Series TY-B and TY-FRB
Poly-Stainless Sprinklers
General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-B and TY-FRB
Poly-Stainless Sprinklers described in
this technical data sheet are corrosion
resistant sprinklers designed for use in
commercial occupancies where corro-
sive atmospheres may exist. The TY-B
with its 5 mm diameter heat sensitive
glass bulb is rated standard response,
whereas the TY-FRB with its 3 mm
diameter heat sensitive glass bulb is
rated quick response.
Although corrosion resistant sprinklers
have passed the standard corrosion
tests of the applicable approval agen-
cies, the testing is not representative
of all possible corrosive atmospheres.
Consequently, it is recommended that
the end user be consulted with respect
to the suitability of this coating material
for any given corrosive environment.
The effects of ambient temperature,
concentration of chemicals, and gas/
chemical velocity, should be consid-
ered, at a minimum, along with the cor-
rosive nature of the chemical to which
the sprinklers will be exposed.
Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
The upright and pendent sprinklers are
standard coverage spray sprinklers
available in either 5.6 or 8.0 K-factor.
The recessed version is intended for
use in areas with a finished ceiling.
The two-piece Style 10 (1/2 inch NPT)
or Style 40 (3/4 inch NPT) Recessed
Escutcheons provide 1/2 inch (12,7
mm) of recessed adjustment or 3/4
inch (19,1 mm) of total adjustment
from the flush pendent position. The
adjustment provided by the Recessed
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.

Escutcheon reduces the accuracy to
which the fixed pipe drops to the sprin-
klers must be cut.
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
The horizontal sidewall sprinklers are
designed for installation along a wall
or side of a beam and just beneath a
smooth ceiling. Sidewall sprinklers are
commonly used instead of upright and
pendent sprinklers due to aesthetics or
building construction considerations,
where piping across the ceiling is not
desirable.
A recessed version of the horizon-
tal sidewall sprinkler can be achieved
by using the Style 10 Recessed
Escutcheon.
