Extended Coverage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
Quick and Standard Response (Light Hazard)
General
Description
TYCO Series TY-FRB 5.6 and 8.0 K-
factor Extended Coverage Horizon-
tal Sidewall Sprinklers Quick and
Standard Response (Light Hazard)
are decorative 3 mm glass bulb type
spray sprinklers designed for use in
hydraulically calculated sprinkler sys-
tems in light hazard, commercial oc-
cupancies such as churches, restau-
rant seating areas, hotels, educational
facilities, offices, etc. With their cover-
age up to 16 ft. (4,9 m) wide by 24 ft.
(7,3 m) long, they are designed for in-
stallation along a wall or the side of a
beam and just beneath a smooth and
level ceiling. Horizontal sidewall (HSW)
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 fast response thermal sensitiv-
ity rating of the Series TY-FRB, 3 mm
bulb type sprinklers provides for a
quick response extended coverage
(QREC) rating for many of the cover-
age areas detailed in Tables B and C.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-FRB Extended Coverage Horizon-
tal Sidewall Sprinkler utilizes either
a two-piece Style 10 (1/2 inch NPT)
or Style 40 (3/4 inch NPT) Recessed
Escutcheon with 1/2 in. (12,7 mm) of
recessed adjustment or up to 3/4 in.
(19,1 mm) of total adjustment from the
flush sidewall position, or a two-piece
Style 20 (1/2 in. NPT) or Style 30 (3/4
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.

in. NPT) Recessed Escutcheon with
1/4 in. (6,4 mm) of recessed adjust-
ment or up to 1/2 in. (12,7 mm) of total
adjustment from the flush sidewall po-
sition. The adjustment provided by
the Recessed Escutcheon reduces
the accuracy to which the fixed pipe
lengths 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-
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.
NOTICE
The Series TY-FRB Sprinklers de-
scribed herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the appli-
cable standards of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), in ad-
dition to the standards of any other
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

dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
