ing their fire protection system and de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted
with any questions.

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.
Installation
The Series TY-B Sprinklers must be
installed in accordance with the follow-
ing instructions:
Copper
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler if
the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of
liquid from the bulb. With the sprinkler
held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1,6 mm for
the 57°C to 2,4 mm for the 182°C tem-
perature ratings.
A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 9
to 19 Nm. A maximum of 28 Nm of
torque may be used to install sprin-
klers with 1/2 NPT connections. A leak
tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 13
