General
Description
TYCO Series DS-1 5.6K Pendent, Stan-
dard Response (5 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 (e.g., sprin-
kler drops from unheated portions of
buildings)
• sprinklers and/or a portion of the
connecting piping may be exposed
to freezing temperatures (e.g., sprin-
kler drops from wet systems into
freezers, sprinkler sprigs from wet
systems into unheated attics, 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 (e.g., vacation resort areas)

Operation

When TYCO Series DS-1 5.6K Pendent,
Standard Response, Standard Cover-
age Dry-Type Sprinklers are in service,
water is prevented from entering the
assembly by the Plug with Sealing
Assembly (See Figure 1) in the Inlet of
the sprinkler.
The glass bulb contains a fluid that
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter
the glass bulb, and the Bulb Seat is
released.
The compressed Spring is then able
to expand and push the Water Tube as
well as the Guide Tube outward. This
action simultaneously pulls inward on
the Yoke, withdrawing the Plug with
Sealing Assembly from the Inlet, allow-
ing the sprinkler to activate and flow
water.
