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-
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-fac-
tor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick
Response described in this technical
data sheet are quick response, stan-
dard coverage, decorative 3 mm glass
bulb type spray sprinklers. These sprin-
klers are intended to be installed either
pendent or upright, and in either posi-
tion, they produce a spherical water
discharge pattern with approximately
50% of the discharge directed upwards
and approximately 50% of the dis-
charge directed downwards.
Conventional sprinklers are gener-
ally 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 distribution; for the pro-
tection of fur vaults; or, the replace-
ment of similar sprinklers that had been
installed prior to 1955.
NOTICE
The Series TY-FRB Sprinklers de-
scribed 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 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.

Installation
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-fac-
tor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick
Response 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 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 286°F (141°C) tem-
perature 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 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).
With reference to Figure 1, the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the wrench ats.

Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-fac-
tor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick

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

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. (Refer to Installation Section.)
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their re protection system and devices
