Model BFV-N Butterfly Valve Wafer Style

Page 1 of 4 MARCH 2015 TFP1515


General DescriptionThe TYCO Model BFV-N Wafer Style Butterfly Valves (Ref. Figure 1) are indi-cating type valves designed for use in fire protection systems where a visual indication is required as to whether the valve is open or closed. They are used, for example, as system, sectional, and pump water control valves. They are suitable for installation between ANSI Class 125 or 150 flanges without the need for flange gaskets.

For applications requiring supervision of the open position of the valve, the Gear Operators for the Model BFV-N Butterfly Valves are provided with two sets of factory installed internal switches each having SPDT contacts. The supervisory switches transfer their electrical contacts when there is move-ment from the valve’s normal open posi-tion during the first two revolutions of the handwheel.

NOTICEThe TYCO Model BFV-N Wafer Style Butterfly Valves 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 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 maintaining their fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition. Con-tact the installing contractor or product manufacturer with any questions.

InstallationThe TYCO Model BFV-N Wafer Style Butterfly Valves may be installed with flow in either direction and can be positioned either horizontally or verti-cally. They are designed for installation between the faces of ANSI Class 125 and 150 flanges. The Series BFV-N are self-sealing between mating flanges; therefore, they do not require the use of additional gaskets.

The Model BFV-N may be installed with any pressure class or schedule of pipe or tubing no greater than schedule 40 that is listed or approved for fire protec-tion service and installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

The wafer bodies have locating lugs to ensure proper centering of the valve body when flange bolts are installed. Refer to Figure 1 for bolt diameter. Bolts and studs must meet the minimum strength requirements of ASTM A307 (Grade B), and the nuts must meet the minimum strength requirements of ASTM A563 (Grade A).

Prior to installation, close the valve. Spread the flanges apart to allow the valve to slip easily between the flanges. Make sure the pipe flange faces are clean of any foreign material such as scale, metal shavings, or welding slag. Insert the valve between the flanges (without flange gaskets). Do not apply lubricant to the seat faces as this may

damage the seat material. Be sure to center the valve and do not damage the liner. Relax the separation of the flanges, install, and hand-tighten all flange bolts. Slowly open the valve, checking for free movement of the disc. If valve opens freely, leave the valve in the open position, and using a cross-draw sequence, tighten all flange bolts until the valve is metal-to-metal with both mating flanges. Recommended tightening torques are listed in Table A.

Be certain to keep flange faces as paral-lel as possible during and after tighten-ing bolts or studs. After final tightening, again check the valve for full opening and closing.

As applicable, refer to Figure 2 for the internal switch wiring diagram.

Conduit and electrical connections are to be made in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction and/or the National Electrical Code. With reference to Figure 2, the supervisory switch is intended for connection to the supervi-sory circuit of a fire alarm control panel in accordance with NFPA 72. The auxil-iary switch is intended for the unsuper-vised connection to auxiliary equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electric Code.

NOTE: For outdoor applications with internal supervisory switches, it is rec-ommended that wiring connections be made at a temperature above 15°F (-9°C), in order to insure sufficient flex-ibility of the wire lead insulation.

Stop Adjustment ProcedureThe gear operator’s OPEN and SHUT position have been factory set. The following procedure should be used if slight adjustments are needed. Refer to Figure 3.

Step 1. Turn the Handwheel until the valve is fully closed.

Step 2. Remove the two Lock Screws (A) from the gear operator body.

Step 3. Turn the Shut Stop Screw (B) clockwise until snug.

Step 4. Turn the Handwheel until the valve is fully open.

Step 5. Turn the Open Stop Screw (C) clockwise until snug.

Step 6. Close the valve by turning the Handwheel until the valve is fully in the closed position. Ensure the disc has returned to the fully closed posi-tion and the disc is centered in the seat area. Readjust the Shut Stop Screw if necessary.

Step 7. Replace the two Lock Screws (A) into the gear operator body, locking the stops into position.

Care and MaintenanceThe TYCO Model BFV-N Wafer Style Butterfly Valves must be maintained and serviced in accordance with this section.

Before closing a fire protection system control valve for maintenance or inspec-tion work on either the valve or fire protection system which it controls, per-mission to shut down the affected fire protection systems must be obtained from the proper authorities and all per-sonnel who may be affected by this decision must be notified.

The owner is responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of their fire protection system and devices in accordance with the applicable stan-dards of the National Fire Protection

Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in addi-tion to the standards of any authority having jurisdiction. Contact the install-ing contractor or product manufacturer with any questions. Any impairment must be immediately corrected.

IMPORTANTAlways 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 in-stallation 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.


plicable approval agencies, the test-ing is not representative of all possible corrosive 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.

NOTICEThe Series TY-B 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, in addition to the standards of any oth-er authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair the performance of these devices.

General DescriptionThe TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor, Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprin-klers described in this technical data sheet are standard response, standard coverage decorative 5 mm glass bulb type spray sprinklers designed for use in light and ordinary hazard, commercial occupancies such as banks, hotels, and shopping malls.

They are designed for installation along a wall or the side of a beam and just beneath a smooth ceiling. Sidewall sprinklers are commonly used instead of pendent or upright sprinklers due to aesthetics or building construction con-siderations, where piping across the ceiling is not desirable.

The recessed version of the Series TY-B Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler is intend-ed for use in areas with a finished wall. It uses a two-piece Style 10 Recessed Escutcheon. The Recessed Escutcheon provides 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of recessed adjustment or up to 3/4 inch (19,1 mm) of total adjustment from the flush side-wall position. The adjustment provided by the Recessed Escutcheon reduces the accuracy to which the fixed pipe nipples to the sprinklers 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 atmospheres. Although corrosion re-sistant coated sprinklers have passed the standard corrosion tests of the ap-

TFP161Page 2 of 6

OperationThe glass bulb contains a fluid which expands when exposed to heat. When the rated temperature is reached, the fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to ac-tivate and water to flow.

Design CriteriaThe TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor, Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprin-klers are intended for fire protection systems designed in accordance with the standard installation rules recog-nized by the applicable Listing or Ap-proval agency (for example, UL Listing is based on the requirements of NFPA 13, and FM Approval is based on the requirements of the FM Loss Preven-tion Data Sheets). Only the Style 10 Recessed Escutcheon, as applicable, is to be used for recessed horizontal installations.

InstallationThe TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor, Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprin-klers must be installed in accordance with this section.

General InstructionsDo not install any bulb type sprinkler if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin-kler held horizontally, a small air bubble should be present. The diameter of the air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch (1,6 mm) for the 135°F (57°C) to 3/32 inch (2,4 mm) for the 360°F (182°C) tem-perature ratings.

A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained by applying a min-imum-to-maximum torque of 7 to 14 ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 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.

Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler InstallationThe TYCO Series TY-B Recessed Hori-zontal Sidewall Sprinklers must be in-stalled in accordance with the following instructions.

Install recessed horizontal sidewall sprinklers in the horizontal position with the centerline of waterway perpendicu-lar to the back wall and parallel to the

ceiling. The word “TOP” on the Deflec-tor is to face towards the ceiling.

Step A. After installing the Style 10 Mounting Plate over the sprinkler threads, hand-tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.

