Series TY-FRL — 5.6 K-factor
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
Quick Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The Series TY-FRL, 5.6 K-factor, Hori-
zontal Sidewall Sprinklers are quick
response - standard coverage, solder
type spray sprinklers designed for use
in light and ordinary hazard, commer-
cial occupancies such as banks, ho-
tels, shopping malls, offices, etc. They
are designed for installation along a
wall or the side of a beam and just
beneath a smooth ceiling. Horizontal
sidewall sprinklers are commonly used
instead of pendent or upright sprin-
klers due to aesthetics or building con-
struction considerations, where piping
across the ceiling is not desirable.
WARNINGS
The Series TY-FRL Sprinklers de-
scribed herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the National Fire Pro-
tection Association, in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may
impair the performance of these de-
vices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted
with any questions.
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 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.

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.

)
The 5.6 K-Factor, Series TY-FRL Hori-
zontal Sidewall Sprinklers are in-
tended for fire protection systems de-
signed in accordance with the
standard installation rules recognized
by the applicable Listing or Approval
agency (e.g., UL Listing is based on
NFPA 13 requirements); however, the
minimum distance between sprinklers
to prevent cold soldering is 8 feet (2,4
m). The Series TY-FRL
Sidewall Sprinkler must be installed
with a deflector to ceiling distance of 4
to 6 inches (100 to 150 mm). To meet
this requirement the centerline of the
sprinkler waterway must be located 4-
5/16 to 6-5/16 inches (110 to 160 mm)
below the ceiling. Installation of the
Series TY-FRL Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers in recessed escutcheons
will void all manufacturer's warranties,
as well as possibly void the sprinkler's
Approvals and/or Listings.
