IMPORTANT
Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
regulatory and health information.
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cautions
with respect to handling and instal-
lation of sprinkler systems and com-
ponents. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
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.

General
Description
TYCO Series DS-1 Stainless Steel Dry-
Type Sprinklers, 5.6K Pendent, Hori-
zontal Sidewall (HSW), and Extended
Coverage HSW, Standard (5 mm bulb)
and Quick (3 mm bulb) Response are
the first stainless steel dry-type sprin-
klers to be listed by UL and C-UL. With
a K-factor of 5.6, these corrosion-resis-
tant automatic sprinklers can be used
in wet-pipe, dry-pipe, or preaction
systems.
These pendent and horizontal sidewall
sprinklers are available in a variety of
configurations to suit coverage type
and thermal sensitivity. For details, see
Page 1 of 10
the Sprinkler Identification Numbers
(SINs) section.
Series DS-1 Stainless Steel Dry-Type
Sprinklers are typically used in the fol-
lowing applications:
Where corrosive atmospheres exist,
for example, salt-water areas, parking
garages, chemical storage areas,
mechanical rooms, industrial manufac-
turing sites, and software chip washing
facilities
• Dry-pipe systems exposed
freezing temperatures, for example,
sprinkler drops from unheated
portions of buildings
• With pipe connections exposed to
freezing temperatures, for example,
sprinkler drops from wet-pipe
systems into freezers or hori-
zontal piping extensions to protect
unheated areas
• In systems that are
ably drained to avoid freezing, for
example, vacation areas
The stainless steel construction of
these sprinklers extends the life of a
sprinkler beyond that of traditional
copper alloy sprinklers exposed to
corrosive atmospheres. Although
corrosion-resistant sprinklers have
passed the standard corrosion tests of
the applicable approval agencies, the
testing is not representative of all pos-
sible corrosive atmospheres.
Consequently, it is necessary that the
end user be consulted with respect to
the suitability of this alternate material
of construction for any given corrosive
environment. As a minimum, consider
the following criteria:
• Ambient temperature
• Concentration of chemicals
• Humidity
• Gas/chemical velocity
• Corrosive nature of the chemical to
which the sprinklers are exposed
Pendent
The pendent sprinklers are provided
with stainless steel escutcheons that
allow vertical adjustment during instal-
lation. This adjustment provides a
measure of flexibility in determining the

kler drops.
Horizontall Sidewall
The horizontal sidewall sprinklers are
designed for installation along a wall
or side of a soffit and just beneath a
smooth ceiling. Sidewall sprinklers are
commonly used instead of pendent
sprinklers due to aesthetics or build-
ing construction considerations where
piping along the ceiling is not desirable.
NOTICE
The Series DS-1 Stainless Steel Dry-
Type Sprinklers described herein must
be installed and maintained in compli-
ance with this document, as well as
with the applicable standards of the
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSO-
CIATION (NFPA), in addition to the
standards of any authorities having
jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair
the performance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.
The Series DS-1 Stainless Steel Dry-
Type Sprinklers must only be installed
in fittings that meet the requirements of
the Design Criteria section.
