Tyco TFP MAX User manual

General
Description
The Model TFP MAX, 5.6 K-factor, In-
stitutional Horizontal Sidewall Sprin-
klers are quick response - standard
coverage, spray sprinklers designed
for use in areas such as correctional,
detention, and mental health care fa-
cilities.
The unique features of the Model TFP
MAX provide a tamper resistant sprin-
kler design that helps eliminate the
opportunity for individuals to injure
themselves or others with components
of a fire sprinkler. At the same time, the
Model TFP MAX optimizes an aes-
thetically appealing flush design that
conceals most of the operating parts,
and provides added protection for the
heat sensitive glass bulb element.
WARNING
The Model TFP MAX Institutional Hori-
zontal Sidewall Sprinklers 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 of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may
impair the integrity of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or manufac-
turer should be contacted relative to
any questions.

Patents
U.S.A. Patent No. 6,123,153 may be
applicable to the Model TFP MAX In-
stitutional Pendent Sprinklers.
Operation
In the standby condition, the design of
the Model TFP MAX is such that a
suspended load of 75 lbs. (34 kg) or
more applied to the linkage mecha-
nism will release the sprinkler. Also,
when properly installed, the escutch-
eon is held fast to the wall to deter its
removal. The shape of the escutcheon
cannot be easily grasped, which fur-
ther deters tampering.
A glass bulb operating element is pro-
tected within the linkage mechanism of
the Model TFP MAX.The bulb contains
a fluid that expands when exposed to
heat. When the rated temperature is
reached, the fluid expands sufficiently
to shatter the glass bulb. Shattering of
the glass bulb releases the linkage
mechanism that holds the sprinkler
closed, allowing the deflector to extend
outward and water to flow.
Design
Criteria
The 5.6 K-factor, Model TFP MAX (SIN
TY3391) Institutional Horizontal Side-
wall Sprinklers are intended for use
with fire protection systems designed
in accordance with the standard instal-
lation rules recognized by the applica-
ble Listing or Approval agency (e.g.,
UL Listing is based on NFPA 13 re-
quirements). The TFP MAX (SIN
TY3391) must be installed with a de-
flector to ceiling of 4 to 12 inches (100
to 300 mm). To meet this requirement

the centerline of the sprinkler water-
way must be located 4-1/2 to 12-1/2
inches (114,3 to 317,5 mm) below the
ceiling (Ref. Fig. 3).
Only the Institutional Escutcheons
shown in Figure 2 can be utilized with
the Model TFP MAX, and only a maxi-
mum of three Model 1752 Spacers can
be utilized with Style B1 or D Institu-
tional Escutcheons when horizontal
adjustment is desired.
NOTES
The Sprinkler Body must not extend
beyond the Institutional Escutcheon
(Ref. Fig. 4). Otherwise the tamper
resistant design of the Model TFP
MAX will be compromised. Conse-
quently, a maximum of three Model
1752 Spacers can only be used with
Style B1 or D Institutional Escutch-
eons. The Model 1752 Spacers can-
not be utilized with the Style E Insti-
tutional Escutcheons.
Integrity of the tamper resistant design
of the Institutional Escutcheons is de-
pendent on the piping installation de-
sign. When installed properly, the In-
stitutional Escutcheon is held fast to
the mounting surface by the tightening
of the sprinkler assembly into the
sprinkler fitting. In order to accomplish
a proper installation, the sprinkler fit-
ting must be properly located with re-
spect to distance from the face of the
sprinkler fitting to the face of the
mounting surface (Ref. Fig. 2); the
sprinkler fitting being rigidly secured
and held immobile; and, the centerline
of the sprinkler fitting being perpen-
dicular to the mounting surface to as-
sure that the escutcheon sits squarely
against the mounting surface around
the entire perimeter of the Institutional
Escutcheon. Figure 3 illustrates a typi-
cal installation that can be utilized to
help adjust the location of the sprinkler
fitting; to help assure immobility of the
sprinkler fitting; and, to help maintain
perpendicularity of the sprinkler fitting
to the mounting surface.
Installation
The 5.6 K-factor, Model TFP MAX
Sprinklers must be installed in accord-
ance with the following instructions:
NOTES
Refer to the Design Criteria section for
important information regarding the
piping installation design and its effect
on maintaining the integrity of the tam-
per resistant design of the Institutional
Escutcheons.
If the bulb within the linkage mecha-
nism is cracked or there is a loss of
liquid from the bulb, do not install the
sprinkler. With the bulb in the horizon-
tal position, an air bubble of approxi-
mately 1/16 inch (1,6 mm) diameter
should be present.
A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 7
to 14 ft.lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). A maxi-
mum of 21 ft.lbs. (28,5 Nm) of torque
is to be used to install these sprinklers.
Higher levels of torque may distort the
sprinkler inlet with consequent leak-
age or impairment of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for im-
proper location of the sprinkler fitting
by under- or over-tightening the sprin-
kler. Readjust the position of the sprin-
kler fitting to suit, or increase or de-
crease the number of Model 1752
Spacers, as applicable.
After the installation is complete, make

certain that the Institutional Escutcheon is held fast to the
mounting surface and that it sits squarely against the ceiling
around its entire perimeter.
Step 1. The TFP MAX Sprinklers must be installed horizon-
tally with the centerline of their waterway perpendicular to the
back wall surface, and the Deflector must be located with the
top towards the ceiling (Ref. Figure 1).
Step 2. With the Institutional Escutcheon in place and with
pipe thread sealant applied to the pipe threads, hand tighten
the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.
Step 3. Wrench tighten the Sprinkler using only the Model
1509-3 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Fig. 5). The wrenching teeth
of the Sprinkler Wrench are to be applied to the sprinkler
wrenching notch areas (Ref. Fig. 1).
Step 4. After the installation is complete, make certain that
the Institutional Escutcheon is held fast to the mounting
surface and that it sits squarely against the wall around its
entire perimeter.
NOTE
The Sprinkler Body must not extend beyond the Institutional
Escutcheon (Ref. Fig. 4). Otherwise the tamper resistant
design of the Model TFP MAX will be compromised.
Care and
Maintenance
The 5.6 K-factor, Model TFP MAX Sprinklers must be main-
tained and serviced in accordance with the following instruc-
tions:
NOTES
Service inspections should be made on a regular basis to
detect possible damage or alterations to the sprinkler and
escutcheon. Inspections should include making certain that
the Institutional Escutcheon is held fast to the mounting
surface. Damaged or altered sprinklers are to be replaced
immediately to avoid personal injury and to prevent use for
causing personal injury, as well as to maintain the sprinkler
system in an operative condition.
Before closing a fire protection system main control valve for
maintenance work on the fire protection system that it con-
trols, permission to shut down the affected fire protection
systems must be obtained from the proper authorities and all
personnel who may be affected by this action must be noti-
fied.
Sprinklers that are found to be leaking or exhibiting visible
signs of corrosion must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be shipped or stored where
their temperatures will exceed 100°F/38°C and they must
never be painted, plated, coated, or otherwise altered after
leaving the factory. Modified or over-heated sprinklers must
be replaced.
Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the sprinklers -
before, during, and after installation. Sprinklers damaged by
dropping, striking, wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must be
replaced. Also, replace any sprinkler that has a cracked bulb
or that has lost liquid from its bulb (ref. Installation Section).
The owner is responsible for the inspection, testing, and
maintenance of their fire protection system and devices in
compliance with this document, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protection Association (e.g.,
NFPA 25), in addition to the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. The installing contractor or sprinkler
