Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers
Standard Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprin-
klers described in this technical data
sheet are standard response, standard
coverage decorative 5 mm glass bulb
type spray sprinklers designed for use
in light and ordinary hazard, commercial
occupancies such as banks, hotels, and
shopping malls.
They are designed for installation along
a wall or the side of a beam and just
beneath a smooth ceiling. Sidewall
sprinklers are commonly used instead
of pendent or upright sprinklers due to
aesthetics or building construction con-
siderations, where piping across the
ceiling is not desirable.
The recessed version of the Series TY-B
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler is intend-
ed for use in areas with a finished wall.
It uses a two-piece Style 10 Recessed
Escutcheon. The Recessed Escutcheon
provides 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of recessed
adjustment or up to 3/4 inch (19,1 mm)
of total adjustment from the flush side-
wall position. The adjustment provided
by the Recessed Escutcheon reduces
the accuracy to which the fixed pipe
nipples 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
obtained when exposed to corrosive
atmospheres. Although corrosion re-
sistant coated sprinklers have passed
the standard corrosion tests of the ap-

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.

plicable approval agencies, the test-
ing is not representative of all possible
corrosive atmospheres. Consequently,
it is recommended that the end user
be consulted with respect to the suit-
ability of these coatings for any given
corrosive environment. The effects of
ambient 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.
