General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-L, 5.6 and 8.0
K-factor, Upright and Pendent Sprin-
klers described in this data sheet are
standard response -standard cover-
age, solder type spray sprinklers de-
signed for use in light, ordinary, and
extra hazard, commercial occupan-
cies such as banks, hotels, shopping
malls, factories, refineries, chemical
plants, etc.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-L Pendent Sprinkler, where appli-
cable, is intended for use in areas with
a finished ceiling. It uses a two-piece
Style 20 (1/2 inch NPT) or Style 30
(3/4 inch 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 to-
tal 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.
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 suitabil-
ity of these coatings for any given cor-
rosive environment. The effects of am-
bient 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.
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 TYCO Series TY-L, 5.6 and 8.0 K-
factor, Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with
this document, as well as with the ap-
plicable 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 de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted
with any questions.

the rated temperature is reached, the
alloy melts, the balls are forced to-
ward each other releasing the tension
mechanism, allowing the sprinkler to
operate.
Design
Criteria
The TYCO Series TY-L, 5.6 and 8.0 K-
factor, Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
are intended for fire protection sys-
tems designed in accordance with the
standard installation rules recognized
by the applicable Listing or Approv-
al agency (e.g., UL Listing is based
on the requirements of NFPA 13, and
FM Approval is based on the require-
ments of FM’s Loss Prevention Data
Sheets). Only the Style 20 or 30 Re-
cessed Escutcheon, as applicable,
are to be used for recessed pendent
installations.
Installation
The TYCO Series TY-L, 5.6 and 8.0 K-
factor, Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
must be installed in accordance with
this section:
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
leak tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 10
to 20 ft.-lbs. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm). Higher
levels of torque may distort the sprin-
kler inlet and cause leakage or impair-
ment 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.
Series TY-L Pendent and Upright
Sprinkler Installation
The Series TY-L Pendent and Upright
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with this section.
Step 1. Pendent sprinklers are to be
installed in the pendent position, and
Step 2. With pipe thread sealant ap-
plied 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 7), ex-
cept that an 8 or 10 inch adjustable
Crescent wrench is to be used for
wax coated sprinklers. With reference
to Figures 1, 2, and 3, 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, loos-
en the wrench jaws before removing
the wrench.
After installation, the sprinkler wrench
flats and frame arms must be inspect-
ed and the wax coating retouched
(repaired) whenever the coating 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 in. diameter
steel rod to the areas of wax that have
been damaged, to smooth it back over
areas where bare metal is exposed.
NOTICE
Only retouching of the wax coating
applied 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 in-
staller from being burned.
If attempts to retouch the wax coat-
ing with complete coverage are un-
successful, additional wax can be or-
dered 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 previ-
ously described, touch the rod to the
area requiring additional wax with the
rod angled 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.
Series TY-L Recessed Pendent
Sprinklers Installation
The Series TY-L Recessed Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with this section.
Step A. After installing the Style 20
or 30 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 B. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
10 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.
Figure 8). With reference to Figure
1, 2, or 3, the W-Type 10 Recessed
Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the sprinkler wrenching flanges.
Step C. After the ceiling has been in-
stalled or the finish coat has been ap-
plied, slide on the Style 20 or 30 Clo-
sure over the Series TY-L Sprinkler
and push the Closure over the Mount-
ing Plate until its flange comes in con-
tact with the ceiling.

Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-L, 5.6 and 8.0 K-
factor, Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
must be maintained and serviced in
accordance with this section.
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 damage to the sprinklers -be-
fore, during, and after installation.
Sprinklers 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

corrosion resistant coating. Thereaf-
ter, annual inspections per NFPA 25
should suffice; however, instead of in-
specting from the floor level, a random
sampling of close-up visual inspec-
