IMPORTANT

Always refer to Technical Data

Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER

WARNING” that provides cau-

tions with respect to handling

and installation of sprinkler sys-

tems and components. Improp-

er handling and installation can

permanently damage a sprin-

kler system or its components

and cause the sprinkler to fail

to operate in a ﬁre situation or cause

it to operate prematurely.

General

Description

The Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor, Hor-

izontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprin-

klers described in this data sheet

are quick response -standard cover-

age, decorative 3 mm glass bulb type

spray sprinklers designed for use in

light and ordinary hazard, commer-

cial occupancies such as banks, ho-

tels, shopping malls, etc. They are de-

signed for installation along a wall or

the side of a beam and just beneath a

smooth ceiling. Sidewall sprinklers are

commonly used instead of pendent or

upright sprinklers due to aesthetics or

building construction considerations,

where piping across the ceiling is not

desirable.

The recessed version of the Series

TY-FRB Horizontal Sidewall Sprin-

kler is intended for use in areas with

a ﬁnished wall. It uses a two-piece

Style 10 Recessed Escutcheon with

1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of recessed adjust-

ment or up to 3/4 inch (19,1 mm) of to-

tal adjustment from the ﬂush sidewall

position, or a two-piece Style 20 Re-

cessed Escutcheon with 1/4 inch (6,4

mm) of recessed adjustment or up to

1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of total adjustment

from the ﬂush sidewall position. The

adjustment provided by the Recessed

Escutcheon reduces the accuracy

to which the ﬁxed pipe nipples 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 ob-

tained when exposed to corrosive at-

mospheres. Although corrosion resis-

tant coated sprinklers have passed the

standard corrosion tests of the appli-

cable approval agencies, the testing is

not representative of all possible cor-

rosive atmospheres. Consequently, it

is recommended that the end user be

consulted with respect to the suitabil-

ity of these coatings for any given cor-

rosive environment. The effects of am-

bient 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-FRB Sprinklers de-

scribed herein must be installed and

maintained in compliance with this

document, as well as with the appli-

cable standards of the National Fire

Protection Association, 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 main-

taining their ﬁre protection system

and devices in proper operating con-

dition. Contact the installing contrac-

tor or sprinkler manufacturer with any

questions.

Installation

The Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor, Hori-

zontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers

must be installed in accordance with

this section.

General Instructions

Do not install any bulb type sprin-

kler 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 diam-

eter 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 286°F

(141°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 sprin-

kler and cause leakage or impairment

of the sprinkler.

Do not attempt to make-up for insuf-

ﬁcient adjustment in the escutcheon

plate by under-or over-tightening the

sprinkler. Readjust the position of the

sprinkler ﬁtting to suit.

Series TY-FRB Horizontal and

Vertical Sidewall Sprinkler

Installation

The Series TY-FRB Horizontal and

Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers must be

installed in accordance with the fol-

lowing instructions.

Step 1. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers

are to be installed in the horizontal po-

sition with their centerline of waterway

perpendicular to the back wall and

parallel to the ceiling. The word “TOP”

on the Deﬂector is to face towards the

ceiling.

Vertical sidewall sprinklers are to be

installed in the pendent or upright po-

sition with the arrow on the Deﬂector

pointing away from the wall.

Step 2. With pipe thread sealant ap-

plied to the pipe threads, hand tighten

the sprinkler into the sprinkler ﬁtting.

Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the

sprinkler ﬁtting using only the W-Type

6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 5),

With reference to Figure 1 or 2, the W-

Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be ap-

plied to the wrench ﬂats.

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.

Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler

Installation

The Series TY-FRB Recessed Hori-

zontal Sidewall Sprinklers must be

installed in accordance with this

section.

Step A. Recessed horizontal sidewall

sprinklers are to be installed in the

horizontal position with their center-

line of waterway perpendicular to the

back wall and parallel to the ceiling.

The word “TOP” on the Deﬂector is to

face towards the ceiling.

Step B. After installing the Style 10 or

20 Mounting Plate over the sprinkler

threads, hand tighten the sprinkler into

the sprinkler ﬁtting.

Step C. Tighten the sprinkler into the

sprinkler ﬁtting using only the W-Type

7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.

Figure 6). With reference to Figure

1, the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler

Wrench is to be applied to the sprin-

kler wrench ﬂats.

Step D. After the ceiling has been in-

stalled or the ﬁnish coat has been ap-

plied, slide on the Style 10 or 20 Clo-

sure over the Series TY-FRB Sprinkler

and push the Closure over the Mount-

ing Plate until its ﬂange comes in con-

tact with the ceiling.

Care and

Maintenance

The Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor, Hori-

zontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers

must be maintained and serviced in

accordance with this section.

Before closing a ﬁre protection sys-

tem main control valve for mainte-

nance work on the ﬁre protection sys-

tem that it controls, permission to shut

down the affected ﬁre protection sys-

tem must be obtained from the prop-

er authorities and all personnel who

may be affected by this action must

be notiﬁed.

Absence of an escutcheon, which is

used to cover a clearance hole, may

delay the time to sprinkler operation in

a ﬁre situation.

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.

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 dam-

age to the sprinklers before, during,

and after installation. Sprinklers dam-

aged 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. Installa-

tion Section).

The owner must assure that the sprin-

klers are not used for hanging any ob-

jects and that the sprinklers are only

cleaned by means of gently dusting

with a feather duster; otherwise, non-

operation in the event of a ﬁre or inad-

vertent operation may result.

Frequent visual inspections are rec-

ommended to be initially performed

for corrosion resistant coated sprin-

klers, after the installation has been

completed, to verify the integrity of the

corrosion resistant coating. Thereaf-

ter, annual inspections per NFPA 25

should sufﬁce; however, instead of in-

specting from the ﬂoor level, a random

sampling of close-up visual inspec-

tions should be made, so as to better

determine the exact sprinkler condi-

tion and the long term integrity of the

corrosion resistant coating, as it may

be affected by the corrosive condi-

tions present.

The owner is responsible for the in-

spection, testing, and maintenance

of their ﬁre protection system and de-

vices in compliance with this docu-

ment, as well as with the applicable

standards of the National Fire Pro-

tection Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in

addition to the standards of any oth-

er authorities having jurisdiction. The

installing contractor or sprinkler man-

ufacturer should be contacted relative

to any questions.

It is recommended that automatic

sprinkler systems be inspected, test-

ed, and maintained by a qualiﬁed In-

spection Service in accordance with

local requirements and/or national

codes.
