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 Series TY-B, 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor,
Conventional Sprinklers described in
this data sheet are standard 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 approxi-
mately 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 dened by
the automatic sprinkler system instal-
lation 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
protection of fur vaults; or, the replace-
ment of similar sprinklers that had been
installed prior to 1955.
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.
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.

areas where bare metal is exposed.
NOTES: 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.
If attempts to retouch the wax coating
with complete coverage are unsuccess-
ful, additional wax can be ordered in the
form of a wax stick (the end of which
is color coded). Only the correct color
coded wax is to be used, and retouch-
ing of wrench ats and frame arms
is only permitted at the time of initial
sprinkler installation. With the steel rod
Design
Criteria
The Series TY-B Conventional Sprin-
klers are intended for re protection
systems designed in accordance
with the standard 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 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 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 with a torque of 7
to 14 ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). A leak
tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint should
be obtained with a 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.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
tting.
Step 2. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. 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 ats.
When installing wax coated sprinklers
with the adjustable Crescent wrench,
additional care needs to be exercised
to prevent damage to the wax coating
on the sprinkler wrench ats or frame
arms and, consequently, exposure of
bare metal to the corrosive environ-
ment. The jaws of the wrench should be
opened sufciently wide to pass over
the wrench ats without damaging the
wax coating. Before wrench tightening
the sprinkler, the jaws of the wrench
are to be adjusted to just contact the
sprinkler wrenching anges. After
wrench tightening the sprinkler, loosen
the wrench jaws before removing the
wrench.
After installation, the sprinkler wrench
ats and frame arms must be inspected
and the wax coating retouched
(repaired) whenever the coating has
been damaged and bare metal is
exposed. The wax coating on the
wrench ats can be retouched by gen-
tly applying a heated 1/8 inch diameter
steel rod to the areas of wax that have
been damaged, to smooth it back over

heated as previously described, touch
the rod to the area requiring additional
wax with the rod angled downward,
and then touch the wax stick to the
rod approximately one-half inch away
from the area requiring retouching. The
wax will melt and run down onto the
sprinkler.
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 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).
Frequent visual inspections are recom-
mended to be initially performed for
corrosion resistant coated sprinklers,
after the installation has been com-
pleted, to verify the integrity of the
corrosion resistant coating. Thereafter,
annual inspections per NFPA 25 should
sufce; however, instead of inspecting
from the oor level, a random sampling
of close-up visual inspections should
be made, so as to better determine the
exact sprinkler condition and the long
term integrity of the corrosion resistant
coating, as it may be affected by the
corrosive conditions present.
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 Association
(e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to the stan -
dards of any other authorities having
jurisdiction. The installing contractor
or sprinkler manufacturer should be
contacted relative to any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualied Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
