Tyco TY-FRB Series Quick Response

Series TY-FRB – 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor
Conventional (Old Style) Sprinklers
Quick Response
General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 and
8.0 K-factor, Conventional Sprinklers
described in this technical data sheet
are Quick Response, Standard Cover-
age, decorative 3 mm glass bulb type
spray sprinklers. These sprinklers are
intended to be installed either pendent
or upright and, in either position,
produce a spherical water discharge
pattern with approximately 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 author-
ity having jurisdiction. The National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) permits
the use of "Old Style Sprinklers" where
special construction features require a
unique water distribution, for the pro-
tection of fur vaults, or to replace 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 cor-
rosive atmospheres. Consequently,
IMPORTANT
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.

it is recommended that the end user
be consulted with respect to the suit-
ability of these coatings for any given
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 TYCO Series TY-FRB Sprinklers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the NFPA, in addition
to the standards of any other authori-
ties 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.
