General
Description
The TYCO ILLUSION, 11.2 K-factor,
Extra Large Orifice Concealed Pen-

conceal the sprinkler. When limited
water pressure is available and a high-
er applied water density is necessary,
the ILLUSION is the best choice for
architecturally sensitive areas such
as casinos, hotel lobbies, office build-
ings, churches, and restaurants.
Each unit includes a Cover Plate As-
sembly that conceals the sprinkler op-
erating components above the ceiling.
The separable two-piece design of the
Cover Plate and Support Cup Assem-
blies allows installation of the sprin-
klers 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 suspend-
ed ceiling panels for access to build-
ing service equipment without having
to first shut down the fire protection
system and remove sprinklers.
Also, the separable two-piece design
of the Sprinkler provides for 3/4 inch
(19,1 mm) of vertical adjustment to

drops to the sprinklers must be cut.
The ILLUSION Sprinklers are shipped
with a Disposable Protective Cap.

moved for installation, and it can be
replaced to help protect the sprinkler
while the ceiling is being installed or
finished. The tip of the Protective Cap
can also be used to mark the center
of the ceiling hole into plaster board,
ceiling tiles, etc. by gently pushing the
ceiling product against the Protec-
tive Cap. When the ceiling installation
is complete, the Protective Cap is re-
moved and the Cover Plate Assembly
installed.
As an option, the ILLUSION Pendent
Sprinklers may be fitted with a silicone
Air and Dust Seal (Ref. Fig. 4). The Air
and Dust Seal is intended for sensitive
areas where it is desirable to stop air
and dust travel through the cover plate
from the area above the ceiling.
