Tyco TY-QRF-EU Quick Start Manual

Model TY-QRF-EU Flush Pendent Sprinklers
Quick Response, Standard Coverage — 80 K-factor
European Conformity
General
Description
The T YCO Model T Y-QRF-EU,
(TY3260) 80 K-factor, Flush Pendent
Sprinklers described in this data sheet
are quick response - standard cov-
erage decorative fusible solder type
sprinklers. They are designed for use
in commercial light and ordinary hazard
occupancies such as offices and res-
taurants. When aesthetics is the major
consideration, the TY-QRF-EU should
be your first choice.
The TY-QRF-EU features a separable
escutcheon providing 9,5 mm vertical
adjustment. This adjustment reduces
the accuracy to which the fixed pipe
drops to the sprinklers must be cut to
help assure a perfect fit installation.
NOTICE
The Model TY-QRF-EU Flush Pendent
Sprinklers described herein must be
installed and maintained in compli-
ance with this document, as well as
with the applicable standards rec-
ognized by the Approval agency,
in addition to the standards of
any authorities having jurisdiction.
Failure to do so may impair the perfor-
mance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.
IMPORTANT
Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
regulatory and health information.
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cautions
with respect to handling and instal-
lation of sprinkler systems and com-
ponents. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its compo-
nents and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

Operation
The sprinkler assembly contains a
small fusible solder element. When
exposed to sufficient heat from a fire,
the solder melts and enables the inter-
nal components of the sprinkler to fall
away. At this point the sprinkler acti-
vates with the deflector dropping into
its operated position (Reference Figure
1C), permitting water to flow.

Design
Criteria
The T YCO Model T Y-QRF-EU,
(TY3260) 80 K-factor, Flush Pendent
Sprinklers are intended for fire protec-
tion systems designed in accordance
with the standard installation rules
recognized by the applicable Approval
agency (e.g., LPCB Approval is based
on EN 12845 requirements).
Precautions for Corrosive
Environments.
The Model TY-QRF-EU Flush Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in a non-
corrosive environment. The improper
use of corrosive agents such as flux,
other products that contain chlo-
ride ions described, whether applied
internally or externally to the sprin-
kler system, may result in corrosion
of the sprinkler head, or stress corro-
sion cracking, which in turn may cause
the sprinklers heads to develop leaks,
operate unexpectedly, or not operate
properly.
Accordingly, it is essential that the
Model TY-QRF-EU Flush Pendent
Sprinklers be installed only by expe-
rienced fire sprinkler engineers, who
comply fully with EN 12845 or CEA
4001, ASTM B813, ASTM B828 and
Copper Development Association
(CDA).
