IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER
WARNING” that provides cau-
tions with respect to handling and
installation of sprinkler systems and
components. Improper handling and
installation can permanently dam-
age 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.

General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-B, 2.8, 5.6, and
8.0 K-factor, Upright and Pendent
Sprinklers described in this data sheet
are standard response - standard
coverage, decorative 5 mm glass bulb
type spray sprinklers designed for use
in light, ordinary, or extra hazard, com-
mercial occupancies such as banks,
hotels, shopping malls, factories,
reneries, and chemical plants.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-B Pendent Sprinkler, where appli-
cable, is intended for use in areas with
a nished ceiling. It uses a two-piece
Style 10 (1/2 inch NPT) or Style 40 (3/4
inch NPT) 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 pendent
position. The adjustment provided by
the Recessed Escutcheon reduces the
accuracy to which the xed pipe drops
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 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
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.
An intermediate level version of the
Series TY-B Pendent Sprinkler can be
obtained by utilizing the Series TY-B
Pendent Sprinkler in combination with
the Model S2 Shield.
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 Associa-
tion, 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
devices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted with
any questions.

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
activate and water to ow.

Installation
The TYCO Series TY-B, 2.8, 5.6, and
8.0 K-factor, Upright and Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance 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 sprinkler
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.
A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained by applying
a minimum-to-maximum torque of 7
to 14 ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). Obtain a
leak-tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint
by applying a minimum to maximum
torque of 10 to 20 ft.-lbs. (13,4 to 26,8
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.
Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
The Series TY-B Upright and Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions.
Step 1. Install pendent sprinklers in
the pendent position; install upright
sprinklers in the upright position.
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 7). For
wax-coated sprinklers, use an 8 or
10 inch adjustable Crescent wrench.
With reference to Figures 1 through 4,
apply the W-Type 7 Sprinkler Wrench
or the adjustable Crescent wrench,
as applicable is to be applied 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, consequently,
exposure of bare metal to the corrosive
environment. Open the jaws of the
wrench sufciently wide to pass over
the wrench ats without damaging the
wax coating. Before wrench tightening
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
retouch (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
diameter 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
applied 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
installer from being burned.
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
The Series TY-B Recessed Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions.
Step A. After installing the Style 10
or 40 Mounting Plate, as applicable,
over the sprinkler threads and with
pipe-thread sealant applied to the pipe
threads, hand-tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler tting.
Step B. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type
7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Figure
8). With reference to Figure 3 or 4, the
W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench
to the sprinkler wrench ats.
Step C. After the ceiling is installed or
the nish coat is applied, slide on the
Style 10 or 40 Closure over the Series
TY-B Sprinkler and push the Closure
over the Mounting Plate until its ange
contacts the ceiling.
Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-B, 2.8, 5.6, and
8.0 K-factor, Upright and Pendent
Sprinklers must be maintained and ser-
viced in accordance with this section.
Before closing a re protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the re protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected re protection
system from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
The owner must assure that the
sprinklers are not used for hanging
any objects and that the sprinklers are
only cleaned by means of gently dust-
ing with a feather duster; otherwise,
non-operation 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 leak-
ing or exhibiting visible signs of corro-
sion must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated, or otherwise
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 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. (Ref. Installation Section.)
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 Associa -
tion (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Contact the installing
contractor or sprinkler manufacturer
regarding any questions.
Automatic sprinklers are recommended
to be inspected, tested, and maintained
by a qualied Inspection Service in
accordance with local requirements
and/or national codes.