Step B. Tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 5). Apply the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprin-kler Wrench to the sprinkler wrench flats (Ref. Figure 1).

Step C. After the ceiling is installed or the finish coat is applied, slide on the Style 10 Closure over the Series TY-B Sprinkler and push the Closure over the Mounting Plate until its flange comes in contact with the ceiling.

Vertical Sidewall Sprinkler InstallationThe Series TY-B Vertical Sidewall Sprin-klers must be installed in accordance with the following instructions.

Install vertical sidewall sprinklers in the pendent or upright position with the ar-row on the Deflector pointing away from the wall.

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 6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 4). For wax-coated sprinklers, use an 8 or 10 inch adjustable Crescent wrench. Apply the W-Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench or the Crescent wrench, as applicable, to the wrench flats (Ref. Figure 2).

sprinkler, loosen the wrench jaws before removing the wrench.

After installation, inspect the sprinkler wrench flats and frame arms and re-touch (repair) the wax coating when-ever the coating has been damaged and bare metal is exposed. Retouch the wax coating on the wrench flats by gently applying a heated 1/8 inch diam-eter steel rod to the damaged areas of wax to smooth it back over areas where bare metal is exposed.

NOTICEOnly retouching of the wax coating ap-plied 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 precautions need to be taken when handling the heated rod in order to prevent the in-staller from being burned.

When installing wax-coated sprinklers with the adjustable Crescent wrench, exercise care to prevent damage to the wax coating on the sprinkler wrench flats or frame arms and, consequent-ly, exposure of bare metal to the cor-

rosive environment. Open the jaws of the wrench sufficiently wide to pass over the wrench flats without damaging the wax coating. Before wrench-tight-ening the sprinkler, adjust the jaws of the wrench to contact only the sprinkler wrench flats. After wrench tightening the

IMPORTANTAlways 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 DescriptionThe TYCO Model EC-25 Extended Coverage (EC) 25.2K Upright Sprin-kler is a UL Listed, standard response, extended coverage Control Mode Density Area (CMDA) sprinkler for storage applications. It is also FM Approved as a quick response, extended coverage Control Mode Density Area (CMDA) sprinkler and as a Control Mode Specific Appli-cation (CMSA) sprinkler, as well as FM Approved for storage and non-stor-age applications.

In addition, these sprinklers may be used in accordance with the new Chapter 21 of the 2013 edition of NFPA 13. As such, tables 21.2.2 and 21.3.2 of NFPA 13 may be utilized for design options. When used in accor-dance with NFPA Chapter 21, smoke vents and draft curtains are not required as specified in the 2015 edition of the International Building Code (IBC) and International Fire Code (IFC) for CMSA sprinklers with an RTI of 50 or less and a design of 12 or fewer sprinklers.

These sprinklers offer a maximum cov-erage area of 196 ft.² (18,2 m²), which is almost double the area offered by standard coverage sprinklers used for similar applications.

The Model EC-25 Upright Sprinklers comply with the criteria for the protec-tion of retail stores as described in the 2013 Edition of NFPA 13, Section 20.3.

Where the FM Approval is utilized, the Model EC-25 Upright Sprinkler has successfully undergone full-scale fire testing at FM Global for ceiling-only storage and non-storage applica-tions. When used in conformance with applicable FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets, the Model EC-25 Sprinkler provides low hydrau-lic demand, the spacing advantages of extended coverage, and the obstruc-tion benefits of an upright sprinkler.

OperationThe fusible link assembly is com-prised of two link halves that are joined together by a thin layer of solder. When the rated temperature is reached, the solder melts and the two link halves separate, allowing the sprinkler to acti-vate and flow water.

Design CriteriaUL and C-UL Listing CriteriaNFPA 13, Chapters 12 thru 20 – Density / Area DesignThe TYCO Model EC-25 Extended Coverage Upright Sprinklers (TY9128) are UL and C-UL Listed for installation in accordance with the extended cov-erage upright spray sprinkler require-ments of NFPA 13 or other applicable NFPA standards when used in conjunc-tion with the following guidelines:

• Suitable for the protection of extra hazard and high-piled storage occupancies where area/density design criteria are provided

• Suitable for unobstructed or noncombustible obstructed construction

• The Model EC-25 Sprinklers having been specifically tested and Listed for noncombustible obstructed construction are suitable for use within trusses or bar joists having noncombustible web members greater than 1 inch (25,4 mm) when applying the 4 times obstruction criteria rule defined under “Obstruc-tions to Sprinkler Discharge Pattern Devel opment.”

• The maximum coverage area per sprinkler is 196 ft.² (18,2 m²).

• The maximum distance between sprinklers is 15 feet (4,6 m) when the coverage area does not exceed 144 ft.² (13,4 m²), and the maximum distance between sprinklers is 14 feet (4,3 m) when the coverage area does not exceed 196 ft² (18,2 m²).

• The minimum distance between sprinklers is 8 feet (2,44 m).

• The minimum flow requirement is based on the design density applied over the actual coverage area per sprinkler.

For example: when sprinkler spacing is 14 ft. x 12 ft. - 6 in. (4,3 m x 3,8 m) or 175 ft² (16,3 m²), and the design density is 0.6 gpm/ft.² (24,4 mm/min), the sprinkler design flow rate is 105 gpm (397 lpm) and the required design pressure is 17.4 psi (1,2 bar).

• The minimum clearance between the deflector and the top of storage is 36 inches (0,9 m). For clearances of 36 inches (0,9 m) up to 48 inches (1,21 m), the minimum design pressure is 22 psi (1,52 bar). For clearances of 48 inches (1,21 m) and greater, the minimum design pressure is estab-lished by the minimum flow require-ment. However, the pressure can never be less than 7 psi (0,5 bar).

• Ordinary and intermediate temper-ature rated Model EC-25 Sprin-klers have been investigated for use in high-piled storage occu-pancies at the hydraulic demand normally associated with high temperature sprinklers. As such, the Model EC-25 Sprinklers are

listed storage sprinklers having a K-factor greater than 11.2 (161,4) and having ordinary and interme-diate temperature ratings (i.e., 165°F or 74°C and 214°F or 101°C). Conse-quently, the Model EC-25 Sprin-klers, in accordance with NFPA 13, may be used in conjunction with the density curves for high temperature sprinklers.

• NFPA obstruction rules for Extended Coverage Sprinklers must be utilized.

System TypeWet pipe, dry pipe, and preaction systems are acceptable.

FM Approval CriteriaFM Loss Prevention Data Sheets 2-0, 3-26, and 8-9TYCO Model EC-25 Extended Cover-age 25.2K Upright Sprinklers (TY9128) are FM Approved to be utilized in accor-dance with the following guidelines.

ApplicationThe Model EC-25 Extended Cov-erage Upright Sprinklers are FM Approved ceiling-level Storage Sprinklers for storage occupancy hazards and other similar high heat release type fires. When compared with other FM Approved Storage Sprinklers, the Model EC-25 Sprinkler provides low hydraulic demand, the spacing advan-tages of extended coverage, and the FM Global obstruction benefits of an upright sprinkler.

