Type IFP
AQUAMIST Recessed Nozzle Fittings
Industrial Fryer Protection
General
Description
The TYCO Type IFP AQUAMIST
Recessed Nozzle Fittings are stain-
less steel fittings which house the
TYCO Type AM10 and Type AM31
AQUAMIST Nozzles. These fittings are
designed to accommodate the Type
AM10 and AM31 nozzles for industrial
fryer primary cooking area applica-
tions. The fitting and nozzle combina-
tion is integrated with a tethered cap
assembly. The cap conceals the nozzle
which separates from the fitting during
system discharge but remains attached
by a length of chain.
It is recommended that the end user
be consulted with respect to the suit-
ability of the materials of construction
for any given corrosive environment.
The effects of ambient temperature,
concentration of chemicals, and gas/
chemical velocity should be consid-
ered, at a minimum, along with the cor-
rosive nature to which the nozzles may
be exposed.
For further details on Type AM10 and
Type AM31 nozzles, refer to Technical
Data Sheets TFP2210 for Type AM10
Nozzle and TFP2202 for Type AM31
Nozzle.
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.

NOTICE
The Type IFP AQUAMIST Recessed
Nozzle Fittings de scribed herein must
be installed and maintained in compli-
ance with this document and with the
applicable standards of the NATIONAL
FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION
(NFPA), in addition to the standards
of any authorities having jurisdiction.
Failure to do so may impair the perfor-
mance of these devices.
The design of individual watermist
systems can vary considerably,
depending on the characteristics and
nature of the hazard and the basic
purpose of the watermist system.
Because of these variations, the design
of watermist systems for fire protec-
tion must only be performed by expe-
rienced designers who thoroughly
understand the limitations as well as
capabilities of such systems.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or nozzle manufacturer with any
questions.
