Series TY-FRL — 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor
Extended Coverage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
Quick & Standard Response (Light Hazard)
General
Description
The Series TY-FRL, 5.6, and 8.0
K-factor, Extended Coverage Hori-
zontal Sidewall Sprinklers are solder
type spray sprinklers designed for use
in hydraulically calculated sprinkler
systems in light hazard, commercial
occupancies such as churches, res-
taurant seating areas, hotels, educa-
tional facilities, ofces, etc. With their
coverage up to 16 ft (4,9 m) wide by 24
ft (7,3 m) long, they are designed for
installation along a wall or the side of a
beam and just beneath a smooth, at,
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 sensitivity
rating of the Series TY-FRL provides for
a quick response extended coverage
(QREC) rating for many of the coverage
areas detailed in Table B and Table C.
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.

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 Series TY-FRL Extended Cov-
erage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
must be installed and utilized in light
hazard occupancies, under smooth,
at, horizontal ceilings as outlined in
the applicable installation standard rec-
ognized by the approval agency – for
example, UL recognizes NFPA 13, and