InstallationTYCO Model EC-25 Extended Cover-age 25.2K Upright Sprinklers are to be installed in accordance with this section.

Damage to the fusible Link Assembly during installation can be avoided by handling the sprinkler using only the frame arms and the appropriate sprin-kler wrench. Do not grip or apply any force to the fusible Link Assembly. Damaged sprinklers must be replaced immediately.

A leak-tight 1 inch NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained by apply-ing a minimum-to-maximum torque of 20 to 30 lbs.-ft. (26,8 to 40,2 Nm). Higher levels of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet with consequent leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.

Note: Install the Model EC-25 Upright Sprinkler in the upright position.

Step 1. With pipe thread sealant applied, hand-tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Do not apply any force to the Link Assembly, and handle the Model EC-25 Sprinkler only by the Frame arms.

Step 3. Wrench-tighten the Model EC-25 Sprinkler using only the W-Type 1 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2) and by fully engaging (seating) the wrench on the sprinkler wrench flats.

Step 4. After installation, inspect the Link Assembly of each Model EC-25 Sprinkler for damage. In particu-lar, verify that the Link Assembly and Hook are positioned as illustrated in Figure 1, and that the Link Assembly has not been bent, creased, or forced out of its normal position in any way. Damaged sprinklers must be replaced immediately.

Automatic sprinklers must never be painted, plated, coated, or other-wise altered after leaving the factory. Modified sprinklers must be replaced. Sprinklers that have been exposed to corrosive products of combustion, but have not operated, should be replaced if they cannot be completely cleaned by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or by brushing it with a soft bristle brush.

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. Also, replace any sprin-kler that has a cracked bulb or that has lost liquid from its bulb (Ref. Installa-tion section).

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 authorities having jurisdiction. Contact the installing con-tractor or product manufacturer with any questions.



Ordering

InstallationTYCO Model ESFR-25 Early Suppres-sion, Fast Response 25.2K Pendent Sprinklers must be installed in accor-dance with this section.

General InstructionsDamage to the fusible Link Assem-bly during installation can be avoided by handling the sprinkler by the frame arms only (i.e., do not apply pressure to the fusible Link Assembly), and by using the appropriate sprinkler wrench. Failure to do so can lead to an unstable link assembly and premature activation of the sprinkler. Damaged sprinklers must be replaced.

A leak-tight 1 inch NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained by apply-ing a minimum-to-maximum torque of 20 to 30 lbs.-ft. (26,8 to 40,2 Nm). Higher levels of torque can distort the sprinkler inlet with consequent leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.

Note: Install the Model ESFR-25 Pendent Sprinkler in the pendent posi-tion (Ref. Figure 2).

Step 1. With pipe thread sealant applied, hand-tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Do not apply pres-sure to the Link Assembly, and handle the Model ESFR-25 Pendent Sprinkler only by the Frame arms.

Step 2. Wrench-tighten the Model ESFR-25 Pendent Sprinkler using only the W-Type 1 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2) and by fully engaging (seating) the wrench on the sprinkler wrench flats (Ref. Figure 1).

Step 4. After installation, inspect the Link Assembly of each Model ESFR-25 Pendent Sprinkler for damage. In par-ticular, verify that the Link Assembly and Hook are positioned as illustrated in Figure 1, and that the Link Assem-bly is not bent, creased, or forced out of normal position in any way. Replace damaged sprinklers.

Care and MaintenanceTYCO Model ESFR-25 Early Suppres-sion, Fast Response 25.2K Pendent Sprinklers must be maintained and ser-viced in accordance with this section.

Model ESFR-17 16.8 K-factor Upright Sprinkler Early Suppression, Fast Response




General DescriptionTYCO Model ESFR-17 Upright Sprin-klers are Early Suppression, Fast Response (ESFR) sprinklers having a nominal K-factor of 16.8 (Ref. Figure 1). They are suppression mode sprinklers that are especially advantageous as a means of eliminating in-rack sprinklers when protecting high-piled storage.

Model ESFR-17 Sprinklers are primarily used for ceiling-only sprinkler protec-tion of (but not limited to) the following storage applications:


• cartoned, expanded plastics

• some storage arrangements of rubber tires and roll paper

For more specific criteria, refer to Table A in this technical data sheet as well as the applicable design standard.

The Model ESFR-17 Upright Sprin-klers provide the system designer with an upright option to the traditional pendent ESFR Sprinklers. With a K-fac-tor of 16.8, Model ESFR-17 Sprinklers provide system designers with hydrau-lic and sprinkler placement options not presently available to traditional ESFR Sprinklers having a K-factor of 14.0. In particular, the Model ESFR-17 Upright Sprinklers are designed to operate at substantially lower-end head pressures compared to ESFR Sprinklers with 14.0 K-factors. This feature offers flexibility

when sizing system piping and posi-tioning the system piping with respect to the ceiling.

Applications for the TYCO ESFR Sprin-klers are expanding beyond currently recognized installation standards. For information on research fire tests that may be acceptable to an authority having jurisdiction, contact Tyco Fire Protection Products (TFPP) Technical Services.

NOTICEThe Model ESFR-17 Upright Sprinklers described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this doc-ument, as well as with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protec-tion Association (NFPA), in addition to the standards of any authorities having jurisdiction (e.g., FM Global). Failure to do so may impair the performance of these devices.


In all cases, the appropriate NFPA or FM Global installation standard must be referenced to ensure applicabil-ity and to obtain complete installa-tion guidelines. The general guidelines in this data sheet are not intended to provide complete installation criteria.

NOTICEDamage to the fusible Link Assem-bly during installation can be avoided by handling the sprinkler by the frame arms only (i.e., do not apply pressure to the fusible Link Assembly), and by using the appropriate sprinkler wrench. Failure to do so can lead to an unstable link assembly and premature activation of the sprinkler. Damaged sprinklers must be replaced.


Note: Install the Model ESFR-1 Pendent Sprinkler in the pendent posi-tion (Ref. Figure 2).

Step 1. With pipe thread sealant applied, hand-tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Do not apply pres-sure to the Link Assembly, and handle the Model ESFR-1 Sprinkler only by the Frame arms.

Step 2. Wrench-tighten the Model ESFR-1 Sprinkler using only the W-Type 2 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2) and by fully engaging (seating) the wrench on the sprinkler wrench flats (Ref. Figure 1).

Step 3. After installation, inspect the Link Assembly of each Model ESFR-1 Sprinkler for damage. In particu-lar, verify that the Link Assembly and Hook are positioned as illustrated in Figure 1, and that the Link Assembly is not bent, creased, or forced out of normal position in any way. Replace damaged sprinklers.

Model ESFR-17 16.8 K-factor Dry Type Pendent Sprinklers Early Suppression, Fast Response




General DescriptionTYCO Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Pendent Sprinklers are Early Suppres-sion, Fast Response (ESFR) sprinklers having a nominal K-factor of 16.8. They are suppression mode sprinklers that are especially advantageous as a means of eliminating in-rack sprinklers when protecting high-piled box-in-box refrigerated storage areas.

The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Pendent Sprinkler is FM Approved and has successfully undergone full-scale fire testing at FM Global, when used in con-formance with applicable FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets.

