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-L – 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor
Upright, Pendent, and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
Standard Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-L 5.6 and
8.0 K-factor Upright, Pendent,
and Recessed Pendent Sprin-
klers described herein are stan-
dard response, standard coverage,
solder type spray sprinklers. They are
designed for use in light, ordinary, and
extra-hazard commercial occupan-
cies such as banks, hotels, shopping
malls, factories, reneries, and chemi-
cal plants.
The Series TY-L Recessed Pendent
Sprinkler, where applicable, is
intended for use in areas with a n-
ished ceiling. It uses a two-piece
Style 20 (1/2 in. NPT) or Style 30
(3/4 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 xed pipe drops
to the sprinklers must be cut.
Corrosion-resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the
life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond
what would be obtained when exposed
to corrosive atmospheres. Although
corrosion-resistant coated 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 about
the suitability of these coatings 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.
NFPA 13 prohibits installation of 1/2 in.
NPT sprinklers with K-factors greater
than 5.6 in new construction. They are
intended for retrofit in existing sprinkler
systems only.

Operation
A copper 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.

Installation
The TYCO Series TY-L 5.6 and
8.0 K-factor Upright, Pendent, and
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers must
be installed in accordance with this
section.
General Instructions
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 compensate for
insufcient adjustment in the escutch-
eon plate by under- or over-tightening
the sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of
the sprinkler tting to suit.
Series TY-L Upright and Pendent
Sprinklers Installation
The Series TY-L Pendent and Upright
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions:
Step 1. Install pendent sprinklers in the
pendent position. Install upright sprin-
klers 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
7. For wax coated sprinklers, use an 8
or 10 in. adjustable Crescent wrench.
Apply the W-Type 9 Sprinkler Wrench
to the wrench area as shown in Figures
1, 2, or 3, or as applicable, apply the
adjustable Crescent wrench to the
wrenching anges.
Wax Coated Sprinklers
When installing wax-coated sprinklers
with the adjustable Crescent wrench,
take care to prevent damage to the
wax coating on the sprinkler wrench
ats or frame arms and, consequently,
exposure of bare metal to the corrosive
environment:
• Open the jaws of the wrench suf-
ciently wide to pass over the wrench
flats without damaging the wax
coating.
• Before wrench tightening the sprin-
kler, adjust the jaws of the wrench to
just contact the sprinkler ats.
• After wrench tightening the sprin-
kler, loosen the wrench jaws before
removing the wrench.
Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-L 5.6 and
8.0 K-factor Upright, Pendent, and
Recessed Pendent 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.
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
sufce; however, instead of inspecting
from the oor 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 re 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 qualied Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
After Installation
After installation, complete the
following:
• Inspect the sprinkler wrench ats
and frame arms and retouch (repair)
the wax coating whenever the coat-
ing has been damaged and bare
metal is exposed.
• Retouch the wax coating on the
wrench ats by gently applying a
heated 1/8 in. diameter steel rod to
the damaged areas of the wax, 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 it can begin to melt the wax,
and appropriate precautions need to be
taken when handling the heated rod 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 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
1/2 in. (12,7 mm) away from the area
requiring retouching. The wax will melt
and run down onto the sprinkler.
Series TY-L Recessed Pendent
Sprinklers Installation
The Series TY-L Recessed Pendent
Sprinkler must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions:
Step 1. 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 tting.
Step 2. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler tting using only the W-Type
10 recessed sprinkler wrench as shown
in Figure 8. Apply the wrench to the
sprinkler wrenching anges as shown
in Figures 1, 2, or 3.
Step 3. After the ceiling has been
installed or the nish coat has been
applied, slide on the style 20 or 30
closure over the Series TY-L Recessed
Pendent Sprinkler and push the closure
over the mounting plate until its ange
comes in contact with the ceiling.
