For Deluge and Preaction Systems
Wet or Dry Pilot Release Service
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
The TYCO Model FTR-1 Fixed Temper-
ature Release is a fixed temperature,
heat detector intended for wet or dry
pilot release service. It can be used for
pilot-line service, instead of standard
sprinklers, to activate deluge and pre-
action systems equipped with either
wet or dry pilot-line detection.

The Model FTR-1, while resembling
a standard sprinkler in construc-
tion, follows the installation rules for a
listed fixed temperature heat detector
as opposed to the standard rules for
using standard sprinklers as pilot sprin-
klers. The Model FTR-1 features a fast
response thermal element, extended
spacings as compared to using stan-
dard sprinklers as pilot sprinklers, and
a corrosion-resistant assembly option
for outdoor applications, (TEFLON
coated) not available with standard
sprinklers offerings.
The white polyester and green TEFLON
coatings can be used for decora-
tive applications. Both finishes are
UL Listed as corrosion-resistant. The
TEFLON coated Model FTR-1 features
a stainless steel button and compres-
sion screw, making it more desirable
where maximum corrosion resistance
is a consideration.
Corrosion-resistant coatings are uti-
lized to extend the life of copper alloy
construction beyond that which would
otherwise be obtained during exposure
to corrosive atmospheres. Although
the corrosion-resistant coatings have
passed the standard corrosion tests
performed by UL, the testing is not
representative of all possible corrosive
atmospheres. Consequently, it is rec-
ommended that the end user be con-
sulted with respect to the suitability of
these coatings for any given corrosive
environment. The effects of ambient
temperature, concentration of chemi-
cals, and gas/chemical velocity should
be considered, as a minimum, along
with the corrosive nature of the chemi-
cal to which the Model FTR-1 will be
exposed.
As an option, the Model FTR-1 Fixed
Temperature Release may be equipped
the Model G1 Sprinkler Guard
described in Technical Data Sheet
TFP780.