The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprin-kler consists of an ESFR sprinkler per-manently secured to a sprinkler drop featuring an inlet with both grooved and threaded connections. The drop between the inlet and sprinkler remains dry until the sprinkler operates, allow-ing for a pendent sprinkler installa-tion on a wet pipe sprinkler system where the dry drop and sprinkler are located in an area subjected to freezing temperatures.

The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprin-klers are primarily used for ceiling only sprinkler protection (i.e., no need for in-rack sprinklers) and used to protect solid piled, palletized, and rack storage that is subject to freezing temperatures. The water supply is provided from a wet pipe system located outside of the refrigerated storage area. The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinklers feature

all of the same design criteria as 16.8 K-factor ESFR Pendent Sprinklers, and substantially lowers the end head pres-sure requirement as compared to the 14.0 K-factor ESFR Dry Type Pendent Sprinklers.

Combining a 16.8 K-factor with a dry-type sprinkler design, the Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler provides the system designer with features that offer flexibility when sizing system piping, as well as possibly reducing or eliminating the need for a system fire pump when protecting high-piled box-in-box refrigerated storage areas.

The ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler also includes two Insulating Seal Assem-blies that help seal the clearance space around the sprinkler casing. The seal assemblies are intended to slow the exchange of air between the heated area and the protected area to help prevent humidity and temperature dif-ferential in the area around the sprin-kler. Condensation on the sprinkler and subsequent ice buildup on or around the sprinkler can occur that might damage the sprinkler or prevent proper operation in a fire situation.

To install the Insulating Seal Assem-blies, follow the installation instruc-tions in this data sheet. The Insulating Seal Assemblies are recommended to be installed on smooth, flat, and clean surfaces. If it is expected that environ-mental conditions may result in exces-sive condensation, additional sealing of the assembly is recommended.

There are specific situations, such as corrugated surfaces where alternate methods to seal the clearance hole are recommended. For additional guid-ance, contact Tyco Fire Protection Products (TFPP) Technical Services.

NOTICEThe Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Pendent Sprinklers (TY7229) described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document, as well as with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Associa-tion (NFPA), in addition to the standards of any authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair the perfor-mance of these devices.

• malleable or ductile iron threaded tee fittings that meet the dimen-sional requirements of ANSI B16.3 (Class 150)

• cast iron threaded tee fittings that meet the dimensional requirements of ANSI B16.4 (Class 125)

Do not install Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler into elbow fittings. The inlet of the sprinkler can contact the interior of the elbow and result in damage to the assembly, resulting in leakage.

The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler can also be installed in the 1-1/4 inch NPT outlet of a GRINNELL Figure 730 Mechanical Tee.Sprinkler Grooved ConnectionThe Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprin-klers can be installed in typical grooved connection scenarios illustrated in Figure 7.

For flexible couplings, use of the 2 inch Figure 705 GRINNELL Flexible Cou-plings with “C” Shape Pre-Lubricated Grade “A” EPDM Gasket (Ref. TFP1820) is recommended.

For rigid couplings, use of the 2 inch, Figure 577 GRINNELL G-FIRE Grooved Rigid Coupling with “C” Shape Pre-Lubricated Grade “A” EPDM Gasket (Ref. TFP1854) is recommended.

When using tees, use of the Figure 219 GRINNELL Grooved Ductile Iron Cast Fittings (Ref. TFP1810) is recommended.

NOTICEDo not install Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler into any other type fitting con-nection without first consulting TFPP Technical Services. Failure to use the appropriate fitting may result in insuf-ficient engagement of the inlet pipe threads with consequent leakage.Exposure LengthWhen using Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinklers to protect areas subject to freezing temperatures, use Figures 2 and 3, and Table D to determine a sprinkler’s appropriate exposed barrel length to prevent water from freezing in the connection pipes due to conduc-tion. The exposed barrel length mea-surement must be taken from the face of the sprinkler fitting to the exterior surface of the structure or insulation that is exposed to the heated area.

Do not attempt to add additional insu-lation around the barrel in the heated area as a method to minimize conden-sation. This will reduce the calculated exposure length.

Clearance SpaceIn accordance with Section 8.4.9.2 of the 2010 edition of NFPA 13, when protecting insulated freezer structures with dry type sprinklers, the clearance hole around the sprinkler barrel of the Dry Type Sprinkler and the clear-ance hole must be sealed. Sealing is accomplished by use of the Insulating Seal Assemblies (Ref. Figure 7). Failure to use the Insulating Seal Assemblies will increase the potential for the for-mation of condensation on the sprin-kler and subsequent ice build-up on or around the sprinkler can occur that might damage the dry type sprinkler and/or prevent proper operation in a fire situation.FM Global 2-0Consult FM Global and/or FM Global guidelines for allowable vertical dis-tance from ceiling to centerline of thermal sensing element.

OperationThe casing between the inlet and the sprinkler remains dry until the sprinkler operates. The fusible link assembly is comprised of two link halves that are joined together by a thin layer of solder. When the rated temperature is reached, the solder melts and the two link halves separate, activating the sprinkler and allowing water to flow through the casing and to the activated sprinkler.


General InstructionsAvoid damage to the fusible Link Assembly during installation by using only the Casing to handle the sprin-kler (i.e., do not apply pressure to the fusible Link Assembly), and by using the appropriate sprinkler wrench. Failure to do so can lead to an unstable link assembly and premature activation of the sprinkler. Damaged sprinklers must be replaced.

Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinklers must only be installed in fittings/con-nections that meet the requirements of the Design Criteria section. Refer to the Design Criteria section for other important requirements regarding piping design, exposure length, and the sealing of the clearance space around the sprinkler casing.

If a sprinkler using a threaded connec-tion (vs. grooved connection) requires replacement, remove the sprinkler using only the W-Type 26 Sprinkler Wrench. Fully engage the wrench on the inlet wrench hex (Ref. Figure 5).

Replace with the new sprinkler follow-ing the installation instructions in this section.

Threaded Connection InstructionsA leak-tight 1-1/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained by applying a minimum-to-maximum torque of 45 to 65 lbs.-ft. (61 to 88 Nm). Higher levels of torque can distort the sprinkler inlet with consequent leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.

Note: Install the Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Pendent Sprinkler in the pendent position (Ref. Figure 5) by carefully raising the pendent sprinkler through the clearance hole. The deflector of the pendent sprinkler is to be parallel to the ceiling.

Step 1. Apply a non-hardening pipe thread sealant such as TEFLON to the male 1-1/4 inch NPT inlet threads.

Step 2. Wrench-tighten the Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler using only the W-Type 26 Sprinkler Wrench and by fully engaging the wrench on the inlet wrench hex (Ref. Figure 5). For refer-ence, the “FRAME ARMS” marking can be used to align the frame arms with the System Pipe as shown in Figure 5.

Step 3. After installation, inspect the Link Assembly of each Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler for damage. In par-ticular, verify that the Link Assembly and Hook are positioned as illustrated in Figure 1, and that the Link Assem-bly is not bent, creased, or forced out of normal position in any way. Replace damaged sprinklers.

