Installation
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-fac-
tor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick
Response must be installed in accor-
dance 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) tempera-
ture 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 sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.
Step 2. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2).
With reference to Figure 1, the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the wrench flats.
