a finished ceiling. It uses a two-piece
Style 20 (1/2 inch NPT) or Style 30 (3/4

Recessed Escutcheon provides 1/4
inch (6,4 mm) of recessed adjustment
or up to 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of total
adjustment from the flush pendent po-

Recessed Escutcheon reduces the ac-

rosive atmospheres. Consequently, it
is recommended that the end user be
consulted with respect to the suitability

chemicals, and gas/chemical velocity,
should be considered, as a minimum,
along with the corrosive nature of the
chemical to which the sprinklers will be
exposed.
An intermediate level version of the
Series TY-L Pendent Sprinkler can be
obtained by utilizing the Series TY-L
Pendent Sprinkler in combination with
the Model S Shield.
