Tyco TY-FRL-5.6 Series User manual

General
Description
The Series TY-FRL, 5.6 K-factor, Hori-
zontal Sidewall Sprinklers are quick
response - standard coverage, solder
type spray sprinklers designed for use
in light and ordinary hazard, commer-
cial occupancies such as banks, ho-
tels, shopping malls, offices, etc. They
are designed for installation along a
wall or the side of a beam and just
beneath a smooth ceiling. Horizontal
sidewall sprinklers are commonly used
instead of pendent or upright sprin-
klers due to aesthetics or building con-
struction considerations, where piping
across the ceiling is not desirable.
WARNINGS
The Series TY-FRL Sprinklers de-
scribed herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the National Fire Pro-
tection Association, in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failuretodosomay
impair the performance of these de-
vices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted
with any questions.

Operation
The fusible link (heat collector) assem-
bly is comprised of two halves that are
joined together by a thin layer of solder.
When the rated temperature is
reached, the solder melts and the two
link halves separate, allowing the
sprinkler to operate.
Design
Criteria
The 5.6 K-Factor, Series TY-FRL Hori-
zontal Sidewall Sprinklers are in-
tended for fire protection systems de-
signed in accordance with the
standard installation rules recognized
by the applicable Listing or Approval
agency (e.g., UL Listing is based on
NFPA 13 requirements); however, the
minimum distance between sprinklers
to prevent cold soldering is 8 feet (2,4
m). The Series TY-FRL Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinkler must be installed
with a deflector to ceiling distance of 4
to 6 inches (100 to 150 mm). To meet
this requirement the centerline of the
sprinkler waterway must be located 4-
5/16 to 6-5/16 inches (110 to 160 mm)
below the ceiling. Installation of the
Series TY-FRL Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers in recessed escutcheons
will void all manufacturer’s warranties,
as well as possibly void the sprinkler’s
Approvals and/or Listings.

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 in-
stallation 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.

Installation
The Series TY-FRL Sprinklers must be
installed in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions:
NOTES
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). A maxi-
mum of 21 ft. lbs. (28,5 Nm) of torque
may be used to install sprinklers with
1/2 NPT connections. Higher levels of
torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of
the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for insuffi-
cient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
The Series TY-FRL Horizontal Side-
wall Sprinklers must be installed in
accordance with the following instruc-
tions.
Step 1. The Series TY-FRL Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinklers must be installed
with their centerline of waterway paral-
lel to the ceiling and perpendicular to
the back wall surface. The word “TOP”
on the deflector must face upwards
toward the ceiling.
Step 2. After installing an escutcheon
(as applicable) over the sprinkler pipe
threads and 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
9 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2).
With reference to Figure 1, the W-Type
9 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the wrench area.

Care and
Maintenance
The Series TY-FRL Sprinklers must be
maintained and serviced in accord-
ance with the following instructions:
NOTES
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system that
it controls, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection system must be
obtained from the proper 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 otherwise
altered after leaving the factory. Modi-
fied or over-heated sprinklers must be
replaced.
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 re-
placed.
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 Protec-
tion Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in
addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. The in-
stalling contractor or sprinkler manu-
facturer should be contacted relative to
any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected,
tested, and maintained by a qualified
Inspection Service in accordance with
local requirements and/or national
code.
