General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-B and TY-FRB
Poly-Stainless Sprinklers are corrosion
resistant sprinklers designed for use in
commercial occupancies where corro-
sive atmospheres may exist.
The series characteristics are as
follows:
TY-B Series
• 5 mm diameter heat sensitive glass
bulb
• Standard response (SR) rating
Page 1 of 10
TY-FRB Series
• 3 mm diameter heat sensitive glass
bulb
• Quick response (QR) rating
Although corrosion resistant sprinklers
have passed the standard corrosion
tests of the applicable approval agen-
cies, the testing is not representative
of all possible corrosive atmospheres.
Consequently, it is recommended that
the end user be consulted with respect
to the suitability of this coating material
for any given corrosive environment.
The effects of ambient temperature,
concentration of chemicals, and gas/
chemical velocity, should be consid-
ered, at a minimum, along with the cor-
rosive nature of the chemical to which
the sprinklers will be exposed.
Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
The upright and pendent sprinklers are
standard coverage spray sprinklers
available in either 5.6 or 8.0 K-factor.
The recessed version is intended for
use in areas with a finished ceiling.
The two-piece Style 10 (1/2 inch NPT)
or Style 40 (3/4 inch NPT) recessed
escutcheons provide 1/2 inch (12,7
mm) of recessed adjustment or 3/4 inch
(19,1 mm) of total adjustment from the
flush pendent position. The adjustment
provided by the recessed escutcheon
reduces the accuracy to which the fixed
pipe drops to the sprinklers must be
cut.
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
The horizontal sidewall sprinklers are
designed for installation along a wall
or side of a beam and just beneath a
smooth ceiling. Sidewall sprinklers are
commonly used instead of upright and
pendent sprinklers due to aesthetics or
building construction considerations,
where piping across the ceiling is not
desirable.
A recessed version of the horizon-
tal sidewall sprinkler can be achieved
by using the Style 10 recessed
escutcheon.
