Pendent Quick Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
TYCO Series DS-8 8.0K Pendent,
Quick Response (3 mm bulb), Standard
Coverage Dry-Type Sprinklers are dec-
orative glass bulb automatic sprinklers
typically used where:
• pendent sprinklers are required
on dry pipe systems that are
exposed to freezing temperatures
(for example, sprinkler drops from
unheated portions of buildings)
• sprinklers and/or a portion of
the connecting piping may be
exposed to freezing tempera-
tures (for example, sprinkler drops
from wet systems into freezers,
sprinkler sprigs from wet systems
into unheated attics, or horizontal
piping extensions through a wall to
protect unheated areas of a building
such as loading docks, overhangs,
and building exteriors)
• sprinklers are used on systems that
are seasonably drained to avoid
freezing (for example, vacation
resort areas)
