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
installation 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.
General
Description
The Series TY-B, 80 and 115 K-factor,
Conventional Sprinklers described in
this data sheet are special response -
standard coverage, decorative 4 mm
glass bulb sprinklers designed for use
in accordance with the installation rules
recognized by the applicable Approval
agency (e.g., VdS). These sprinklers are
intended to be installed either pendent
or upright, and in either position, they
produce a spherical water discharge
pattern with approximately 50% of
the discharge directed upwards and
approximately 50% of the discharge
directed downwards.
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
recognized by the Approval agency, in
addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. Failure
to do so may impair the performance
of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condi-
tion. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any

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 acti-
vate and water to ow.
Installation
The Series TY-B Sprinklers 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 1,6 mm for
the 57°C to 2,4 mm for the 141°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 leak tight 3/4 inch NPT
sprinkler joint should be obtained with
a torque of 13 to 27 Nm. Higher levels
of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.

klers must be installed in accordance
with the following instructions.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand

Care and
Maintenance
The Series TY-B Sprinklers must be
maintained and serviced 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, permission to shut down the
affected re protection system must be
obtained from the proper authorities
and all personnel who may be affected
by this action must be notied.
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 other-
wise 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
damage to the sprinklers before,
during, and after installation. Sprin-
klers damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must
be replaced. Also, replace any sprin-
kler that has a cracked bulb or that has
lost liquid from its bulb. (Ref. Installa-
tion Section).
The owner is responsible for the inspec-
tion, testing, and maintenance of their
re protection system and devices in
