The TY-B Recessed Pendent Sprinkler,
where applicable, is intended for use in
areas with a finished ceiling. It uses a
two-piece Style 10 (1/2 in. NPT) or Style
40 (3/4 in. NPT) Recessed Escutcheon.
The Recessed Escutcheon provides
1/2 in. (12,7 mm) of recessed adjust-
ment or up to 3/4 in. (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.
Corrosion-resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend
the life of copper alloy sprinklers
beyond what would be obtained
when exposed to corrosive atmo-
spheres. Although corrosion-resistant
coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the appli-
cable approval agencies, the testing
is not representative of all possible
corrosive atmospheres. Consequently,
it is recommended that the end-user be
consulted about the suitability of these
coatings for any given corrosive envi-
ronment. The effects of ambient tem-
perature, 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.
An intermediate level version of the
Series TY-B Pendent Sprinkler can be
obtained by utilizing the Series TY-B
Pendent Sprinkler in combination with
the Model S2 Shield.
