Operation
When TYCO Series DS-1 Dry-Type
Sprinklers are in service, water is pre-
vented from entering the assembly by
the Plug and Gasketed Spring Plate
Seal (Ref. Figure 1) in the Inlet of the
sprinkler.
The glass bulb contains a fluid that
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter
the glass bulb, and the Bulb Seat is
released.
The compressed Spring is then able
to expand and push the Water Tube as
well as the Guide Tube outward. This
Chrome
action simultaneously pulls inward on
the Yoke, withdrawing the Plug and
Gasketed Spring Plate Seal from the
Inlet allowing the sprinkler to activate
and flow water.
