General
Description
TYCO Series DS-1 5.6K Pendent,
Upright, and Horizontal Sidewall, Stan-
dard Response (5 mm bulb), Standard
Coverage Dry-type Sprinklers are dec-
orative glass bulb automatic sprinklers
typically used where:
• pendent sprinklers are required on
dry pipe systems that are exposed
to freezing temperatures (e.g., sprin-
kler drops from unheated portions of
buildings)
• sprinklers and/or a portion of the
connecting piping may be exposed
to freezing temperatures (e.g., sprin-
kler drops from wet systems into
freezers, sprinkler sprigs from wet
systems into unheated attics, or hor-
izontal piping extensions through a
wall to protect unheated areas of a
building such as loading docks, over-
hangs, and building exteriors)
• sprinklers are used on systems that
are seasonably drained to avoid
freezing (e.g., vacation resort areas)
