Tyco TY-FRL Series User manual

General
Description
The Series TY-FRL, 2.8, 5.6, and 8.0
K-factor, Upright and Pendent Sprin-
klers described in this data sheet are
quick response - standard coverage,
solder type spray sprinklers designed
for use in light and ordinary hazard,
commercial occupancies such as
banks, hotels, shopping malls,
schools, hospitals, etc.
The recessed version of the 2.8 and
5.6 K-factor, Series TY-FRL Pendent
Sprinkler, where applicable, is in-
tended for use in areas with a finished
ceiling. It uses a two-piece Style 20
(1/2 inch NPT) Recessed Escutcheon.
The Recessed Escutcheon provides
1/4 inch (6,4 mm) of recessed adjust-
ment or up to 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of
total adjustment from the flush pen-
dent position. The adjustment provided
by the Recessed Escutcheon reduces
the accuracy to which the fixed pipe
drops to the sprinklers must be cut
An intermediate level version of the 5.6
and 8.0 K-factor, Series TY-FRL Pen-
dent Sprinkler can be obtained by util-
izing the Series TY-FRL Pendent
Sprinkler in combination with the
Model S4 Shield.
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.

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-

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.

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 Series TY-FRL Pendent and Up-
right Sprinklers are intended for fire
protection systems designed in ac-
cordance with the standard installation
rules recognized by the applicable
Listing or Approval agency (e.g., UL
Listing is based on the requirements of
NFPA 13, and FM Approval is based
on the requirements of FM’s Loss Pre-
vention Data Sheets). Only the Style
20 Recessed Escutcheon, as applica-
ble, is to be used for recessed pendent
installations.
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. A leak tight 3/4
inch NPT sprinkler joint should be ob-
tained with a torque of 10 to 20 ft.lbs.
(13,4 to 26,8 Nm). A maximum of 30
ft.lbs. (40,7 Nm) of torque is to be used
to install sprinklers with 3/4 NPT con-
nections. 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 Pendent and Up-
right Sprinklers must be installed in
accordance with the following instruc-
tions.
Step 1. Pendent sprinklers are to be
installed in the pendent position, and
upright sprinklers are to be installed in
the upright position.
Step 2. With pipe thread sealant ap-
plied 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 6).
With reference to Figures 1, 2, and 3,
the W-Type 9 Sprinkler Wrench is to be
applied to the wrench area.
The Series TY-FRL Recessed Pen-
dent Sprinklers must be installed in
accordance with the following instruc-
tions.
Step A. After installing the Style 20
Mounting Plate, as applicable, 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
12 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.
Figure 7). With reference to Figure 1,
or 2, the W-Type 12 Recessed Sprin-
kler Wrench is to be applied to the
sprinkler wrenching flanges.
Step C. After the ceiling has been in-
stalled or the finish coat has been ap-
plied, slide on the Style 20 Closure
over the Series TY-FRL Sprinkler and
push the Closure over the Mounting
Plate until its flange comes in contact
with the ceiling.

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
codes.
