General
Description
The TYCO 16.8 K-factor Model TY7158
Standard Coverage Upright Storage
Sprinkler is an automatic, standard
response, standard coverage sprin-
kler intended for a specific end use
application.
The TYCO Model TY7158 Sprinkler
has been subjected to full-scale fire
testing at UL LLC using test parame-
ters specified by TYCO that are con-
sidered representative of the specific
end use. The fire test performance
results of the large scale testing have
been verified by UL. Details of the tests
performed and results obtained may be
found in UL Test Report ‘Report of a
Special Services Investigation Involving
K16.8 gpm/(psi)½Upright and Pendent
Sprinkler Protection of a Shelf Display
and Rack Storage Arrangement of Car-
toned Group A Plastic’ (Report Number
NC27954).
The specific parameters for commodity
classification limits, allowable storage
arrangement, maximum ceiling and
storage height are based on limits
established by UL tested configura-
tions. The minimum operating pres-
sures are to match those utilized during
UL testing with the number of operating
sprinklers, including a 50% increase in
the number operated during UL testing
but not less than 12 sprinklers for the
standard coverage spacing. The hose
stream allowance with the design for
12 sprinklers is 250 GPM (946,4 LPM).
Sprinkler installation shall otherwise
comply with NFPA 13.
For further details, contact the Techni-
cal Services Department.
