Description

The TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series
LFII Residential Flat-Plate Concealed
Pendent Sprinklers (TY2524) are decora-
tive, fast response, fusible solder sprin-
klers designed for use in residential oc-
cupancies such as homes, apartments,
dormitories, and hotels.
The Cover Plate/Retainer Assembly con-
ceals the sprinkler operating compo-
nents above the ceiling. The fl at profi le
of the Cover Plate provides the optimum
aesthetically appealing sprinkler design.
Additionally, the concealed design of the
Series LFII Residential Flat-Plate Con-
cealed Pendent Sprinklers provides 1/2
inch (12,8 mm) vertical adjustment. This
adjustment provides a measure of fl ex-
ibility when cutting fi xed sprinkler drops.
The Series LFII Residential Flat-Plate
Concealed Pendent Sprinklers are in-
tended for use in the following systems:
• 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 sprin-
kler systems for residential occu-
pancies up to and including four sto-
ries in height per NFPA 13R
• wet and dry pipe sprinkler systems
for the residential portions of any

WARNING" that provides cautions
with respect to handling and instal-

tial fi res and to improve the chance for
occupants to escape or be evacuated.
The Series LFII Residential Flat-Plate
Concealed Pendent Sprinklers are
shipped with a Disposable Protective
Cap. The Protective Cap protects the
sprinkler during ceiling installation or
fi nish. After ceiling installation is com-
plete, the Protective Cap is removed
and the Cover Plate/Retainer Assem-
bly is installed. Removing the Protec-
tive Cap is required for proper sprinkler
performance.

Dry Pipe System Application

The Series LFII Residential Flat-Plate
Concealed Pendent Sprinkler offers a
laboratory approved option for design-
ing dry pipe residential sprinkler sys-
tems, whereas, most residential sprin-
klers are laboratory approved for wet
systems only.
Through extensive testing and as ref-
erenced in U.S. Patent 7,712,543, it has
been determined that the number of de-
sign sprinklers (hydraulic design area)
for the Series LFII Residential Flat-Plate
Concealed Sprinklers (TY2524) need not
be increased over the number of design
sprinklers (hydraulic design area) speci-
fi ed for wet pipe sprinkler systems, as
is customary for density/area sprinkler
systems designed per NFPA 13, 13D,
or 13R.
Consequently, the Series LFII Residen-
tial Flat-Plate Concealed Sprinklers
(TY2524) offer the features of non-wa-
ter fi lled pipe in addition to not having to
increase the number of design sprinklers
(hydraulic design area) for systems de-
signed to NFPA 13, 13D, or 13R. Non-
water fi lled pipe will permit options for
areas sensitive to freezing.
