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
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 TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-fac-
tor, Conventional Sprinklers (TY365)
described in this data sheet are stan-
dard response -standard coverage,
decorative 5 mm glass bulb type
spray sprinklers. 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.
Conventional sprinklers are generally
used with Ordinary and Extra High
Hazard Class Systems, as defined by
the automatic sprinkler system installa-
tion rules of the country and authority
having jurisdiction. The NFPA permits
the use of “Old Style Sprinklers” where
special construction features require a
unique water distribution; for the pro-
tection of fur vaults; or, the replace-
ment of similar sprinklers that had been
installed prior to 1955.
NOTICE
The TYCO Series TY-B 5.6 K-factor
Conventional Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and main-
tained in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association, in addition to the stan-
dards of any other authorities having
jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair
the performance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.

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.
Design
Criteria
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Conventional Sprinklers (TY365) are
intended for fire protection systems
designed in accordance with the stan-
dard installation rules recognized by
the applicable Listing or Approval
agency (e.g., UL Listing is based on
NFPA 13 requirements). The Series
TY-B Conventional Sprinklers are only
for non-recessed applications.

Installation
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Conventional Sprinklers (TY365) 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)
temperature ratings.
A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a 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.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied 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 (Figure 2), except
that an 8 or 10 inch adjustable Crescent
wrench is to be used for wax coated
sprinklers. With reference to Figure 1,
the W-Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench or the
Crescent wrench, as applicable, is to
be applied to the wrench flats.
Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-fac-
tor, Conventional Sprinklers (TY365)
must be maintained and serviced in
accordance with this section.
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected fire protection
systems from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
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 other-
wise altered after leaving the factory.
Modified 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
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and devices
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the National Fire Protection Asso-
ciation (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to
the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. Contact the install-
ing contractor or sprinkler manufac-
turer regarding any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
