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 sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

plicable approval agencies, the test-
ing is not representative of all possible
corrosive atmospheres. Consequently,
it is recommended that the end user
be consulted with respect to the suit-
ability of these coatings for any given
corrosive environment. The effects of
ambient temperature, 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 Series TY-B Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and maintained
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards of
the National Fire Protection Association,
in addition to the standards of any oth-
er authorities having jurisdiction. Failure
to do so may impair the performance of
these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintaining
their fire protection system and devices
in proper operating condition. Contact
the installing contractor or product man-
ufacturer with any questions.

General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprin-
klers described in this technical data
sheet are standard response, standard
coverage decorative 5 mm glass bulb
type spray sprinklers designed for use
in light and ordinary hazard, commercial
occupancies such as banks, hotels, and
shopping malls.
They are designed for installation along
a wall or the side of a beam and just
beneath a smooth ceiling. Sidewall
sprinklers are commonly used instead
of pendent or upright sprinklers due to
aesthetics or building construction con-
siderations, where piping across the
ceiling is not desirable.
The recessed version of the Series TY-B
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler is intend-
ed for use in areas with a nished wall.
It uses a two-piece Style 10 Recessed
Escutcheon. The Recessed Escutcheon
provides 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of recessed
adjustment or up to 3/4 inch (19,1 mm)
of total adjustment from the ush side-
wall position. The adjustment provided
by the Recessed Escutcheon reduces
the accuracy to which the xed pipe
nipples to the sprinklers must be cut.
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
atmospheres. Although corrosion re-
sistant coated sprinklers have passed
the standard corrosion tests of the ap-

TFP161

Operation
The glass bulb contains a uid which
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 ac-
tivate and water to ow.
Design
Criteria
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprin-
klers are intended for re protection
systems designed in accordance with
the standard installation rules recog-
nized by the applicable Listing or Ap-
proval agency (for example, UL Listing
is based on the requirements of NFPA
13, and FM Approval is based on the
requirements of the FM Loss Preven-
tion Data Sheets). Only the Style 10
Recessed Escutcheon, as applicable,
is to be used for recessed horizontal
installations.
Installation
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprin-
klers 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 inch
(1,6 mm) for the 135°F (57°C) to 3/32
inch (2,4 mm) for the 360°F (182°C) tem-
perature ratings.
A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a min-
imum-to-maximum torque of 7 to 14
ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). Higher levels
of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for insuf-
cient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler tting to suit.
Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers
The Series TY-B Horizontal and Ver-
tical Sidewall Sprinklers must be in-
stalled in accordance with the following
instructions.
Step 1. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers in-
stall in the horizontal position with their
centerline of waterway perpendicular to
the back wall and parallel to the ceiling.
The word “TOP” on the Deector is to
face towards the ceiling.
Vertical sidewall sprinklers install in the
pendent or upright position with the ar-
row on the Deector pointing away from
the wall.
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
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Figure 4). For wax-
coated sprinklers, use an 8 or 10 inch
adjustable Crescent wrench. With refer-
ence to Figure 1 or 2, apply the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench or the Crescent
wrench, as applicable, to the wrench
ats.
When installing wax-coated sprinklers
with the adjustable Crescent wrench,
exercise care to prevent damage to the
wax coating on the sprinkler wrench
ats or frame arms and, consequent-
ly, exposure of bare metal to the cor-
rosive environment. Open the jaws of
the wrench sufciently wide to pass
over the wrench ats without damaging
the wax coating. Before wrench-tight-

ening the sprinkler, adjust the jaws of
the wrench to contact only the sprinkler
wrench ats. After wrench tightening the
sprinkler, loosen the wrench jaws before
removing the wrench.
After installation, inspect the sprinkler
wrench ats and frame arms and re-
touch (repair) the wax coating when-
ever the coating has been damaged
and bare metal is exposed. Retouch
the wax coating on the wrench ats by
gently applying a heated 1/8 inch diam-
eter steel rod to the damaged areas of
wax to smooth it back over areas where
bare metal is exposed.
NOTICE
Only retouching of the wax coating ap-
plied to the wrench flats and frame arms
is permitted, and the retouching is to be
performed only at the time of the initial
sprinkler installation.
The steel rod should be heated only to
the point at which it can begin to melt
the wax, and appropriate precautions
need to be taken when handling the
heated rod in order to prevent the in-
staller from being burned.

Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprin-
klers must be maintained and serviced
in accordance with this section.
Before closing a re protection sys-
tem main control valve for maintenance
work on the re protection system that
it controls, obtain permission to shut
down the affected re protection sys-
tem from the proper authorities and no-
tify all personnel who may be affected
by this action.
The owner must assure that the sprin-
klers are not used for hanging any ob-
jects and that the sprinklers are only
cleaned by means of gently dusting with
a feather duster; otherwise, non-opera-
tion in the event of a re or inadvertent
operation may result.
Absence of an escutcheon, which is
used to cover a clearance, may delay
the time to sprinkler operation in a re
situation.
Sprinklers which 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 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. (Refer to Installation Section.)
The owner is responsible for the inspec-
tion, 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
(e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to the stan-
dards of any other authorities having
jurisdiction. Contact the installing con-
tractor or product manufacturer with
any questions.
Automatic sprinklers are recommended
to be inspected, tested, and maintained
by a qualied Inspection Service in ac-
cordance with local requirements and/
or national codes.
