Operation
The glass Bulb contains a fluid which
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass Bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.
Installation
The Series TY-B Sprinklers must be
installed in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions:
NOTES
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 1,6 mm for
the 57°C to 2,4 mm for the 182°C tem-
perature ratings.
A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 9
to 19 Nm. A maximum of 28 Nm of
torque may be used to install sprin-
klers with 1/2 NPT connections. A leak
tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 13

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.

to 27 Nm. A maximum of 40 Nm of
torque is to be used to install sprinklers
with 3/4 NPT connections. Higher lev-
els of torque may distort the sprinkler
inlet and cause leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for insuffi-
cient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
The Series TY-B Conventional
Sprinklers must be installed in ac-
cordance with the following instruc-
tions.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant ap-
plied to the pipe threads, hand tighten
the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.
Step 2. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2) or
W-Type 7 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Fig-
ure 3). With reference to Figure 1, the
W-Type 6 or W-Type 7 Sprinkler
Wrench is to be applied to the wrench
flats.
Care and
Maintenance
The Series TY-B Sprinklers must be
maintained and serviced in accord-
ance with the following instructions:
NOTE
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 system must be
obtained from the proper authorities
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
painted, plated, coated or otherwise
altered after leaving the factory. Modi-
fied 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 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
