Tyco TFP PH5 Owner's manual

General
Description
The Model TFP PH5, 5.6 K-factor, In-
stitutional Horizontal Sidewall Sprin-
klers are standard 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
PH5 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 PH5 optimizes an aes-
thetically appealing flush design that
conceals most of the operating parts.
WARNING
The Model TFP PH5 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.

Operation
In the standby condition, the design of
theModelTFPPH5issuchthata
suspended load of 80 lbs. (36 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 grasped easily, which fur-
ther deters tampering.
A fusible solder operating element se-
cures the linkage mechanism of the
Model TFP PH5. When the rated tem-
perature is reached, the solder melts
releasing the linkage mechanism that
holds the sprinkler closed. This allows
the deflector to extend outward and
water to flow.

Design
Criteria
The 5.6 K-factor, Model TFP PH5 (SIN
TY3390) Institutional Horizontal Side-
wall Sprinklers are intended for use in
fire protection systems designed in ac-
cordance with the standard installation
rules recognized by the applicable
Listing or Approval agency (e.g., UL
Listing is based on NFPA 13 require-
ments). The Model TFP PH5 (SIN
TY3390) must be installed with a de-
flector to ceiling distance of 4 to 12
inches (100 to 300 mm). To meet this
requirement, the centerline of the
sprinkler waterway must be located 4-
1/2 to 12-1/2 inches (114,3 to 317,5
mm) below the ceiling (Ref. Figure 2).
Only the Institutional Escutcheons
shown in Figure 3 can be utilized with
the Model TFP PH5.
NOTES
The Sprinkler Body must not extend
beyond the Institutional Escutcheon
(Ref. Figure 5). Otherwise the tamper
resistant design of the Model TFP PH5
will be compromised. Consequently,
Model 1752 Spacers, which are as-
sociated with other TFP institu-
tional sprinklers, cannot to be util-
ized.
Integrity of the tamper resistant design
of the Institutional Escutcheon 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. Figure 3); 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 2 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 PH5
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.
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 Escutch-
eon is held fast to the mounting sur-
face and that it sits squarely against
the ceiling around its entire perimeter.
Step 1. The TFP PH5 Sprinklers must
be installed horizontally with the cen-
terline of their waterway perpendicular
to the back wall surface, and the De-
flector must be located with the top
towards the ceiling (Ref. Figure 1).
Step 2. With the Institutional Escutch-
eon 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 Sprin-
kler Wrench (Ref. Fig. 5). The wrench-
ing teeth of the Sprinkler Wrench are
to be applied to the sprinkler wrench-
ing notch areas (Ref. Fig. 1).
Step 4. After the installation is com-
plete, make certain that the Institu-
tional 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 PH5
will be compromised.
Care and
Maintenance
The 5.6 K-factor, Model TFP PH5
Sprinklers must be maintained and
serviced in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions:
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 Institu-
tional Escutcheon is held fast to the
mounting surface. Damaged or altered
sprinklers are to be replaced immedi-
ately to avoid personal injury and to
prevent use for causing personal in-
jury, as well as to maintain the sprin-
kler system in an operative condition.
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system that
it controls, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection systems must
be obtained from the proper authori-
ties and all personnel who may be
affected by this action must be notified.
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 tempera-
tures 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 sprin-
klers must be replaced.
Care must be exercised to avoid dam-
age to the sprinklers - before, during,
and after installation. Sprinklers dam-
aged by dropping, striking, wrench
twist/slippage, or the like, must be re-
placed.
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
