RESIDENTIAL SPRINKLERS
FLUSH PENDENT
Model TFP1, K=4.2, 162°F/72°C
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model TFP1 Residential Flush
Pendent Sprinklers are decorative fus-
ible solder sprinklers designed for use
in residential occupancies such as
homes, apartments, dormitories, and
hotels. When aesthetics is the major
consideration, the Model TFP1 should
be your first choice.
They are to be used in wet pipe resi-
dential sprinkler systems for one- and
two-family dwellings and mobile
homes per NFPA 13D; wet pipe resi-
dential sprinkler systems for residen-
tial occupancies up to and including
four stories in height per NFPA 13R; or,
wet pipe sprinkler systems for the resi-
dential portions of any occupancy per
NFPA 13.
The Model TFP1 has a 4.2 (60,5) K-
factor which provides very low design
flow rates at reduced residual pres-
sures, enabling smaller pipe sizes and
water supply requirements.
The flush design of the Model TFP1
features a separable escutcheon pro-
viding 3/8 inch (9,5 mm) vertical ad-
justment. This adjustment reduces the
accuracy to which the fixed pipe drops
to the sprinklers must be cut to help
assure a perfect fit installation.
The Model TFP1 has been designed
with heat sensitivity and water distribu-
tion characteristics proven to help in
the control of residential fires to im-
prove the chance for occupants to es-
cape or be evacuated. However, resi-
dential fire sprinkler systems are not a
substitute for intelligent fire safety
awareness or fire safety construction
required by building codes.
