Institutional Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
Standard Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The Model TFP PH5, 5.6 K-factor, In-
stitutional Horizontal Sidewall Sprin-
klers are standard response - standard
coverage, spray sprinklers designed
for use in areas such as correctional,
detention, and mental health care fa-
cilities.
The unique features of the Model TFP
PH5 provide a tamper resistant sprin-
kler design that helps eliminate the
opportunity for individuals to injure
themselves or others with components
of a fire sprinkler. At the same time, the
Model TFP PH5 optimizes an aes-
thetically appealing flush design that
conceals most of the operating parts.

Operation
In the standby condition, the design of
the Model TFP PH5 is such that a
suspended load of 80 lbs. (36 kg) or
more applied to the linkage mecha-
nism will release the sprinkler. Also,
when properly installed, the escutch-
eon is held fast to the wall to deter its
removal. The shape of the escutcheon
cannot be grasped easily, which fur-
ther deters tampering.
A fusible solder operating element se-
cures the linkage mechanism of the
Model TFP PH5. When the rated tem-
perature is reached, the solder melts
releasing the linkage mechanism that
holds the sprinkler closed. This allows
the deflector to extend outward and
water to flow.
