Series TY-FRL — 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor
Extended Coverage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
Quick & Standard Response (Light Hazard)
General
Description
The Series TY-FRL, 5.6, and 8.0
K-factor, Extended Coverage Horizon-
tal Sidewall Sprinklers are solder type
spray sprinklers designed for use in
hydraulically calculated sprinkler sys-
tems in light hazard, commercial oc-
cupancies such as churches, restau-
rant seating areas, hotels, educational
facilities, offices, etc. With their cover-
age up to 16 feet (4,9 m) wide by 24
feet (7,3 m) long, they are designed for
installation along a wall or the side of a
beam and just beneath a smooth, flat,
horizontal ceiling. Horizontal sidewall
sprinklers are commonly used instead
of pendent or upright sprinklers due
to aesthetics or building construction
considerations where piping across
the ceiling is not desirable.
The fast response thermal sensitiv-
ity rating of the Series TY-FRL pro-
vides for a quick response extended
cover age (QREC) rating for many of
the coverage areas detailed in Tables
B and C.

Operation
The fusible link (heat collector) assem-
bly is comprised of two halves that
are joined together by a thin layer of
solder. When the rated temperature
is reached, the solder melts and the
two link halves separate, allowing the
sprinkler to operate.