Step 4. Install the insulation rings of the Insulating Seal Assemblies by slipping the insulation rings around the sprin-kler casing as shown in Figure 7. Place the inserts over the insulation rings by sliding the inserts around the casing. Place the housings over the Inserts and insulation rings ensuring that the slot on the housings are 180 degrees to the inserts slot. Ensure that the Insulat-ing Seal Assemblies are snug against the refrigerated storage ceiling. Secure the Insulating Seal Assemblies to the ceiling using two self-tapping screws per assembly.

Grooved Connection InstructionsThe following instructions are based on using the 2 inch Figure 705 Grooved Flexible Coupling or the 2 inch Figure 577 Grooved Rigid Coupling.

Step 1. Inspect the exterior groove and the end connection of the mating grooved connection and sprinkler to verify all burrs, loose debris, dirt, chips, paint and other foreign materials such as grease are removed. Sealing sur-faces must be free from sharp edges, projections, indentations, and/or other defects.

Step 2. Verify that the coupling and gasket grade are correct for the appli-cation intended. Refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP1895 for additional gasket information. The sealing edges and the outer surfaces of the gasket should be covered with a fine layer of lubricant. To prevent deterioration of the gasket material, a silicone lubricant should be used to prevent freezing of the lubricant.

Step 3. Install the Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Pendent Sprinkler in the pendent position (Ref. Figures 4 and 7) by care-fully raising the pendent sprinkler through the clearance hole. The deflec-tor of the pendent sprinkler is to be par-allel to the ceiling. Also, ensure that the “FRAME ARMS” markings on the sprin-kler casing are aligned with the System Pipe (Ref. Figure 6).

Step 4. Install the gasket by placing it over the sealing portion of the grooved inlet connection so that the gasket lip does not extend beyond the end of the groove sealing surface. Bring end of the grooved inlet together with end of grooved fitting ensuring vertical and horizontal alignment. Slide the gasket over both sealing surfaces.

Step 5. With one bolt and nut removed, separate the coupling housings and place over the gasket. Verify that the coupling housings are over the gasket and that the coupling housing keys are fully engaged into the grooves.

Step 6. Insert the bolt and nut into the coupling and finger tighten both nuts. Verify that the bolt heads are fully recessed in the housing.

The 2 inch Figure 705 Grooved Flexible Coupling Housing bolt pads must be in metal-to-metal contact. For Flexible Coupling deflection data, refer to Tech-nical Data Sheet TFP1820.

The 2 inch Figure 577 Grooved Rigid Coupling has an intended gap of up to 1/16 of an inch at each pad to allow for positive rigid gripping onto the pipe. The patented tongue and groove design provides protection to the back of the gasket during installation.

Step 7. Alternate between both sides of the coupling when tightening the bolts. Torque bolts to 30 lbs-ft. (41 Nm).

Step 8. Install the insulation rings of the Insulating Seal Assemblies by slipping the insulation rings around the sprin-kler casing as shown in Figure 7. Place the inserts over the insulation rings by sliding the inserts around the casing. Place the housings over the Inserts and insulation rings ensuring that the slot on the housings is 180 degrees to the inserts slot. Ensure that the Insulat-ing Seal Assemblies are snug against the refrigerated storage ceiling. Secure the Insulating Seal Assemblies to the ceiling using two self-tapping screws per assembly.

Before closing a fire protection system main control valve for maintenance work on the fire protection system that it controls, obtain permission to shut down the affected fire protection from the proper authorities and notify all personnel who may be affected by this action.


Automatic sprinklers must never be painted, plated, coated, or otherwise altered after leaving the factory. Modi-fied or overheated sprinklers must be replaced.

A Vent Hole is provided in the Link Assembly Button (Ref. Figure 1) to indi-cate if the Dry Sprinkler is remaining dry. Evidence of leakage from the Vent Hole indicates potential leakage past the Inlet seal and the need to remove the sprinkler to determine the cause of leakage; e.g., an improper installation or an ice plug. Close the fire protec-tion system control valve and drain the system before removing the sprinkler.

When replacing a sprinkler, remove and discard the old Insulating Seal Assem-blies and replace as shown in Figure 7.

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.

RAPID RESPONSE Series LFII Residential 4.9 K-factor Pendent Sprinkler Wet Pipe and Dry Pipe Systems



IMPORTANTAlways 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 components and cause the sprinkler to fail to operate in a fire situation or cause it to operate prematurely.

General DescriptionTYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series LFII Residential 4.9K Pendent and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers (TY2234) are decorative, fast response, frangi-ble bulb sprinklers designed for use in residential occupancies such as homes, apartments, dormitories, and hotels. When aesthetics and optimized flow characteristics are the major con-sideration, the Series LFII Residential Sprinklers (TY2234) should be the first choice.

The Series LFII Residential Sprinklers are intended for use in the following scenarios:

• wet and dry pipe residential sprin-kler systems for one- and two-fam-ily dwellings and mobile homes per NFPA 13D

• wet and dry pipe residential sprinkler systems for residential occupancies up to and including four stories in height per NFPA 13R

• wet and dry pipe sprinkler systems for the residential portions of any occupancy per NFPA 13

The recessed version of the Series LFII Residential Sprinklers is intended for use in areas with finished ceilings. It employs a two-piece Style 20 Recessed Escutcheon. The Recessed Escutcheon provides 1/4 inch (6,4 mm) of recessed adjustment or up to 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of total adjustment from the flush ceiling position. The

adjustment provided by the Recessed Escutcheon reduces the accuracy to which the pipe drops to the sprinklers must be cut.

The Series LFII Residential Sprinklers have been designed with heat sensi-tivity and water distribution charac-teristics proven to help in the control of residential fires and to improve the chance for occupants to escape or be evacuated.

Dry Pipe System ApplicationThe Series LFII Residential Pendent and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers offers a laboratory approved option for designing dry pipe residential sprin-kler systems, whereas, most residential sprinklers are laboratory approved for wet systems only.

Through extensive testing, it has been determined that the number of design sprinklers (hydraulic design area) for the Series LFII Residential Pendent and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers (TY2234) need not be increased over the number of design sprinklers (hydraulic design area) as specified for wet pipe sprinkler systems, as is accustomed for density/area sprinkler systems designed per NFPA 13.

Consequently, the Series LFII Resi-dential Sprinklers offer the features of non-water filled pipe in addition to not having to increase the number of design sprinklers (hydraulic design area) for systems designed to NFPA 13, 13D, or 13R.

NOTICEThe Series LFII Residential Pendent and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers (TY2234) described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document and the applicable standards of the National Fire Protec-tion Association (NFPA), in addition to the standards of any authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair the performance of these devices.

Hydraulic Design (NFPA 13D and 13R)For systems designed to NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R, the minimum re quired sprinkler flow rates are given in Tables A and B as a function of tem-perature rating and the maximum allowable coverage areas. The sprinkler flow rate is the minimum required discharge from each of the total number of “design sprinklers” as specified in NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R. The number of “design sprinklers” specified in NFPA 13D and 13R for wet pipe systems is to be applied when designing dry pipe systems.

Hydraulic Design (NFPA 13)For systems designed to NFPA 13, the number of design sprinklers is to be the four most hydraulically demanding sprinklers. The minimum required dis-charge from each of the four sprinklers is to be the greater of the following:

• The flow rates given in Table A or B as a function of temperature rating and the maximum allowable coverage area .

