General
Description
®
The Tyco Series EC-11 and EC-14
Extended Coverage Upright and Pen-
dent Sprinklers are decorative glass
bulb sprinklers designed for use in
light or ordinary hazard occupancies.
They are intended for use in automatic
sprinkler systems designed in accord-
ance with standard installation rules
(e.g., NFPA 13) for a maximum cover-
2
age area of 400 ft (37,2 m
pared to the maximum coverage area
2 2
of 130 ft (12,1 m ) for standard cover-
age sprinklers used in ordinary haz-
2
ard occupancies or 225 ft
for standard coverage sprinklers used
in light hazard occupancies.
The Series EC-11 and EC-14 Sprin-
klers feature a UL and C-UL Listing
that permits their use with unob-
structed or non-combustible ob-
structed ceiling construction as de-
fined and permitted by NFPA 13, as
well as a specific application listing for
use under concrete tees.
The Series EC-11 and EC-14 Ex-
tended Coverage Sprinklers have
been fire tested to compare their per-
formance to that of standard coverage
spray sprinklers. These tests have
shown that the protection provided is
equal to or more effective than stand-
ard coverage spray sprinklers.
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 in-
stallation 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.

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 suitability
of these corrosion resistant coatings
2
), as com-
for any given corrosive environment.
The effects of ambient temperature,
concentration of chemicals, and
gas/chemical velocity, should be con-
2
(20,6 m )
sidered, as a minimum, along with the
corrosive nature of the chemical to
which the sprinklers will be exposed.
The Series EC-11 and EC-14 Ex-
tended Coverage Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and main-
tained in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association, in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may
impair the performance of these de-
vices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted
with any questions.
