Series TY-FRB — 5.6 K-factor
Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers
Quick Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor, Hor-
izontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprin-
klers described in this data sheet
are quick response -standard cover-
age, decorative 3 mm glass bulb type
spray sprinklers designed for use in
light and ordinary hazard, commer-
cial occupancies such as banks, ho-
tels, shopping malls, etc. They are de-
signed for installation along a wall or
the side of a beam and just beneath a
smooth ceiling. Sidewall sprinklers are
commonly used instead of pendent or
upright sprinklers due to aesthetics or
building construction considerations,
where piping across the ceiling is not
desirable.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-FRB Horizontal Sidewall Sprin-
kler is intended for use in areas with
a finished wall. It uses a two-piece
Style 10 Recessed Escutcheon with
1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of recessed adjust-
ment or up to 3/4 inch (19,1 mm) of to-
tal adjustment from the flush sidewall
position, or a two-piece Style 20 Re-
cessed Escutcheon with 1/4 inch (6,4
mm) of recessed adjustment or up to
1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of total adjustment
from the flush sidewall position. The
adjustment provided by the Recessed
Escutcheon reduces the accuracy
to which the fixed pipe nipples to the
sprinklers must be cut.
Corrosion resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the
life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond
that which would otherwise be ob-
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cau-
tions with respect to handling
and installation of sprinkler sys-
tems and components. Improp-
er handling and installation can
permanently damage
kler system or its components
and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

tained when exposed to corrosive at-
mospheres. Although corrosion resis-
tant 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, it
is recommended that the end user be
consulted with respect to the suitabil-
ity of these coatings for any given cor-
rosive environment. The effects of am-
bient 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.

scribed herein must be installed and