• A minimum discharge of 0 .1 gpm/ft2 over the “design area” comprised of the four most hydraulically demanding sprinklers for actual coverage areas protected by the four sprinklers .

The number of design sprinklers speci-fied in NFPA 13 for wet pipe systems is to be applied when designing dry pipe systems.

Dry Pipe System Water DeliveryWhen using the Series LFII Residential Sprinklers (TY2234) in dry pipe sprin-kler systems, the time for water deliv-ery must not exceed 15 seconds for the most remote operating sprinkler.

Obstruction to Water DistributionSprinklers are to be located in accor-dance with the obstruction rules of NFPA 13D, 13R, and 13 as applicable for residential sprinklers as well as with the obstruction criteria described within the Technical Data Sheet TFP490.

Operational SensitivitySprinklers are to be installed with a deflector-to-ceiling distance of 1-1/4 to 4 inches.

Sprinkler SpacingThe minimum spacing between sprin-klers is 8 feet (2,4 m). The maximum spacing between sprinklers cannot exceed the length of the coverage area (Table A or B) being hydraulically cal-culated (e.g., maximum 12 feet for a 12 ft. x 12 ft. coverage area, or 20 feet for a 20 ft. x 20 ft. coverage area).

InstallationTYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series LFII Residential 4.9K Pendent and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with this section.

General InstructionsDo not install any bulb type sprinkler if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin-kler held horizontally, a small air bubble should be present. The diameter of the air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch (1,6 mm).

A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained by applying a min-imum-to-maximum torque of 7 to 14 ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). 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. Re-adjust the position of the sprinkler fitting to suit.

Series LFII Residential Pendent SprinklersThe Series LFII Residential Pendent Sprinklers must be installed in accor-dance with the following instructions:

Step 1. Install pendent sprinklers in the pendent position with the deflector par-allel to the ceiling .

Step 2. With pipe thread sealant applied to the pipe threads, hand-tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting .

Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench (Figure 3) . With ref-erence to Figure 1, apply the W-Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench to the wrench flats .

Series LFII Residential Recessed Pendent SprinklersThe Series LFII Residential Recessed Pendent Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with the following instructions:

Step A. Install recessed pendent sprin-klers in the pendent position with the deflector parallel to the ceiling .

Step B. After installing the Style 20 Mounting Plate over the sprinkler threads and with pipe thread sealant applied to the pipe threads, hand-tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting .

Step C. Tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Figure 4) . With reference to Figure 1, apply the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench to the sprinkler wrench flats .

Step D. After the ceiling has been installed or the finish coat has been applied, slide on the Style 20 Closure over the Series LFII Residential Sprin-kler and push the Closure over the Mounting Plate until its flange comes in contact with the ceiling .

Design CriteriaStandard Coverage CriteriaRAVEN Studio 5.6K Pendent and Hori-zontal Sidewall Sprinklers (TY1281 and TY1381) are intended for use in light hazard or ordinary hazard applica-tions as defined by NFPA 13, utilizing the density/area method for hydrauli-cally calculated systems, and with 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).

RAVEN Studio Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers (TY1381) must be installed with a deflector-to-ceiling distance of 4 to 12 inches (100 to 300 mm). To meet this requirement, the centerline of the sprinkler waterway must be located 4-7/16 to 12-7/16 inches (112,7 to 315,9 mm) below the ceiling (Ref. Figures 13 and 15).

Extended Coverage CriteriaRAVEN Studio 5.6K Pendent and Hori-zontal Sidewall Sprinklers (TY1282 and TY1382) must be installed in accor-dance with the flow rate criteria pro-vided in Table A. They must be installed and utilized in light hazard occupancies only under smooth, flat, horizontal ceil-ings as outlined in the applicable instal-lation standard recognized by the listing or approval agency (e.g., UL Listing is based on NFPA 13 requirements).

RAVEN Extended Coverage, Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers (TY1382) must be installed with a deflector-to-ceiling dis-tance of 4 to 12 inches (100 to 300 mm). To meet this requirement, the center-line of the sprinkler waterway must be located 4-7/16 to 12-7/16 inches (112,7

to 315,9 mm) below the ceiling (Ref. Figures 13 and 15).

OperationWater is prevented from flowing from the RAVEN Studio Sprinkler by means of a sealing assembly held in place by operating parts secured by a link assembly. The link assembly is com-prised of two link halves soldered together with an eutectic solder that melts when exposed to heat. When the link reaches its rated temperature, the link halves separate and release the operating parts and sealing assem-bly, allowing the deflector assembly to extend from the body and water to flow from the sprinkler.

Care and MaintenanceTYCO RAVEN Studio Sprinklers 5.6K Pendent and Horizontal Sidewall (HSW) Quick Response, Standard and Extended Coverage must be main-tained 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, obtain permission to shut down the affected fire protection system from the proper authorities and notify all personnel who may be affect-ed by this action.

Service inspections should be made on a regular basis to detect possible damage or alterations to the sprin-kler and escutcheon. Inspections should include making certain that the escutcheon is held fast to the mount-ing surface. Damaged or altered sprin-klers are to be replaced immediately

to avoid personal injury and to prevent use for causing personal injury, as well as to maintain the sprinkler system in an operative condition.


Automatic sprinklers must never be painted, plated, coated, or otherwise altered after leaving the factory. Modi-fied sprinklers must be replaced. Sprin-klers that have been exposed to cor-rosive products of combustion, but have not operated, should be replaced if they cannot be completely cleaned by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or by brushing it with a soft bristle brush.

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 recom-mended to be initially performed for sprinklers installed in potentially corro-sive atmospheres to verify the integrity of the materials of construction as they may be affected by the corrosive con-ditions present for a given installation.

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 approval agency and standards of any other authority having jurisdic-tion. Contact the installing contrac-tor or product manufacturer with any questions.

Sprinklers are recommended to be inspected, tested, and maintained by a qualified Inspection Service in accor-dance with local requirements and/or national codes.

Series TY-FRB – 5.6 K-factor Conventional (Old Style) Sprinklers Quick Response

Page 1 of 4 FEBRUARY 2015 TFP667

IMPORTANTAlways 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 dam-age 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 DescriptionThe TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-fac-tor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick Response described in this technical data sheet are quick response, stan-dard coverage, decorative 3 mm glass bulb type spray sprinklers. These sprin-klers are intended to be installed either pendent or upright, and in either posi-tion, they produce a spherical water discharge pattern with approximately 50% of the discharge directed upwards and approximately 50% of the dis-charge directed downwards.

Conventional sprinklers are gener-ally used with Ordinary and Extra High Hazard Class Systems, as defined by the automatic sprinkler system instal-lation rules of the country and author-ity having jurisdiction. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) permits the use of “Old Style Sprinklers” where special construction features require a unique water distribution; for the pro-tection of fur vaults; or, the replace-ment of similar sprinklers that had been installed prior to 1955.

NOTICEThe Series TY-FRB Sprinklers de-scribed herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this doc-ument, as well as with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protec-tion Association, in addition to the stan-dards of any other authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair the performance of these devices.

