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
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.

Operation
The sprinkler assembly contains a
small fusible solder element. When
exposed to sufficient heat from a fire,
the solder melts and enables the inter-
nal components of the sprinkler to fall
away. At this point the sprinkler acti-
vates with the deflector dropping into
its operated position (Ref. Figure 1C),
permitting water to flow.
General
Description
TYCO Model TY-QRF 5.6K Quick
Response, Standard Coverage, Flush
Pendent Sprinklers are decorative,
fusible solder-type sprinklers. They are
designed for use in commercial light
and ordinary hazard occupancies such
as offices and restaurants. When aes-
thetics is the major consideration, the
TY-QRF should be your first choice.
The TY-QRF features a separa-
ble escutcheon providing 3/8 inch
(9,5 mm) vertical adjustment. This
adjustment reduces the accuracy
to which the fixed pipe drops to the
sprinklers must be cut to help assure
a perfect fit installation.
NOTICE
The Model TY-QRF Flush Pendent
Sprinklers described herein must be
installed and maintained in compli-
ance with this document, as well as
with the applicable standards of the
National Fire Protection Associa-
tion, in addition to the standards of
any authorities having jurisdiction.
Failure to do so may impair the perfor-
mance 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.
Design
Criteria
TYCO Model TY-QRF 5.6K Quick
Response, Standard Coverage, Flush
Pendent Sprinklers are intended for
fire protection systems designed in
accordance with the standard instal-
lation rules recognized by the appli-
cable listing or approval agency
(e.g., UL Listing is based on NFPA 13
requirements).
Precautionary Warnings for
Corrosive Environments
The Model TY-QRF Flush Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in a non-
corrosive environment. The improper
use of corrosive agents such as flux,
other products that contain chlo-
ride ions described, whether applied
internally or externally to the sprin-
kler system, may result in corrosion
of the sprinkler head, or stress corro-
sion cracking, which in turn may cause
the sprinklers heads to develop leaks,
operate unexpectedly, or not operate
properly.
Accordingly, it is essential that the
Model TY-QRF Flush Pendent Sprin-
klers be installed only by experienced
fire sprinkler engineers, who comply
fully with NFPA 13 and 25, ASTM B813,
ASTM B828 and Copper Development
Association (CDA).

Copper Sprinkler System Piping
Any time copper piping is used in any
part of a fire sprinkler system, the
copper piping must be installed in con-
formance with all applicable standards
and requirements for copper piping,
including: NFPA 13 and 25, ASTM
B813, ASTM B828, and Copper Devel-
opment Association (CDA). Any solder-
ing in any part of a sprinkler system,
either internally or externally, must be
done with use of only an ASTM B 813
approved flux. Residual flux must be
thoroughly removed from both the inte-
rior and exterior surfaces of the piping
before installing the sprinkler heads.
The use of improper flux, or the failure
to thoroughly remove proper flux, may
result in corrosion of the sprinkler head
or stress cracking, which in turn may
cause the sprinklers heads to develop
leaks, operate unexpectedly, or not
operate properly.
Installation
TYCO Model TY-QRF 5.6K Quick
Response, Standard Coverage, Flush
Pendent Sprinklers must be installed in
accordance with this section.
General Instructions
The Protective Cap is to remain on the
sprinkler during installation until the
ceiling installation is complete. The
Protective Cap must be removed to
place the sprinkler in service.
A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 7
to 14 lbs.-ft. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). Higher
levels of torque may distort the sprin-
kler inlet with consequent leakage or
impairment of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for
insufficient adjustment in an Escutch-
eon Plate by under- or over-tightening
the sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of
the sprinkler fitting to suit.
Each sprinkler must be inspected
before installation. Do not use any
sprinkler that exhibits any deformations
or cracks, including cracks on the pro-
tective cap.
Step 1. The sprinkler must be installed
only in the pendent position and with
the sprinkler waterway centerline per-
pendicular to the mounting surface.
Step 2. Install the sprinkler fitting so
that the distance from the face of the
fitting to the mounting surface will be
nominally 1-3/32 inches (27,8 mm) as
shown in Figure 1A.
Step 3. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the Sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.

Step 4. Wrench-tighten the sprinkler
using only the Sprinkler Socket or
Wrench & Socket Combination (Ref.
Figure 2). The wrench recess of the
Socket is to be applied to the sprinkler
wrenching area (Ref. Figure 1A).
Step 5. Use the Ceiling Level Tolerance
Limit indicator on the Protective Cap
to check for proper installation height.
Relocate the sprinkler fitting as neces-
sary. If desired the Protective Cap may
also be used to locate the center of the
clearance hole by gently pushing the
ceiling material against the center point
of the Cap.
Step 6. After the ceiling has been com-
pleted with the 2 inch (50 mm) diameter
clearance hole, use the Protective Cap
Removal Tool (Ref. Figure 3) to remove
the Protective Cap and then push on
the escutcheon until its flange just
comes in contact with the ceiling. Do
not continue to push the escutcheon
such that it lifts a ceiling panel out of
its normal position. If the escutcheon
cannot be engaged with the sprinkler,
or the escutcheon cannot be engaged
sufficiently to contact the ceiling, relo-
cate the sprinkler fitting as necessary.
Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Model TY-QRF 5.6K Quick
Response, Standard Coverage, Flush
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 Plate may
delay the time to sprinkler operation in
a fire situation.
Sprinklers which 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 before, during, and after instal-
lation. Sprinklers damaged by drop-
ping, striking, wrench twist/slippage,
or the like, must be replaced.
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 Asso-
ciation (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to
the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. Contact the install-
ing 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.
