Series TY300-B — 5.6 K-factor
High Pressure Sprinklers, 300 psi (20,7 bar)
Standard Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The Series TY300-B, 5.6 K-factor
Sprinklers described in this data sheet
are standard response, decorative
5 mm glass bulb type spray sprinklers.
Their maximum rated service pressure
of 300 psi (20,7 bar) makes them an
excellent choice for systems that oth-
erwise would require the use of a pres-
sure control valve to reduce the static
pressure to 165 psi (11,4 bar), when
conventional 175 psi (12,1 bar) maxi-
mum rated pressure sprinklers are util-
ized. One of the most common uses for
the TY300-B Sprinklers is in fire pro-
tection systems for high rise buildings.
The recessed version of the Series
TY300-B Sprinklers are intended for
use in areas with a finished mounting
surface (i.e., ceiling or wall, as applica-
ble). They use a two-piece Style 10
Recessed Escutcheon with 1/2 inch
(12,7 mm) of recessed adjustment or
up to 3/4 inch (19,1 mm) of total adjust-
ment from the flush pendent/sidewall
position. The adjustment provided by
the Recessed Escutcheon reduces the
accuracy to which the fixed pipe 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 ob-
tained when exposed to corrosive at-
IMPORTANT
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 in-
stallation 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.

mospheres. Although corrosion resis-
tant coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the appli-
cable approval agencies, the testing is
not representative of all possible cor-
rosive atmospheres. Consequently, it
is recommended that the end user be
consulted with respect to the suitability
of these coatings for any given corro-
sive environment. The effects of ambi-
ent 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.
WARNINGS
The Series TY300-B Sprinklers de-
scribed herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the National Fire Pro-
tection Association, in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may
impair the performance of these de-
vices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted
with any questions.
