Series TY-FRB — 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor
Extended Coverage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
Quick & Standard Response (Light Hazard)
General
Description
The Series TY-FRB, 5.6,and 8.0 K-fac-
tor, Extended Coverage Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinklers are extended cov-
erage, decorative 3 mm glass bulb
type spray sprinklers designed for use
in hydraulically calculated sprinkler
systems in light hazard, commercial
occupancies such as churches, res-
taurant seating areas, hotels, educa-
tional facilities, offices, etc. With their
coverage up to 16 feet (4,9 m) wide by
24 feet (7,3 m) long, they are designed
for installation along a wall or the side
of a beam and just beneath a smooth
and level ceiling. Horizontal sidewall
sprinklers are commonly used instead
of pendent or upright sprinklers due to
aesthetics or building construction
considerations, where piping across
the ceiling is not desirable.
The fast response thermal sensitivity
rating of the Series TY-FRB, 3 mm
Bulb Type Sprinklers provides for a
quick response extended coverage
(QREC) rating for many of the cover-
age areas detailed in Tables B and C.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-FRB Extended Coverage Horizon-
tal Sidewall Sprinkler utilizes either a
two-piece Style 10 (1/2 inch NPT) or
Style 40 (3/4 inch NPT) Recessed Es-
cutcheon with 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cautions
with respect to handling and instal-
lation of sprinkler systems and com-
ponents. Improper handling and in-
stallation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its compo-
nents and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

recessed adjustment or up to 3/4 inch
(19,1 mm) of total adjustment from the
flush sidewall position, or a two-piece
Style 20 (1/2 inch NPT) or Style 30 (3/4
inch NPT) Recessed Escutcheon with
1/4 inch (6,4 mm) of recessed adjust-
ment or up to 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of
total adjustment from the flush side-
wall position. The adjustment provided
by the Recessed Escutcheon reduces
the accuracy to which the fixed pipe
lengths to the sprinklers must be cut.
Corrosion resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the
life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond
that which would otherwise be ob-
tained when exposed to corrosive at-
mospheres. Although corrosion resis-
tant coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the appli-
cable approval agencies, the testing is
not representative of all possible cor-
rosive atmospheres. Consequently, it
is recommended that the end user be
consulted with respect to the suitability
of these coatings for any given corro-
sive environment. The effects of ambi-
ent temperature, concentration of
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.
WARNINGS
The Series TY-FRB Sprinklers de-
scribed herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the National Fire Pro-
tection Association, in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may
impair the performance of these de-
vices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted
with any questions.
