General
Description
TYCO Series DS-C Dry Type Sprinklers,
5.6K Concealed Pendent, Standard
(5 mm Bulb) and Quick Response (3
mm Bulb) and Standard Coverage,
are decorative sprinklers featuring a
flat cover plate designed to conceal
the sprinkler. This type of sprinkler is
typically used to provide a sprinkler
drop from an unheated attic into an
area where aesthetics is a concern,
such as nursing homes, restaurants,
and schools.
Each unit includes a Cover Plate
Assembly that conceals the sprinkler
operating components above the
ceiling. The separable two-piece design
of the Cover Plate and Support Cup
Assemblies allows installation of the
sprinklers and pressure testing of
the fire protection system prior to
installation of a suspended ceiling or
application of the finish coating to a
fixed ceiling. They also permit removal
of suspended ceiling panels for access
to building service equipment without
having to first shut down the fire protec-
tion system and remove sprinklers.
Also, the separable two-piece design of
the Sprinkler provides for 1/2 inch (12,7
mm) of vertical adjustment.
Series DS-C Sprinklers are shipped
with a Disposable Protective Cap.
The Protective Cap is temporarily
removed for installation, and then it
can be replaced to help protect the
sprinkler while the ceiling is installed or
finished. The tip of the Protective Cap
