General
Description
The Model TY-FRFS, TY-FS Special,
and TY-FS, Upright and Pendent, Flat
Spray Sprinklers described in this data
sheet are intended for installation in
accordance with CEA 4001 "Sprinkler
Systems Planning and Installation" or
EN12845 "Automatic Sprinkler Sys-
tems - Design, Installation and Mainte-
nance", as applicable. They produce a
flatter spray pattern than standard
spray sprinklers enabling them to be
used with lower clearance above the
suspended open ceilings and in racks.
As necessary the 80K and 115K, Flat
Spray Sprinklers may be outfitted with
guards, shields, or guards with
shields. The guards may be used in
areas that make the sprinklers suscep-
tible to mechanical or physical dam-
age, whereas the shields may be used
to help prevent the sprinklers from be-
ing wetted (cold soldered) from water
spray of higher elevation sprinklers.
Table A provides a detailed matrix of
the allowable combinations.
The Model TY-FRFS with its 3 mm
diameter heat sensitive bulb element
is rated quick response, the Model TY-
FS Special with its 4 mm diameter heat
sensitive bulb element is rated special
response, and the Model TY-FS with
its 5 mm diameter heat sensitive bulb
IMPORTANT
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 in-
stallation can permanently damage
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.
