Tyco TY-B Series Manual

Series TY-B — 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor
Conventional (Old Style) Sprinklers
Standard Response
General
Description
The Series TY-B, 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor,
Conventional Sprinklers described in
this data sheet are standard response
- standard coverage, decorative 5 mm
glass bulb type spray sprinklers. These
sprinklers are intended to be installed
either pendent or upright, and in either
position, they produce a spherical
water discharge pattern with approxi-
mately 50% of the discharge directed
upwards and approximately 50% of the
discharge directed downwards.
Conventional sprinklers are generally
used with Ordinary and Extra High
Hazard Class Systems, as defined by
the automatic sprinkler system instal-
lation rules of the country and author-
ity having jurisdiction. The NATIONAL
FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION
(NFPA) permits the use of "Old Style
Sprinklers" where special construction
features require a unique water distri-
bution; for the protection of fur vaults;
or, the replacement of similar sprinklers
that had been installed prior to 1955.
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-

Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
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
Installation 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.

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.
NOTICE
The Series TY-B Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and main-
tained in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the NATIONAL FIRE PRO-
TECTION ASSOCIATION, in addition to
the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. Failure to do so
may impair the performance of these
devices.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.

Operation

The glass bulb contains a fluid which
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.
