Tyco ESFR-14 Manual

Model ESFR-14
14.0 K-factor Pendent Sprinklers
Early Suppression, Fast Response
General
Description
TYCO Model ESFR-14, 14.0 K-factor,
Pendent Sprinklers (TY6236) are Early
Suppression, Fast Response (ESFR)
sprinklers having a nominal K-factor
of 14.0. They are suppression-mode
sprinklers that are especially advanta-
geous as a means of eliminating the
use of in-rack sprinklers when pro-
tecting high-piled storage.
Model ESFR-14 Sprinklers are primar-
ily designed for protection of the fol-
lowing storage arrangements:
• most encapsulated or non-encap-
sulated common materials including
cartoned, unexpanded plastics
• some storage arrangements
rubber tires, roll paper, flammable
liquids
For more specific criteria, refer to
Table A in this technical data sheet
as well as the applicable design
standard.
NOTICE
The TYCO Model ESFR-14 Sprinklers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with
this document, as well as with the ap-
plicable standards of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), in ad-
dition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction (e.g., FM
Approvals). Failure to do so may im-
pair the performance of these devices.
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cau-
tions with respect to handling
and installation of sprinkler sys-
tems and components. Improp-
er handling and installation can
permanently damage
