1/6

GeneralDescriptionThe Series TY-FRB, 5.6 and 8.0 K-fac-tor Upright and Pendent Intermediate

Level Sprinklers described in this datasheet are automatic sprinklers of thequick response 3 mm frangible bulbtype. They are standard spray sprin-klers intended for use in fire sprinklersystems designed in accordance withthe standard installation rules recog-nized by the applicable Listing or Ap-proval agency (e.g., UL Listing isbased on NFPA requirements). Boththe Pendent and Upright Sprinklersproduce a hemispherical water distri-bution pattern below the deflector.

Intermediate Level Sprinklers are pri-marily designed for use in rack storagesprinkler systems where their ther-mally sensitive elements must beshielded from the water spray of higherelevation sprinklers that could operateearlier during a fire. Intermediate LevelSprinklers are also used in other appli-cations such as beneath open griddedcatwalks.

Corrosion resistant coatings, whereapplicable, are utilized to extend thelife of copper alloy sprinklers beyondthat 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 isnot representative of all possible cor-rosive atmospheres. Consequently, itis recommended that the end user beconsulted with respect to the suitabilityof these coatings for any given corro-

sive environment. The effects of ambi-ent temperature, concentration ofchemicals, and gas/chemical velocity,should be considered, as a minimum,along with the corrosive nature of thechemical to which the sprinklers will beexposed.

WARNINGSThe Series TY-FRB Sprinklers de-scribed herein must be installed andmaintained in compliance with thisdocument, as well as with the applica-ble standards of the National Fire Pro-tection Association, in addition to thestandards of any other authorities hav-ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so mayimpair 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 sprinklermanufacturer should be contactedwith any questions.

Design

CriteriaThe Series TY-FRB Pendent and Up-right Intermediate Level Sprinklers areintended for fire protection systemsdesigned in accordance with thestandard installation rules recognizedby the applicable Listing or Approvalagency (e.g., UL Listing is based onthe requirements of NFPA 13, and FMApproval is based on the requirementsof FMs Loss Prevention Data Sheets).

InstallationThe Series TY-FRB Sprinklers must beinstalled in accordance with the follow-ing instructions:

NOTESDo not install any bulb type sprinkler ifthe bulb is cracked or there is a loss ofliquid from the bulb. With the sprinklerheld horizontally, a small air bubbleshould be present. The diameter of theair bubble is approximately 1/16 inch(1,6 mm) for the 135F/57C to 3/32inch (2,4 mm) for the 286F/141Ctemperature ratings.

A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler jointshould be obtained with a torque of 7to 14 ft.lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). A maxi-mum of 21 ft. lbs. (28,5 Nm) of torquemay be used to install sprinklers with1/2 NPT connections. A leak tight 3/4inch NPT sprinkler joint should be ob-tained with a torque of 10 to 20 ft.lbs.(13,4 to 26,8 Nm). A maximum of 30ft.lbs. (40,7 Nm) of torque is to be usedto install sprinklers with 3/4 NPT con-nections. Higher levels of torque maydistort the sprinkler inlet and causeleakage or impairment of the sprinkler.

Upright Sprinklers The Series TY-FRB Intermediate LevelUpright Sprinklers must be installed inaccordance with the following instruc-tions.

Step 1. With pipe thread sealant ap-plied to the pipe threads, hand tighten

the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.Step 2. Tighten the sprinkler into thesprinkler fitting using only the W-Type6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 3).With reference to Figure 1 or 2, theW-Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench is to beapplied to the wrench flats.

Pendent Sprinklers The Series TY-FRB Intermediate LevelPendent Sprinklers must be installedin accordance with the following in-structions.

Step 1. Thread the S2 Shield onto thesprinkler threads with the stamped

markings toward the deflector and just

specting from the floor level, a randomsampling of close-up visual inspec-tions should be made, so as to betterdetermine the exact sprinkler condi-tion and the long term integrity of thecorrosion resistant coating, as it maybe affected by the corrosive conditionspresent.

The owner is responsible for the in-spection, testing, and maintenance oftheir fire protection system and de-vices in compliance with this docu-ment, as well as with the applicablestandards of the National Fire Protec-tion Association (e.g., NFPA 25), inaddition to the standards of any otherauthorities having jurisdiction. The in-stalling contractor or sprinkler manu-facturer should be contacted relative toany questions.

It is recommended that automaticsprinkler systems be inspected,

tested, and maintained by a qualifiedInspection Service in accordance withlocal requirements and/or nationalcode.