OperationThe glass bulb contains a fluid which expands when exposed to heat. When the rated temperature is reached, the fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to activate and water to flow.

Design CriteriaThe TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-fac-tor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick Response are intended for fire protec-tion systems designed in accordance with the standard installation rules rec-ognized by the applicable Listing or Approval agency (e.g., UL Listing is based on NFPA 13 requirements). The Series TY-FRB Conventional Sprinklers are only for non-recessed applications.

TFP667Page 2 of 4

InstallationThe TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-fac-tor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick Response must be installed in accor-dance with this section.

General InstructionsDo not install any bulb type sprinkler if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin-kler held horizontally, a small air bubble should be present. The diameter of the air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch (1,6 mm) for the 135°F (57°C) to 3/32 inch (2,4 mm) for the 286°F (141°C) tem-perature ratings.

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). Higher levels of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet and cause leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.

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 6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2). With reference to Figure 1, the W-Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to the wrench flats.

Care and MaintenanceThe TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-fac-tor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick Response 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, obtain permission to shut down the affected fire protection systems from the proper authorities and notify all personnel who may be affected by this action.

Sprinklers which are found to be leak-ing or exhibiting visible signs of corro-sion must be replaced.


Care must be exercised to avoid dam-age to the sprinklers before, during, and after installation. Sprinklers damaged by dropping, striking, wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must be replaced. Also, replace any sprinkler that has a cracked bulb or that has lost liquid from its bulb. (Refer to Installation Section.)

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.

Construction (Ref. Figure 1)The Inlet Nipple is mild steel, and the Flexible Hose is SS AISI 304. The connection at each end of the Flexible Hose utilizes a brass Slip Nut, NBR/CR o-ring, and Nylon W6 washer. The Sprinkler Reducer is mild steel. The Reducer Bracket, Bar Fixing Clamps, and Support Bar are pressed steel.

General DescriptionThe TYCO FASTFLEX Flexible Sprinkler Hose is a unique sprinkler drop assem-bly comprised of a branchline adapter nipple, stainless steel flexible hose with two slip nuts, sprinkler reducer, and lightweight ceiling bracket com-ponents. (Ref. Figure 1.)

The FASTFLEX Flexible Sprinkler Hose can be installed in false ceilings without cutting and threading pipes associ-ated with installing a drop, armover, and elbows. FASTFLEX makes it pos-sible to test and charge the system with water before the ceiling grid is installed. Once the ceiling grid is in position, the FASTFLEX hoses can be reshaped to suit the final sprinkler location without draining the system.

FASTFLEX Flexible Sprinkler Hose is installed quickly without large and expensive tools. Ideal projects are offices, schools, libraries, hospitals, and shopping complexes. FASTFLEX sprinkler hoses are for use on wet pipe, preaction, and dry pipe systems. The FASTFLEX hose can also be used in conjunction with ultra-low flow water mist nozzles following the design crite-ria outlined in this technical data sheet.

NOTICEThe FASTFLEX flexible sprinkler hoses described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document and with the applicable standards recognized by the Approval agency, in addition to the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction.

TABLE A FASTFLEX SPRINKLER HOSE ASSEMBLY

MODELS, ASSEMBLY LENGTHS, AND APPROVALS

TFP720Page 7 of 8

DO route the FASTFLEX Flexible Hose to permit entire draining either back into the branch-line or through the sprinkler reducer.

DO use the FASTFLEX Inlet Nipple with the direction of flow arrow properly oriented to avoid mismatched threads.

InstallationThe TYCO FASTFLEX Flexible Sprin-kler Hose as shown in Figure 1, must be installed in accordance with this section.

NOTICEFlexible Hoses are intended only to connect sprinklers directly to system piping (Ref. Figure 1). Flexible Hoses cannot be joined together to form longer hoses. Joining Flexible Hoses together creates an assembly with unknown performance that has not been accounted for in system calcula-tions or safe product performance.

Step 1. Review the Design Criteria section that applies to the Approval agency recognized by the authority having jurisdiction, as well as Figure 3 that provides installation guidance.

Step 2. Determine the approximate place where the sprinkler will be located. The Support Bar is 700 mm long and shall be mounted on the 600 mm width of the ceiling grid. The sprinkler should be located as close as possible to the center of the distance between ceiling grid T-bars.

Step 3. Slide the Reducer Bracket onto the Support Bar. Loosely attach the Reducer Bracket and the two Bar Fixing Clamps on the Support Bar and place the Bar Fixing Clamps such that the Support Bar crosses the location where the sprinkler will be located.

Step 4. Attach one end of the Flex-ible Hose onto the sprinkler reducer. Applying the wrench to the Slip Nut, and not to the Flexible Hose, tighten to a maximum torque of 35 Nm.

Step 5. Attach the Inlet Nipple on to the branch line. Ensure that the arrow is in the appropriate direction of flow to the sprinkler and to use pipe thread sealant at the connection to the branch line.

Attach one end of the Flexible Hose on to the Inlet Nipple. Applying the wrench to the Slip Nut, and not to the Flexible Hose, tighten to a maximum torque of 35 Nm. Do not twist the Flexible Hose.

Step 6. Bend the Flexible Hose into a curve(s) that locates the Sprinkler Reducer at the other end of the Flexible Hose in the area where the sprinkler will be located. The tube arc should not be twisted, and the arc should be as large and smooth as possible.

NOTICEFor minimum bend criteria, refer to the Design Criteria section that applies to the Approval agency recognized by the authority having jurisdiction.

A bend radius smaller than pro-vided by the minimum bend criteria may adversely effect the friction loss specifications stated by the approval laboratory.

For assembly lengths greater than 1800 mm the Flexible Hose shall be supported to the structure to ensure that the maximum unsupported length does not exceed 1800 mm. In these cases, it is recommended that the tube be secured to a fixed mounting point every 600 mm, in order to provide a more stable installation.

For installations per LPCB, all bends greater than 45° shall be fitted with a MRI55 Plastic Clip Minimum Radius Indicator (Ref. Figure 4).

Step 7. Insert the Sprinkler Reducer into the Reducer Bracket. Locate the Reducer Bracket and Sprinkler Reducer where the sprinkler will be, and loosely tighten the Butterfly Bolt on the Reducer Bracket.

Step 8. Attach the sprinkler to the Sprinkler Reducer. Put a wrench on the Sprinkler Reducer to counteract the tightening torque and prevent the Flex-ible Hose from twisting. Reference the sprinkler manufacturer’s sprinkler data sheet for appropriate sprinkler tighten-ing torque, sprinkler wrench, and other guidance.

Step 9. Verify that the Sprinkler Reducer is seated in the Reducer Bracket. Precisely locate the sprin-kler in all three axes in accordance with the sprinkler manufacturer’s data sheet. Tighten the Butterfly Bolts on the Bar Fixing Clamps and the Reducer Bracket. The tightening torque for the Bar Fixing Clamp fastener is 4,5 to 5,7 Nm, and the tightening torque for the Reducer Bracket fastener, is a minimum of 2,3 Nm.

Step 10. After tightening all the But-terfly Bolts, verify that the sprinkler is properly located in accordance with the manufacture’s instructions. If not, loosen the Butterfly Bolts and readjust as required.

