Model TFP PH2 — 5.6 K-factor
Institutional Pendent Sprinklers
Standard Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The Model TFP PH2, 5.6 K-factor, In-
stitutional Pendent Sprinklers are
standard response - standard cover-
age, fusible solder type spray sprin-
klers designed for use in areas such as
correctional, detention, and mental
health care facilities.
The unique features of the Model TFP
PH2 provide a tamper resistant sprin-
kler design that helps eliminate the
opportunity for individuals to injure
themselves or others with the compo-
nents of a fire sprinkler. At the same
time, the Model TFP PH2 optimizes an
aesthetically appealing flush design
that conceals most of the operating
parts.

dent Sprinklers described herein must

Operation
In the standby condition, the design of
the Model TFP PH2 is such that a
suspended load of 80 lbs. (36 kg) or
more applied to the linkage mecha-
nism will release the sprinkler. Also,
when properly installed, the escutch-
eon is held fast to the ceiling to deter
its removal. The shape of the escutch-
eon cannot be easily grasped, which
further deters tampering.
A fusible solder operating element se-
cures the linkage mechanism of the
Model TFP PH2. When the rated tem-
perature is reached, the solder melts
releasing the linkage mechanism that
holds the sprinkler closed. This allows
the deflector to extend downward and
water to flow.
