Series TY-B – 5.6 K-factor
Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers
Standard Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprin-
klers described in this technical data
sheet are standard response, standard
coverage decorative 5 mm glass bulb
type spray sprinklers designed for use
in light and ordinary hazard, commer-
cial occupancies such as banks, hotels,
and shopping malls.
They are designed for installation along
a wall or the side of a beam and just
beneath a smooth ceiling. Sidewall
sprinklers are commonly used instead
of pendent or upright sprinklers due
to aesthetics or building construction
considerations, where piping across
the ceiling is not desirable.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-B Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler is
intended for use in areas with a fin-
ished wall. It uses a two-piece Style 10
Recessed Escutcheon. The Recessed
Escutcheon provides 1/2 in. (12,7 mm)
of recessed adjustment or up to 3/4 in.
(19,1 mm) of total adjustment from the
flush sidewall position. The adjustment
provided by the Recessed Escutcheon
reduces the accuracy to which the fixed
pipe nipples to the sprinklers must be
cut.
Corrosion-resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the life
of copper alloy sprinklers beyond that
which would otherwise be obtained
IMPORTANT
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.

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-
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 Protec-

dards 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
