Recessed applications use the follow-
ing sprinkler assemblies:
• 5.6K sprinkler, and a two-piece
Style 20 (1/2 in. NPT) Recessed
Escutcheon where applicable, as
shown in Figure 5.
• 8.0K sprinkler, and a two-piece
Style 40 (3/4 in. NPT) Recessed
Escutcheon where applicable, as
shown in Figure 6.
The Style 20 recessed escutcheon
provides 1/4 in. (6,4 mm) of recessed
adjustment, or up to 1/2in. (12,7 mm) of
total adjustment from the flush pendent
position. The Style 40 recessed
escutcheon provides 1/2 in. (12,7 mm)
of recessed adjustment, or up to 3/4 in.
(19,1 mm) of total adjustment from the
flush pendent position.
The adjustment reduces the accuracy
to which the fixed pipe drops to the
sprinklers must be cut.
Flush applications use either of the fol-
lowing sprinkler assemblies:
• 5.6K or 8.0K sprinkler and a Style
65 One-Piece Flush Escutcheon
where applicable.
• 8.0K sprinkler and a Style 60
Two-Piece Flush Escutcheon where
applicable, as shown in Figure 7.
The Style 60 flush escutcheon provides
1/2 in. (12,7 mm) of recessed adjust-
ment, or up to 3/4 in. (19,1 mm) of total
adjustment from the flush pendent
position. The adjustment
accuracy to which the fixed pipe drops
to the sprinklers must be cut.
The sprinkler is stainless steel and is
utilized to extend the life of a sprinkler
beyond that which might be expected
of copper alloy sprinklers exposed
to corrosive atmospheres. Although
corrosion resistant sprinklers have
passed the standard corrosion tests
of the applicable approval agencies,
the 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 stainless steel for
any given corrosive environment. The
effects of ambient temperature, con-
centration of chemicals, and gas/
chemical velocity, should be consid-

ered, as a minimum, along with the cor-

the sprinklers will be exposed.

obtained by utilizing the Series TY-L
reduces the
Pendent Sprinkler in combination with
