IMPORTANT
Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
regulatory and health information.
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
installation 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.

Series TY-FRL — 2.8, 5.6, and 8.0 K-factor
Upright, Pendent, and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
Quick Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The TYCO 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
commercial occupancies such as
banks, hotels, shopping malls, schools,
and hospitals.
The recessed version of the 2.8 and 5.6
K-factor, Series TY-FRL Pendent Sprin-
kler, where applicable, is intended for
use in areas with a nished ceiling. It
uses a two-piece Style 20 (1/2 in. NPT)
Recessed Escutcheon. The recessed
escutcheon provides 1/4 in. (6,4 mm)
of recessed adjustment or up to 1/2 in.
(12,7 mm) of total adjustment from the
ush pendent position. The adjustment
provided by the recessed escutcheon
reduces the accuracy to which the xed
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 Pendent
Sprinkler in combination with the Model
S4 Shield.
NOTICE
The Series TY-FRL Sprinklers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with
this document, as well as with the
applicable standards of the National
Fire Protection Association, in addition
to the standards of any other authori-
ties 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.

Installation
The TYCO Series TY-FRL Sprinklers
must be installed in accordance with
this section.
A leak tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of
7ft-lb to 14 ft-lb (9,5 N·m to 19,0 N·m).
A leak tight 3/4 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 10
ft-lb to 20ft-lb (13,4 N·m to 26,8 N·m).
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-
cient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under-or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler tting to suit.
Series TY-FRL Pendent and Upright
Sprinkler Installation
The Series TY-FRL Pendent and
Upright 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
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
tting.
Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type
9 Sprinkler Wrench as shown in Figure
6. Apply the wrench to the wrench area
as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3.
Series TY-FRL Recessed Pendent
Sprinkler Installation
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 tting.
Step B. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type
12 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench as
shown in Figure 7. Apply the wrench
to the sprinkler wrenching anges as
shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Step C. After the ceiling has been
installed or the nish coat has been
applied, slide on the style 20 escutch-
eon over the Series TY-FRL Sprinkler
and push the escutcheon over the
mounting plate until its ange comes
in contact with the ceiling.

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 sprin-
kler to operate.
Design Criteria
The TYCO Series TY-FRL Pendent
and Upright Sprinklers are intended
for re protection systems designed in
accordance with the standard instal-
lation rules recognized by the appli-
cable Listing or Approval agency - for
example, the UL Listing is based on
the requirements of NFPA 13, and FM
Approval is based on the requirements
of FM’s Loss Prevention Data Sheets.
Only the style 20 recessed escutch-
eon, as applicable, is to be used for
recessed pendent installations.

Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-FRL Sprinklers
must be maintained and serviced in
accordance with this section.
Before closing a re protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the re protection system that
it controls, permission to shut down the
affected re protection system must be
obtained from the proper authorities
and all personnel who may be affected
by this action must be notied.
Absence of an escutcheon, which is
used to cover a clearance hole, may
delay the time to sprinkler operation in
a re 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-
ed or over-heated sprinklers must be
replaced.
Care must be exercised to avoid
damage to the sprinklers -before,
during, and after installation. Sprin-
klers damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must
be replaced.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their re protection system and devices
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the National Fire Protection Associ-
ation such as NFPA 25, in addition to
the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. Contact the install-
ing contractor or product manufacturer
with any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualied Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
