General
Description
TYCO Model ESFR-14, 14.0 K-factor,
Pendent Sprinklers (TY6236) are Early
Suppression, Fast Response (ESFR)
sprinklers having a nominal K-factor
of 14.0. They are suppression-mode
sprinklers that are especially advan-
tageous as a means of eliminating the
use of in-rack sprinklers when protect-
ing high-piled storage.
Model ESFR-14 Sprinklers are primarily
designed for protection of the following
storage arrangements:
• most encapsulated or non-encap-
sulated common materials including
cartoned, unexpanded plastics
• some storage arrangements of
rubber tires, roll paper, flammable
liquids
For more specific criteria, refer to Table
A in this technical data sheet as well as
the applicable design standard.

mance of these devices.

Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cautions
with respect to handling and instal-
