General
Description
TYCO Series EC-11 and
Extended Coverage Upright
Pendent Sprinklers are decorative
glass-bulb sprinklers designed for
use in light or ordinary hazard occu-
pancies. They are intended for use in
automatic sprinkler systems designed
in accordance with standard installa-
tion rules (e.g., NFPA 13) for a maximum
coverage area of 400 ft (37,2 m
2
compared to the maximum coverage
area of 130 ft (12,1 m ) for standard
2 2
coverage sprinklers used in ordinary
hazard occupancies or 225 ft
for standard coverage sprinklers used
in light hazard occupancies.
Series EC-11 and EC-14 Sprinklers
feature a UL and C-UL Listing that
permits their use with unobstructed
or non-combustible obstructed ceiling
construction as defined and permitted
by NFPA 13, as well as a specific appli-
cation listing for use under concrete
tees.
Series EC-11 and EC-14 Extended
Coverage Sprinklers have been fire
tested to compare their performance to
that of standard coverage spray sprin-
klers. These tests have shown that the
protection provided is equal to or more
effective than standard coverage spray
sprinklers.
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
components. 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.

Corrosion-resistant coatings, where
applicable, help extend the life of
copper alloy sprinklers beyond that
which occurs when exposed to
corrosive atmospheres. Although corro-
EC-14
sion-resistant coated sprinklers passed
and
standard corrosion tests of the appli-
cable approval agencies, this testing
is not representative of all possible
corrosive atmospheres. Consequently,
it is recommended that the end user be
consulted with respect to the suitability
of these corrosion-resistant coatings
for any given corrosive environment.
