Extended Coverage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
Quick and Standard Response (Light Hazard)
General
Description
TYCO Series TY-FRB 5.6 and 8.0
K-factor Extended Coverage Hori-
zontal Sidewall Sprinklers Quick and
Standard Response (Light Hazard) are
decorative 3 mm glass bulb type spray
sprinklers designed for use in hydrau-
lically calculated sprinkler systems in
light hazard, commercial occupancies
such as churches, restaurant seating
areas, hotels, educational facilities,
offices, etc. With their coverage up
to 16 ft (4,9 m) wide by 24 ft (7,3 m)
long, they are designed for installation
along a wall or the side of a beam and
just beneath a smooth ceiling. Hori-
zontal sidewall (HSW) 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 fast response thermal sensitivity
rating of the Series TY-FRB, 3 mm bulb
type sprinklers provides for a quick
response extended coverage (QREC)
rating for many of the coverage areas
detailed in Tables B and C.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-FRB Extended Coverage Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinkler utilizes either a two-
piece Style 10 (1/2 in. NPT) or Style
40 (3/4 in. NPT) Recessed Escutch-
eon with 1/2 in. (12,7 mm) of recessed
adjustment or up to 3/4 in. (19,1 mm)
of total adjustment from the flush side-

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.

wall position, or a two-piece Style 20
(1/2 in. NPT) or Style 30 (3/4 in. NPT)
Recessed Escutcheon with 1/4 in. (6,4
mm) of recessed adjustment or up to
1/2 in. (12,7 mm) of total adjustment
from the flush sidewall position. The
adjustment provided by the Recessed
Escutcheon reduces the accuracy to
which the fixed pipe lengths 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
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 T Y-FRB
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the National Fire Pro-
tection Association (NFPA), in addition
