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.

Series TY-FRB – 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor
Conventional (Old Style) Sprinklers
Quick Response
General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 and
8.0 K-factor, Conventional Sprinklers
described in this technical data sheet
are Quick Response, Standard Cover-
age, decorative 3 mm glass bulb type
spray sprinklers. These sprinklers are
intended to be installed either pendent
or upright and, in either position,
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 dened by
the automatic sprinkler system instal-
lation rules of the country and author-
ity having jurisdiction. The NATIONAL
FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION
(NFPA) permits the use of “Old Style
Sprinklers” where special construction
features require a unique water distri-
bution, for the protection of fur vaults,
or to replace 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 cor-
rosive 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 TYCO Series TY-FRB Sprinklers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the NFPA, 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 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 Conventional
Sprinklers are intended for re 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 NFPA 13 requirements. The
Series TY-FRB Conventional Sprinklers
are only for non-recessed applications.

Installation
The Series TY-FRB 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 sprin-
kler held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 in.
(1,6 mm) for the 135°F (57°C) to
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 with a torque of
7 to 14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N∙m). A leak-
tight 3/4 in. NPT sprinkler joint should
be obtained with a torque of 10 to
20 lb-ft (13,4 to 26,8 N∙m). 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 (See. Figure 2).
With reference to Figure 1, the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the Wrench Flats.
Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-FRB 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 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
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 sprinkler
that has a cracked bulb or that has lost
liquid from its bulb. Refer to the Instal-
lation section for additional information.
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. 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 inspec-
tion, 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 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.
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.
