General
Description
TYCO Series TY-FRB 5.6K and 8.0K
Quick Response Upright and Pendent
Intermediate Level Sprinklers are auto-
matic sprinklers of the quick response
3 mm frangible bulb type. They are
standard spray sprinklers intended for
use in fire sprinkler 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 require-
ments). Both the pendent and upright
sprinklers produce a hemispherical
water distribution pattern below the
deflector.
Intermediate level sprinklers are pri-
marily designed for use in rack storage
sprinkler systems where their thermally
sensitive elements must be shielded
from the water spray of higher ele-
vation sprinklers that could operate
earlier during a fire. Intermediate level
sprinklers are also used in other appli-
cations such as beneath open gridded
catwalks.
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 atmo-
spheres. Although corrosion-resistant
coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the appli-
cable approval agencies, the testing is
not representative of all possible cor-

regulatory and health information.
Always 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

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.

rosive 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.
