Tyco EC-25 Quick Start Manual

Model EC-25
Extended Coverage Upright Sprinklers
K-Factor 25.2 (360)
General
Description
TYCO Model EC-25 Extended Cover-
age Upright Sprinklers are UL Listed
standard response, extended cover-
age sprinklers for Storage Protection
(Area/Density) and FM Approved quick
response, extended coverage sprin-
klers for storage and non-storage ap-
plications. Their use is especially ad-
vantageous as a means of decreasing
the number of required sprinklers to
protect occupancies requiring an area/
density application of water.
These sprinklers offer a maximum
coverage area of 196 ft² (18,2 m²),
which is almost double the area of-
fered by standard coverage sprinklers
used for similar applications.
The Model EC-25 Sprinklers comply
with the criteria for the protection of
retail stores as described in the 2010
Edition of NFPA 13, Section 20.3.
Where the FM Approval is utilized, the
Model EC-25 Sprinkler has success-
fully undergone full-scale fire testing at
FM Global for ceiling-only storage ap-
plications. When used in conformance
with applicable FM Global Property
Loss Prevention Data Sheets, the
Model EC-25 Sprinkler provides low
hydraulic demand, the spacing ad-
vantages of extended coverage, and
the obstruction benefits of an upright
sprinkler.
For more information on applications
and benefits of the Model EC-25 Sprin-
kler, refer to the available white papers
at www.tyco-fire.com.
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cautions
with respect to handling
installation of sprinkler systems and
components. Improper
and installation can permanently
damage a sprinkler system or its
components and cause the sprinkler
to fail to operate in a fire situation or
cause it to operate prematurely.