• Pendent sprinklers with nominal K57, K80, or K115

• Maximum ambient temperature of 107°C

General DescriptionThe TYCO FASTFLEX Model FB Flex-ible Braided Hose is a unique sprinkler drop assembly comprised of a stain-less steel flexible hose a swivel inlet nipple, a sprinkler reducer, and light-weight ceiling bracket components. (Ref. Figure 1.)

The FASTFLEX Model FB Flexible Braided Hose can be installed in false ceilings without cutting and threading pipes associated with installing a drop, arm-over, and elbow. It provides easier maneuverability around ducts and trays in congested spaces and for unusual ceiling types and curved plasterboard ceilings. The FASTFLEX Model FB Flex-ible Braided Hose makes it possible to test and charge the system with water before the ceiling grid is installed. Once the ceiling grid is in position, the hoses can be reshaped to suit the final sprinkler location without draining the system.

The FASTFLEX Model FB Flexible Braided Hose hoses are for use on wet pipe sprinkler systems only.

NOTICEThe TYCO FASTFLEX Model FB Flex-ible Braided Hose described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document and with the applicable standards rec-ognized by the Approval agency, in addition to the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction.

Type MV-R Reverse Action and Type MV-T Tank TopOpen NozzlesMedium Velocity

Page 1 of 6 FEBRUARY 2015 TFP809



General DescriptionThe Tyco Type MV-R Reverse Action and Type MV-T Tank Top Nozzles are open (non-automatic) spray nozzles designed for use in water spray fixed systems for fire protection of vessels or structures containing highly flammable liquids, gases and solids having flash-points of 66˚C (150˚F) and below. They are external deflector-type nozzles that discharge against the direction of the orifice in a uniformly filled spray pattern of medium velocity water droplets over a pre-determined area.

MV-R and MV-T nozzles are effective in covering exposed vertical, horizontal, curved, and irregular shaped surfaces in a cooling spray to prevent excessive absorption of heat from an external fire and possible structural damage or spread of fire to the protected equip-ment. They also promote vapor dilution and dispersion.

The Type MV-R Reverse Action Nozzle, designed specifically to protect spheri-cal vessels and bulk storage tanks, can be installed at any angle and dis-charges a 118˚ reverse angle conical spray pattern (refer to Graph A).

The Type MV-T Tank Top Nozzle, designed specifically to protect tank tops, is installed in only an upright ori-entation and discharges a wide-angle hemispherical spray pattern (refer to Graph B).

Type MV-R and MV-T nozzles having orifice diameters smaller than 9,5 mm (0.37 in.) are factory assembled with

an orifice insert and strainer. Strainers have 3,2 mm (0.13 in.) diameter holes. Nozzles equipped with strainers range in size from MV10 to MV30 (refer to Tables A and B).

It is recommended that the end user be consulted with respect to the suitabil-ity of the materials of construction and finish for any given corrosive environ-ment. The effects of ambient tempera-ture, concentration of chemicals, and gas/chemical velocity, should be con-sidered, at a minimum, along with the corrosive nature to which the Type MV Nozzles may be exposed.

NOTICEThe Tyco Type MV-R and MV-T Nozzles described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this doc-ument and with the applicable stan-dards of the National Fire Protection Association, in addition to the stan-dards of any authorities having juris-diction. Failure to do so may impair the performance of these devices.

The design of individual water spray fixed systems can vary considerably, depending on the characteristics and nature of the hazard, the basic purpose of the spraying system, the configura-tion of the hazard, and wind/draft con-ditions. Because of these variations, as well as the wide range of available nozzle spray characteristics, the design of water spray fixed systems for fire protection must only be performed by experienced designers who thoroughly understand the limitations as well as capabilities of such systems.

The owner is responsible for maintain-ing their fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition. The installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted with any questions.

Design CriteriaNozzle PlacementWhere direct impingement of water spray onto all of the protected surface is required by the authority having juris-diction, Type MV-R and MV-R Nozzles are to be spaced and directed so that their spray patterns will completely cover the protected surface with the minimum required average density.

Both MV-R and MV-T nozzles must be installed at a maximum effective dis-tance of 0,75 m (2.5 ft.) from the pro-tected surface.

Type MV-R nozzles can be oriented at any angle on pipe sprigs (refer to Figure 3).

Type MV-T nozzles must be oriented in the upright position on pipe sprigs (refer to Figure 4).

Spray PatternsSpray patterns for MV-R and MV-T nozzles are shown in Graphs A and B and apply to discharge pressures of 1,4 (20 psi). Though the Maximum Working Pressure is 12,1 bar (175 psi), discharge pressures in excess of 4,1 bar (60 psi)

will result in a decrease in coverage area since the spray patterns tend to draw inwards at higher pressures.

Main Pipeline StrainersMain pipeline strainers per NFPA 15 are required for systems utilizing nozzles with a flow path less than 9,5 mm (0.37 in.) diameter (i.e., MV10 thru MV30, refer to Table A), and for any system where the water is likely to contain obstruc-tive material.

InstallationThe Tyco Type MV-R and MV-T Nozzles must be installed in accordance with this section.

General InstructionsA leak-tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained by applying a mini-mum-to-maximum torque of 9,5 to 19,0 Nm (7 to 14 ft.-lbs.). Higher levels of torque can distort the nozzle Inlet with consequent impairment of the nozzle.

Step 1. With pipe-thread sealant applied to the pipe threads, hand-tighten the nozzle into the nozzle fitting.

Step 2. With reference to Figures 1 and 2, apply an appropriate size adjustable Crescent wrench to the wrenching area and tighten the nozzle into the nozzle fitting.

Care and MaintenanceThe Tyco Type MV-R and MV-T Nozzles 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 con-trols, obtain permission to shut down the affected fire protection system from the proper authorities and notify all per-

sonnel who may be affected by this action.

Type MV-R and MV-T Nozzles must never be painted, plated, coated or altered in any way after leaving the factory; otherwise, the spray perfor-mance may be impaired.

Exercise care to avoid damage to the nozzles, before, during, and after instal-lation. Replace nozzles damaged by dropping, striking, wrench twist/slip-page, or the like.

Frequent visual inspections are rec-ommended to be initially performed for nozzles installed in potentially cor-rosive atmospheres to verify the integ-rity of the materials of construction and finish as they may be affected by the corrosive conditions present for a given installation. Thereafter, annual inspec-tions per NFPA 25 are required.

Water spray fixed systems to fire pro-tection service require regularly sched-uled care and maintenance by trained personnel.

In addition to inspecting nozzles for proper spray performance during water flow trip tests of the system, it is rec-ommended that nozzles be periodically inspected for broken or missing parts, loading/obstructions, or other evidence of impaired protection. The inspec-tions should be scheduled weekly or as frequently as may be necessary, and corrective action must be taken to ensure that the nozzles will perform as intended in the event of a fire.

The owner is responsible for the inspec-tion, 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 authorities having jurisdiction. The installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be con-tacted relative to any questions.

Water spray fixed systems are rec-ommended to be inspected, tested, and maintained by a qualified Inspec-tion Service in accordance with local requirements and/or national codes.
