Tyco TY-L Series User manual

General
Description
The Series TY-L , 5.6 K-factor, Hori-
zontal Sidewall Sprinklers are stand-
ard response - standard coverage, sol-
der type spray sprinklers designed for
use in light and ordinary hazard, com-
mercial occupancies such as banks,
hotels, shopping malls, offices, etc.
They are designed for installation
along a wall or the side of a beam and
just beneath a smooth ceiling. Horizon-
tal 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 desir-
able.
Corrosion resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the
life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond
that which would otherwise be ob-
tained when exposed to corrosive at-
mospheres. Although corrosion resis-
tant coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the appli-
cable approval agencies, the testing is
not representative of all possible cor-
rosive atmospheres. Consequently, it
is recommended that the end user be
consulted with respect to the suitability
of these coatings for any given corro-
sive environment. The effects of ambi-
ent temperature, concentration of
chemicals, and gas/chemical velocity,
should be considered, as a minimum,
along with the corrosive nature of the
chemical to which the sprinklers will be
exposed.
WARNINGS
The Series TY-L Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and main-
tained in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion 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.

Operation
A copper tube sealed by two stainless
steel balls holds a fusible alloy. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
alloy melts, the balls are forced toward
each other releasing the tension
mechanism, allowing the sprinkler to
operate.

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.

Design
Criteria
The 5.6 K-factor, Series TY-L Horizon-
tal Sidewall 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 NFPA 13 require-
ments). The Series TY-L Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinkler must be installed
with a deflector to ceiling distance of 4
to 6 inches (100 to 150 mm). To meet
this requirement the centerline of the
sprinkler waterway must be located 4-
5/16 to 6-5/16 inches (110 to 160 mm)
below the ceiling. Installation of the
Series TY-L Horizontal Sidewall Sprin-
klers in recessed escutcheons will void
all manufacturer’s warranties, as well
as possibly void the sprinkler’s Approv-
als and/or Listings.
Installation
TheSeriesTY-LSprinklersmustbe
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. 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-L Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers must be installed in ac-
cordance with the following instruc-
tions.
Step 1. The Series TY-L Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinklers must be installed
with their centerline of waterway paral-
lel to the ceiling and perpendicular to
the back wall surface. The word “TOP”
on the deflector must face upwards
toward the ceiling.
Step 2. After installing an escutcheon
(as applicable) over the sprinkler pipe
threads and with pipe thread sealant
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 2),
except that an 8 or 10 inch adjustable
Crescent wrench is to be used for wax
coated sprinklers. With reference to
Figure 1, the W-Type 9 Sprinkler
Wrench is to be applied to the wrench
area, or as applicable, the adjustable
Crescent wrench is to be applied to the
wrenching flanges.
When installing wax coated sprinklers
with the adjustable Crescent wrench,
additional care needs to be exercised
to prevent damage to the wax coating
on the sprinkler wrench flats or frame
arms and, consequently, exposure of
bare metal to the corrosive environ-
ment. The jaws of the wrench should
be opened sufficiently wide to pass
over the wrench flats without damag-
ing the wax coating. Before wrench
tightening the sprinkler, the jaws of the
wrench are to be adjusted to just con-
tact the sprinkler wrench flats. After
wrench tightening the sprinkler, loosen
the wrench jaws before removing the
wrench.
After installation, the sprinkler wrench
flatsandframearmsmustbein-
spected and the wax coating re-
touched (repaired) whenever the coat-
ing has been damaged and bare metal
is exposed. The wax coating on the
wrench flats can be retouched by gen-
tly applying a heated 1/8 inch diameter
steel rod to the areas of wax that have

been damaged, to smooth it back over
areas where bare metal is exposed.
NOTES
Only retouching of the wax coating ap-
plied to the wrench flats and frame
arms is permitted, and the retouching
is to be performed only at the time of
the initial sprinkler installation.
The steel rod should be heated only to
the point at which it can begin to melt
the wax, and appropriate precautions
need to be taken, when handling the
heated rod, in order to prevent the
installer from being burned.
If attempts to retouch the wax coating
with complete coverage are unsuc-
cessful, additional wax can be ordered
in the form of a wax stick (the end of
which is color coded). Only the correct
color coded wax is to be used, and
retouching of wrench flats and frame
arms is only permitted at the time of
initial sprinkler installation. With the
steel rod heated as previously de-
scribed, touch the rod to the area re-
quiring additional wax with the rod an-
gled downward, and then touch the
wax stick to the rod approximately
one-half inch away from the area re-
quiring retouching. The wax will melt
and run down onto the sprinkler.
Care and
Maintenance
TheSeriesTY-LSprinklersmustbe
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.
Frequent visual inspections are rec-
ommended to be initially performed for
corrosion resistant coated sprinklers,
after the installation has been com-
pleted, to verify the integrity of the cor-
rosion resistant coating. Thereafter,
annual inspections per NFPA 25
should suffice; however, instead of in-
specting from the floor level, a random
sampling of close-up visual inspec-
tions should be made, so as to better
determine the exact sprinkler condi-
tion and the long term integrity of the
corrosion resistant coating, as it may
be affected by the corrosive conditions
present.
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.
