General
Description
The Series TY-FRL, 2.8, 5.6, and 8.0 K-
factor, Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
described in this data sheet 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, schools, hospi-
tals, etc.
The recessed version of the 2.8 and
5.6 K-factor, Series TY-FRL Pendent
Sprinkler, where applicable, is intend-
ed for use in areas with a finished ceil-
ing. 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 adjustment
or up to 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of total ad-
justment from the flush pen-dent po-
sition. 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
Pendent Sprinkler can be obtained
by utilizing the Series TY-FRL Pen-
dent Sprinkler in combination with the
Model S4 Shield.
NOTICE
The Series TY-FRL Sprinklers de-
scribed herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the appli-
cable standards of the National Fire
Protection Association, in addition to
the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. Failure to do so
may impair the performance of these
devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condi-
tion. The installing contractor or sprin-
kler manufacturer should be contact-
ed 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-
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.

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 accor-
dance 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 appli-
cable, is to be used for recessed pen-
dent installations.
Installation
The Series TY-FRL Sprinklers must
be installed in accordance with this
section.
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
maximum of 21 ft. lbs. (28,5 Nm) of
torque may be used to install sprin-
klers with 1/2 NPT connections. A
leak tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 10
to 20 ft./lbs. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm). A max-
imum of 30 ft./lbs. (40,7 Nm) of torque
is to be used to install sprinklers with
3/4 NPT connections. Higher levels of
torque may distort the sprinkler in-
let and cause leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for insuf-
ficient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under-or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
Series TY-FRL Pendent and Upright
Sprinkler Installation
The Series TY-FRL Pendent and Up-
right Sprinklers must be installed in
accordance with this section.
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 Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions.
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 accor-
dance with this section.
Before closing a fire protection sys-
tem main control valve for mainte-
nance work on the fire protection sys-
tem that it controls, permission to shut
down the affected fire protection sys-
tem must be obtained from the prop-
er 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
replaced.
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 oth-
er authorities having jurisdiction. The
installing contractor or sprinkler man-
ufacturer should be contacted relative
to any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected, test-
ed, and maintained by a qualified In-
spection Service in accordance with
local requirements and/or national
codes.
