General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-L, 5.6 and
8.0 K-factor, Upright, Pendent,
and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
described in this data sheet are stan-
dard response, standard coverage,
solder type spray sprinklers designed
for use in light, ordinary, and extra
hazard, commercial occupancies such
as banks, hotels, shopping malls, fac-
tories, 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 adjustment 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 sprin-
klers must be cut.
Corrosion resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the life
of copper alloy sprinklers beyond that
which would otherwise be obtained
when exposed to corrosive atmo-
spheres. Although corrosion resistant
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 suit-
ability of these coatings for any given
corrosive environment. The effects of
ambient 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 Sprin-
klers 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.

the rated temperature is reached, the
alloy melts, the balls are forced toward
each other releasing the tension mech-
anism, allowing the sprinkler to operate.
Design
Criteria
The TYCO Series TY-L, 5.6 and
8.0 K-factor, Upright, 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
(e.g., UL Listing is based on the require-
ments of NFPA 13, and FM Approval
is based on the requirements of FM’s
Loss Prevention Data Sheets). Only
the Style 20 or 30 Recessed Escutch-
eon, as applicable, are to be used for
recessed pendent installations.
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:
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 sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment 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.
Pendent sprinklers are to be installed
in the pendent position, and upright
sprinklers are to be installed in the
upright position.
Step 1. 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
9 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 7),
except that an 8 or 10 inch adjust-
able Crescent wrench is to be used
for wax coated sprinklers. With refer-
ence 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 damaging the
wax coating. Before wrench tightening
the sprinkler, the jaws of the wrench are
to be adjusted to just contact the sprin-
kler wrench flats. After wrench tight-
ening the sprinkler, loosen the wrench
jaws before removing the wrench.

After installation, the sprinkler
wrench flats and frame arms must
be inspected 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
gently applying a heated 1/8 in. diam-
eter 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 precau-
tions 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
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 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
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
installed or the finish coat has been
applied, slide on the Style 20 or 30
Closure over the Series TY-L Sprin-
kler and push the Closure over the
Mounting Plate until its flange comes
in contact with the ceiling.

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 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. 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. 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.
