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.

General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-L 5.6 and 8.0
K-factor Stainless Steel Pendent
and Recessed Pendent Sprin-
klers described herein are standard
response, standard coverage, solder
type sprinklers. They are designed for
use in light, ordinary, and extra-hazard
commercial occupancies such as res-
taurants, food service production facili-
ties, factories, refineries, and chemical
plants.
The Series TY-L Recessed Pendent
Sprinkler, where applicable, is intended
for use in areas with a finished 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 adjust-
ment or up to 1/2 in. (12,7 mm) of total
adjustment from the flush pendent
position. The adjustment provided by
the Recessed Escutcheon reduces the
accuracy to which the fixed pipe drops
to the sprinklers must be cut.
The TY-L Sprinkler is Stainless Steel
and is utilized to extend the life of a
sprinkler beyond that which might be
expected of copper alloy sprinklers
exposed to corrosive atmospheres.
Although corrosion resistant sprinklers
have passed the standard corrosion
tests of the applicable approval agen-
cies, the testing is not representative
of all possible corrosive atmospheres.
Consequently, it is recommended that
the end user be consulted with respect
to the suitability of Stainless Steel for
any given corrosive environment. The
effects of ambient temperature, con-
centration of chemicals, and gas/
chemical velocity, should be consid-
ered, as a minimum, along with the cor-
rosive nature of the chemical to which
the sprinklers will be exposed.
An intermediate level version of the
Series TY-L Pendent Sprinkler can be
obtained by utilizing the Series TY-L
Pendent Sprinkler in combination with
the Model S Shield.
NOTICE
The Series TY-L 5.6 and 8.0 K-fac-
tor Upright, Pendent, and Recessed
Pendent 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 (NFPA), 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 main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions. Sprinkler

Operation
A MONEL tube sealed by two stainless
steel balls holds a fusible alloy. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
alloy melts and the balls are forced
toward each other. This releases the
tension mechanism and allows the
sprinkler to operate.
Design
Criteria
The TYCO Series TY-L 5.6 and 8.0
K-factor Stainless Steel Pendent and
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers are
intended for fire protection systems
designed in accordance with the stan-
dard installation rules recognized by
the applicable Listing or Approval
agency, such as FM Approval based
on the requirements of FM Loss Pre-
vention Data Sheets. Use only the Style
20, as applicable, for recessed pendent
installations.
Installation
The TYCO Series TY-L 5.6 and 8.0
K-factor Stainless Steel Pendent and
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers must
be installed in accordance with this
section.
Note: TYCO series TY-L 8.0 K-factor Stain-
less Steel Pendent Sprinkler cannot be
installed in a recess pendent arrangement.
General Instructions
A leak tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of
7 to 14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N·m). A leak-
tight 3/4 in. NPT sprinkler joint should
be obtained with a torque of 10 to 20
lb-ft (13,6 to 27,1 N·m). Higher levels
of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for
insufficient adjustment in the escutch-
eon plate by under- or over-tightening
the sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of
the sprinkler fitting to suit.
CAUTION
The protective cap must remain over
the deflector to ensure the deflector
is not damaged during installation.
Failure to do so may result in equip-
ment damage and/or failure.
Series TY-L Pendent Sprinklers
Installation
The Series TY-L Pendent Sprinklers
must be installed in accordance with
the following instructions:
Step 1. Install pendent sprinklers in the
pendent position.
Step 2. 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, See Figure 4. With

reference to Figures 1 or 2, apply the
W-Type 9 Sprinkler Wrench to the
wrench area.
Step 4. Once the pendent sprinkler is
secure, remove protective cap from the
deflector.
Series TY-L 5.6 K-factor Pendent
and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
Installation
The Series TY-L 5.6 K-factor Pendent
and Recessed Pendent Sprinkler must
be installed in accordance with the fol-
lowing instructions:
Step 1. 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 2. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
10 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench,
See Figure 5. Apply the W-Type 10
Recessed Sprinkler Wrench to the
sprinkler wrenching flanges, as shown
in Figure 1.
CAUTION
Do not remove the protective cap over
the deflector until after the ceiling
and the Closure have been installed.
Failure to do so may result in equip-
ment damage and/or failure.
Step 3. After the ceiling has been
installed or the finish coat has been
applied, slide on the Style 20 Closure
over the Series TY-L Recessed Pendent
Sprinkler and push the Closure over the
Mounting Plate until its flange comes in
contact with the ceiling.
Step 4. Once the ceiling and Closure
are secured, remove the protective cap
from the deflector.
Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-L 5.6 and 8.0
K-factor Stainless Steel Pendent and
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers must be
maintained and serviced in accordance
with this section.
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 damage to the sprinklers before,
during, and after installation. Sprin-
klers damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must
be replaced.
Frequent visual inspections are rec-
ommended to be initially performed
for corrosion resistant coated sprin-
klers, after the installation has been
completed, to verify the integrity of the
corrosion-resistant coating. Thereafter,
annual inspections per NFPA 25 should
suffice; however, instead of inspecting
from the floor level, a random sampling
of close-up visual inspections should
be made so as to better determine the
exact sprinkler condition 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
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and devices
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION
ASSOCIATION, such as NFPA 25, in
addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. Contact
the installing contractor or product
manufacturer with any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
