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 dam-
age a sprinkler system or its compo-

General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor,
Upright (TY313) and Pendent (TY323)
Sprinklers described in this data sheet
are quick response, standard coverage,
decorative 3 mm glass bulb-type spray
sprinklers designed for use in light or
ordinary hazard, commercial occupan-
cies such as banks, hotels, and shop-
ping malls.
The recessed version of the Series TY-
FRB Pendent Sprinkler, where applica-
ble, is intended for use in areas with a
nished ceiling. This recessed pendent
sprinkler uses one of the following:
•
A two-piece Style 15 Recessed
Escutcheon with recessed adjust-
ment up to 5/8 inch (15,9 mm) from
the ush pendent position.
•
A two-piece Style 20 Recessed
Escutcheon with recessed adjust-
ment up to 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) from
the ush pendent position.
The adjustment provided by the
Recessed Escutcheon reduces the
accuracy to which the xed pipe drops
to the sprinklers must be cut.
Intermediate level versions of Series
TY-FRB Sprinklers are described in
Technical Data Sheet TFP357. Sprin-
kler guards and shields are described
in Technical Data Sheet TFP780.
NOTICE
The TYCO Series TY-FRB Sprinklers
described herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this doc-
ument, 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 maintain-
ing their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condition.

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.
Design
Criteria
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor,
Upright (TY313) and Pendent (TY323)
Sprinklers are intended for re protec-
tion systems designed in accordance
with the standard installation rules rec-
ognized by the applicable Listing or
Approval agency (such as, UL Listing
is based on the requirements of NFPA
13, and FM Approval is based on the
requirements of FM’s Loss Prevention
Data Sheets). Only the Style 15 or Style
20 Recessed Escutcheon is to be used
for recessed pendent installations.
Installation
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor,
Upright (TY313) and Pendent (TY323)
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance 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 bub-
ble should be present. The diameter
of the air bubble is approximately 1/16
inch (1,6 mm) for the 135°F (57°C) and
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 by applying a min-
imum to maximum torque of 7 to 14
ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). Higher levels
of torque can distort the sprinkler Inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for
insufcient adjustment in the Escutch-
eon Plate by under- or over-tightening
the sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of
the sprinkler tting to suit.
Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
The Series TY-FRB Upright and Pen-
dent Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the following
instructions.
Step 1. Install Pendent sprinklers in the
pendent position. Install upright sprin-
klers in the upright position.
Step 2. With pipe-thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand-
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
tting.

Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Figure 2). With ref-
erence to Figure 1, apply the W-Type 6
Sprinkler Wrench to the wrench ats.
Torque sprinklers 7 to 14 ft.-lbs. (9,5 to
19,0 Nm).
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
The Series TY-FRB Recessed Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions.
Step A. After installing the Style 15 or
Style 20 Mounting Plate over the sprin-
kler threads, and with pipe-thread
sealant applied to the pipe threads,
hand-tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting.
Step B. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type
7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Figure
3). With reference to Figure 1, apply the
W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench
to the sprinkler wrench ats. Torque
sprinklers 7 to 14 ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0
Nm).
Step C. After ceiling installation and n-
ishing, slide on the Style 15 or Style 20
Closure over the Series TY-FRB Sprin-
kler and push the Closure over the
Mounting Plate until its ange comes in
contact with the ceiling.
Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor,
Upright (TY313) and Pendent (TY323)
Sprinklers must be maintained and ser-
viced 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, obtain permission to
shut down the affected re protection
systems from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
Absence of the outer piece of an
escutcheon, which is used to cover
a clearance hole, can delay sprinkler
operation in a re situation.
The owner must assure that the sprin-
klers are not used for hanging any
objects and that the sprinklers are only
cleaned by means of gently dusting
with a feather duster; otherwise, non-
operation in the event of a re or inad-
vertent operation may result.
Sprinklers which are found to be leak-
ing or exhibiting visible signs of corro-
sion 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 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.)
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 Associa -
tion (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Contact the installing
contractor or sprinkler manufacturer
regarding any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems are rec-
ommended to be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualied Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
