Tyco TY-B Series Quick Start Manual

Series TY-B — 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor
Conventional (Old Style) Sprinklers
Standard Response
General
Description
The Series TY-B, 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor,
Conventional Sprinklers described in
this data sheet are standard 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 approxi-
mately 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 instal-
lation 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
protection of fur vaults; or, the replace-
ment of similar sprinklers that had been
installed prior to 1955.
Corrosion resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the
life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond
that which would otherwise 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 with respect to the suit-
ability of these coatings for any given
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cau-
tions with respect to handling and
installation of sprinkler systems and
components. Improper handling and
installation can permanently dam-
age 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.

corrosive environment. The effects of
ambient temperature, 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.
NOTICE
The Series TY-B Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and maintained
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the National Fire Protection Associa-
tion, in addition to the standards of any
other authorities having jurisdiction.
Failure to do so may impair the perfor-
mance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and
devices 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.
