General
Description
The Tyco ® Model TFP PH2, 5.6
K-factor, Institutional Pendent Sprin-
klers are standard response standard
coverage, fusible solder type spray
sprinklers designed for use in areas
such as correctional, detention, and
mental health care facilities.
The unique features of the Model TFP
PH2 provide a tamper resistant sprin-
kler design that helps eliminate the
opportunity for individuals to injure
themselves or others with the compo-
nents of a fire sprinkler. At the same
time, the Model TFP PH2 optimizes an
aesthetically appealing flush design
that conceals most of the operating
parts.

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.

operation
In the standby condition, the design
of the Model TFP PH2 is such that a
dynamic load of 80 lbs. (36 kg) or more
applied to the linkage mechanism will
release the sprinkler. Also, when prop-
erly installed, the escutcheon is held
fast to the ceiling to deter its removal.

)
The shape of the escutcheon cannot
be easily grasped, which further de-
ters tampering.
A fusible solder operating element se-
cures the linkage mechanism of the
Model TFP PH2. When the rated tem-
perature is reached, the solder melts,
releasing the linkage mechanism that
holds the sprinkler closed. This allows
the deflector to extend downward and
water to flow.
