Tyco TY-FRL Series User manual

General
Description
The Series TY-FRL, 5.6, and 8.0
K-factor, Extended Coverage Horizon-
tal Sidewall Sprinklers are solder type
spray sprinklers designed for use in
hydraulically calculated sprinkler sys-
tems in light hazard, commercial oc-
cupancies such as churches, restau-
rant seating areas, hotels, educational
facilities, offices, etc. With their cover-
age up to 16 feet (4,9 m) wide by 24
feet (7,3 m) long, they are designed for
installation along a wall or the side of a
beam and just beneath a smooth, flat,
horizontal ceiling. Horizontal sidewall
sprinklers are commonly used instead
of pendent or upright sprinklers due
to aesthetics or building construction
considerations where piping across
the ceiling is not desirable.
The fast response thermal sensitiv-
ity rating of the Series TY-FRL pro-
vides for a quick response extended
coverage (QREC) rating for many of
the coverage areas detailed in Tables
B and C.
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 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 Series TY-FRL Extended Cov-
erage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
must be installed and utilized in Light
Hazard Occupancies, under smooth,
flat, horizontal ceilings as outlined in
the applicable installation standard
recognized by the Approval Agency
(e.g., UL recognizes NFPA 13, and FM
recognizes the FM Loss Prevention
Data Sheets). Installation of the Series
TY-FRL Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
in recessed escutcheons will void all
Series TY-FRL — 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor

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.

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
code.
Care and
Maintenance
The Series TY-FRL Sprinklers must
be maintained and serviced in accor-
dance with the following instructions:
NOTICE
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 Pro-
tection Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in
manufacturer’s warranties, as well as
possibly void the sprinkler’s Approvals
and/or Listings.
Installation
The Series TY-FRL Sprinklers must be
installed in accordance with the fol-
lowing instructions:
NOTICE
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 insuf-
ficient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
Step 1. The Series TY-FRL Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinklers must be installed
with their centerline of waterway par-
allel to the ceiling and perpendicu-
lar to the back wall surface. The word
“TOP” on the deflector must face up-
wards toward the ceiling.
Step 2. After installing an escutcheon
(as applicable) over the sprinkler pipe
threads and with pipe thread seal-
ant 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 3).
With reference to Figure 1 or 2, the W-
Type 9 Sprinkler Wrench is to be ap-
plied to the wrench area.

NOTES
Backwall (where sprinkler is located) by sidewall (length of throw).1.
Requirement is based on minimum flow in GPM from each sprinkler. The indicted residual pressures are based on the nominal2.
K-factor.
The centerline of the sprinkler waterway is located 7/16 inch (11,1 mm) below the deflector (Ref. Figures 1 and 2).3.
Minimum spacing is for lateral distance between sprinklers located along a single wall. Otherwise adjacent sprinklers (i.e.,4.
sidewall sprinklers on an adjacent wall, on an opposite wall, or pendent sprinklers) must be located outside of the maximum listed
protection area of the extended coverage sidewall sprinkler being utilized.
