Description
The TYCO Series TY-B, 2.8, 5.6, and
8.0 K-factor, Upright and Pendent
Sprinklers described in this data sheet
are standard response - standard
coverage, decorative 5 mm glass bulb
type spray sprinklers designed for use
in light, ordinary, or extra hazard, com-
mercial occupancies such as banks,
hotels, shopping malls, factories,
refineries, and chemical plants.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-B Pendent Sprinkler, where appli-
cable, is intended for use in areas with
a finished ceiling. It uses a two-piece
Style 10 (1/2 inch NPT) or Style 40 (3/4
inch NPT) Recessed Escutcheon. The
Recessed Escutcheon provides 1/2
inch (12,7 mm) of recessed adjustment
or up to 3/4 inch (19,1 mm) of total
adjustment from the flush pendent
position. The adjustment provided by
the Recessed Escutcheon reduces the
accuracy to which the fixed pipe drops
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
corrosive atmospheres. Consequently,
it is recommended that the end user
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cau-

Installation of sprinkler systems and

installation can permanently dam-

nents and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

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.
An intermediate level version of the
Series TY-B Pendent Sprinkler can be
obtained by utilizing the Series TY-B
Pendent Sprinkler in combination with
the Model S2 Shield.
