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 Model TY-QRF-EU,
(TY3260) 80 K-factor, Flush Pendent
Sprinklers described in this data sheet
are quick response - standard cov-
erage decorative fusible solder type
sprinklers. They are designed for use
in commercial light and ordinary hazard
occupancies such as offices and res-
taurants. When aesthetics is the major
consideration, the TY-QRF-EU should
be your first choice.
The TY-QRF-EU features a separable
escutcheon providing 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-EU Flush Pendent
Sprinklers described herein must be
installed and maintained in compli-
ance with this document, as well as
with the applicable standards rec-
ognized by the Approval agency,
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.

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 (Reference Figure
1C), permitting water to flow.
Design
Criteria
The TYCO Model TY-QRF-EU,
(TY3260) 80 K-factor, Flush Pendent
Sprinklers are intended for fire protec-
tion systems designed in accordance
with the standard installation rules
recognized by the applicable Approval
agency (e.g., LPCB Approval is based
on EN 12845 requirements).
Precautions for Corrosive
Environments.
The Model TY-QRF-EU 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-EU Flush Pendent
Sprinklers be installed only by expe-
rienced fire sprinkler engineers, who
comply fully with EN 12845 or CEA
4001, ASTM B813, ASTM B828 and
Copper Development Association
(CDA).

Installation
The TYCO Model TY-QRF-EU,
(TY3260) 80 K-factor, Flush Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance 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 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a min-
imum-to-maximum torque of 7 to 14
lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N·m). Higher levels
of torque can distort the sprinkler 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. Readjust 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 28 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.
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
conformance with all applicable stan-
dards and requirements for copper
piping, including: NFPA 13 and 25,
EN 12845 or CEA 4001, ASTM B813,
ASTM B828, and Copper Develop-
ment 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 B813
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.

Step 4. Wrench tighten the Sprinkler
using only the Sprinkler Socket or
Wrench & Socket Combination (Ref.
Figure 3). 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 50 mm diameter clear-
ance hole, use the Protective Cap
Removal Tool (Ref. Figure 2) 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
The TYCO Model TY-QRF-EU,
(TY3260) 80 K-factor, Flush Pendent
Sprinklers must be maintained and ser-
viced 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 Authorities Having Jurisdiction,
in addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. Contact
the installing contractor or product
manufacturer with any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems should be
inspected, tested, and maintained by a
qualified Inspection Service in accor-
dance with local requirements and/or
national codes.
