outside of the maximum listed protection area of the extended coverage sidewall sprinkler being utilized.

Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Model SW-20 and SW-24,
11.2 K-factor, Extended Coverage Ordi-
nary Hazard (ECOH) Horizontal Side-
wall Sprinklers must be maintained
and serviced in accordance with this
section.
Before closing a re protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected re protec-
tion system from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their re 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 sprinkler manufac-
turer regarding any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems should be
inspected, tested, and maintained by
a qualied inspection service in accor-
dance with local requirements and/or
national code.
Absence of an escutcheon, which is
used to cover a clearance hole, may
delay the time to sprinkler operation in
a re situation.
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. Also, replace any sprin-
kler that has a cracked bulb or that has
lost liquid from its bulb. For informa-
tion about replacing a sprinkler, see the
Installation Section.
Frequent visual inspections are rec-
ommended to be initially performed
for corrosion resistant coated sprin-
klers, after the installation has been
completed, to verify the integrity of the
corrosion resistant coating. Thereafter,
annual inspections according to NFPA
25 should sufce; however, instead
of inspecting from the oor level, a
random sampling of close-up visual
inspections should be made, so as to
better determine the exact sprinkler
condition and the long term integrity
of the corrosion resistant coating as it
may be affected by the corrosive con-
ditions present.
