Conventional (Old Style) Sprinklers
Standard Response
General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-fac-
tor, Conventional Sprinklers (TY365)
described in this data sheet are stan-
dard response -standard coverage,
decorative 5 mm glass bulb type
spray sprinklers. These sprinklers are
intended to be installed either pendent
or upright, and in either position, they
produce a spherical water discharge
pattern with approximately 50% of
the discharge directed upwards and
approximately 50% of the discharge
directed downwards.
Conventional sprinklers are generally
used with Ordinary and Extra High
Hazard Class Systems, as defined by
the automatic sprinkler system installa-
tion rules of the country and authority
having jurisdiction. The NFPA permits
the use of "Old Style Sprinklers" where
special construction features require a
unique water distribution; for the pro-
tection of fur vaults; or, the replace-
ment of similar sprinklers that had been
installed prior to 1955.
NOTICE
The TYCO Series TY-B 5.6 K-factor
Conventional Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and main-
tained in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association, in addition to the stan-
dards of any other authorities having
jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair
the performance of these devices.
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
installation 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.

Operation
The glass bulb contains a fluid which
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.
