IMPORTANT
Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
regulatory and health information.
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-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
applicable, is intended for use in areas
with a finished 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 in. (15,9 mm) from
the ush pendent position.
•
A two-piece Style 20 Recessed
Escutcheon with recessed adjust-
ment up to 1/2 in. (12,7 mm) from
the ush pendent position.
The adjustment provided by the
Recessed Escutcheon reduces the
accuracy to which the fixed 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 document, as well as with the
applicable standards of the National
Fire Protection Association, in addition
to the standards of any other authori-
ties 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-FRB, 5.6 K-factor,
Upright (TY313) and Pendent (TY323)
Sprinklers are intended for fire protec-
tion systems designed in accordance
with the standard installation rules
recognized 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 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 in. (1,6 mm) for the 135°F (57°C) and
3/32 in. (2,4 mm) for the 286°F (141°C)
temperature ratings.
A leak-tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a
minimum to maximum torque of 7 to
14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N·m). Higher levels
of torque can distort the sprinkler Inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for
insufficient adjustment in the Escutch-
eon Plate by under- or over-tightening
the sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of
the sprinkler fitting to suit.
Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
The Series TY-FRB Upright and
Pendent 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
fitting.
Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting 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 flats.
Torque sprinklers 7 to 14 lb-ft (9,5 to
19,0 N·m).
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
sprinkler threads, and with pipe-thread
sealant applied to the pipe threads,
hand-tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting.
Step B. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting 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 flats. Torque
sprinklers 7 to 14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N·m).
Step C. After ceiling installation and
finishing, slide on the Style 15 or Style
20 Closure over the Series TY-FRB
Sprinkler and push the Closure over the
Mounting Plate until its flange 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 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.
Absence of the outer piece of an
escutcheon, which is used to cover
a clearance hole, can delay sprinkler
operation in a fire 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 fire or inad-
vertent operation may result.
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 product manufacturer
with any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems are rec-
ommended to be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
