Installation

The Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor, Hori-
zontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers
must be installed in accordance with
this section.
General Instructions
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler
if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin-
kler held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 in.
(1,6 mm) for the 135°F (57°C) to
3/32 in. (2,4 mm) for the 286°F (141°C)
temperature ratings.
A leak tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of
7 to 14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N·m). Higher
levels of torque may distort the sprin-
kler and cause leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for insuf-
ficient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under-or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.

by this action must be notified.
Absence of an escutcheon, which is
used to cover a clearance hole, may
delay the time to sprinkler operation in
a fire situation.
Sprinklers that are found to be leaking
or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion
must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated or other-
wise altered after leaving the factory.
Modified sprinklers must be replaced.
Sprinklers that have been exposed to
corrosive products of combustion, but
have not operated, should be replaced
if they cannot be completely cleaned
by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or
by brushing it with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid
damage to the sprinklers before,
during, and after installation. Spriklers
