Tyco TY-FRFS Series Manual

Model TY-FRFS, TY-FS Special, and TY-FS
57, 80, and 115 K-factor Upright and Pendent
Flat Spray Sprinklers
General
Description
The Model TY-FRFS, TY-FS Special,
and TY-FS, Upright and Pendent, Flat
Spray Sprinklers are intended for instal-
lation in accordance with CEA 4001
Sprinkler Systems Planning and Instal-
lation or EN12845 Automatic Sprin-
kler Systems – Design, Installation
and Maintenance, as applicable. They
produce a flatter spray pattern than
standard spray sprinklers, enabling
them to be used with lower clearance
above the suspended open ceilings
and in racks.
As necessary the K80 and K115, Flat
Spray Sprinklers may be outfitted
with guards, shields, or guards with
shields. The guards may be used in
areas that make the sprinklers suscep-
tible to mechanical or physical damage,
whereas the shields may be used to
help prevent the sprinklers from being
wetted (cold soldered) from water
spray of higher elevation sprinklers.
Table A provides a detailed matrix of
the allowable combinations.
The Model TY-FRFS with its 3 mm
diameter heat sensitive bulb element is
rated quick response, the Model TYFS
Special with its 4 mm diameter heat-
sensitive bulb element is rated special
response, and the Model TY-FS with
its 5 mm diameter heat sensitive bulb
element is rated standard response
"A."

Operation
The glass bulb contains a fluid which
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.
