IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER
WARNING” that provides cautions
with respect to handling and
installation of sprinkler systems and
components. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its components
and cause the sprinkler to fail to
operate in a fire situation or cause it
to operate prematurely.

General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-B (5 mm Bulb) and
TY-FRB (3 mm Bulb), 10 mm orice Up-
right and Pendent Sprinklers are au-
tomatic sprinklers of the frangible bulb
type. They are spray sprinklers intend-
ed for use in re sprinkler systems de-
signed in accordance with the installa-
tion rules recognized by the applicable
Approval agency. Both the Upright and
Pendent Sprinklers produce a hemi-
spherical water distribution pattern be-
low the deector.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-B and TY-FRB Pendent Sprinklers,
where applicable, are intended for use
in areas with a nished ceiling. They
use a two-piece Style 70 (ISO 7/1-R3/8)
Recessed Escutcheon with 12 mm of
recessed adjustment or up to 20 mm of
total adjustment from the ush pendent
position. The adjustment provided by
the Recessed Escutcheon reduces the
accuracy to which the xed pipe drops
to the sprinklers must be cut.
NOTICE
The Series TY-B and TY-FRB Sprin-
klers described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with this
document and with the applicable
standards recognized by the Approval
Agency, in addition to the standards of
any other authorities having jurisdiction.
Failure to do so may impair the perfor-
mance 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 sprinkler manu-
facturer should be contacted with any
questions.

Operation
The glass Bulb contains a uid that ex-
pands 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 Series TY-B and TY-FRB
10 mm Orice Pendent and Upright
Sprinklers are intended for re protec-
tion systems designed in accordance
with the standard installation rules
recognized by the applicable Approv-
al agency. Only the Style 70 Escutch-
eon is to be used for recessed pendent
installation.

Installation
The TYCO Series TY-B and TY-FRB
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions:
NOTICE
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 inch
(1,6 mm) for the 135°F (57°C) to 3/32
inch (2,4 mm) for the 360°F (182°C)
temperature ratings.
Do not attempt to compensate for in-
sufficient adjustment in the Escutcheon
Plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
A leak-tight ISO 7/1-R3/8 sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a mini-
mum to maximum torque of 8 to 16 Nm.
Higher levels of torque can distort the
sprinkler Inlet with consequent leakage
or impairment of the sprinkler.
The Series TY-B and TY-FRB Pen-
dent and Upright Sprinklers must be
installed in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions.
Step 1. Pendent sprinklers are to be
installed in the pendent position, and
upright sprinklers are to be installed in
the upright position.
Step 2. With pipe-thread sealant ap-
plied to the pipe threads, hand-tight-
en the sprinkler into the sprinkler tting.
Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type 6
Sprinkler Wrench (Figure 4). With refer-
ence to Figure 1, the W-Type 6 Sprinkler
Wrench is to be applied to the sprinkler
wrench ats.
The Series TY-B and TY-FRB Re-
cessed Pendent Sprinklers must be
installed in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions.
Step 1. After installing the Style 70
Mounting Plate, over the sprinkler
threads with pipe-thread sealant ap-
plied to the pipe threads, hand-tight-
en the sprinkler into the sprinkler tting.
Step 2. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type
7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Figure
3). With reference to Figure 1, apply the
W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench
to the sprinkler wrench ats.
Step 3. After ceiling installation and
nishing, slide on the Style 70 Closure
over the Series TY-FRB Sprinkler and
push the Closure over the Mounting
Plate until its ange comes in contact
with the ceiling.
Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-B and TY-FRB
must be maintained and serviced
in accordance with the following
instructions:
NOTICE
Before closing a fire protection sys-
tem main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system that
it controls, obtain permission to shut
down the affected fire protection sys-
tem from the proper authorities and no-
tify all personnel who may be affected
by this action.
Absence of an escutcheon, which is
used to cover a clearance hole, can de-
lay the time to sprinkler operation in a
fire situation.
Sprinklers that are found to be leaking
or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion
must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated or otherwise
altered after leaving the factory. Modi-
ed sprinklers must be replaced. Sprin-
klers that have been exposed to corro-
sive 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 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. 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 in-
spection, 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 Association
(for example, NFPA 25), in addition to
the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. Contact the install-
ing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer
regarding any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems are recom-
mended to be inspected, tested, and
maintained by a qualied Inspection
Service in accordance with local re-
quirements and/or national code.
Limited

ranted solely to the original Buyer for
ten (10) years against defects in ma-

warranty will expire ten (10) years from
date of shipment by TFPP. No war-
ranty is given for products or compo-
nents manufactured by companies not
afliated by ownership with TFPP or
for products and components which

ed or repaired in accordance with the
standards recognized by the Approval
agency, as well as the standards of any
other Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
Materials found by TFPP to be defec-
tive shall be either repaired or replaced,
at TFPP’s sole option. TFPP neither as-
sumes, nor authorizes any person to
assume for it, any other obligation in
connection with the sale of products
or parts of products. TFPP shall not be
responsible for sprinkler system design
errors or inaccurate or incomplete in-
formation supplied by Buyer or Buyer’s
representatives.
In no event shall TFPP be liable, in con-
tract, tort, strict liability or under any
other legal theory, for incidental, in-
direct, special or consequential dam-
ages, including but not limited to labor
charges, regardless of whether TFPP
was informed about the possibility of
such damages, and in no event shall
TFPP’s liability exceed an amount equal
to the sales price.
The foregoing warranty is made in lieu
of any and all other warranties, express
or implied, including warranties of mer-
chantability and tness for a particular
purpose.
This limited warranty sets forth the ex-
clusive remedy for claims based on fail-
ure of or defect in products, materials
or components, whether the claim is
made in contract, tort, strict liability or
any other legal theory.
This warranty will apply to the full ex-
tent permitted by law. The invalidity,
in whole or part, of any portion of this
warranty will not affect the remainder.
