Series TY-FRB — 40, 60, 80 and 115 K-factor Upright ...

1 1 of 10 March, 2007 TFP171_ENGeneral DescriptionThe Series TY-FRB , 40, 60, 80 and 115 K-factor , Upright and Pendent Sprinklers de-scribed in this data sheet are quick response - standard coverage, decorative 3 mm glass bulb type spray sprinklers designed for use in light or ordinary hazard, commercial oc-cupancies such as banks, hotels, shopping malls, etc. The recessed version of the Series TY-FRB Pendent Sprinkler, where applicable, is intended for use in areas with a finished ceiling. It uses either a two-piece Style 10 (1/2 NPT) or Style 40 (3/4 NPT) Recessed Escutcheon with 12,5 mm (1/2 ) of recessed adjustment or up to 19 mm (3/4 ) of total adjustment from the flush pendent posi-tion, or a two-piece Style 20 (1/2 NPT) or Style 30 (3/4 NPT) Recessed Escutcheon with 1/4 (6,4 mm) of recessed adjustment or up to 12,5 mm (1/2 )

2 Of total adjustment from the flush pendent adjust-ment provided by the Recessed Escutcheon reduces the accuracy to which the fixed pipe drops to the sprinklers must be cut. Corrosion resistant coatings, where applica-ble, are utilized to extend the life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond that which would otherwise be obtained when exposed to corrosive atmospheres. Although corrosion resistant coated sprinklers have passed the standard corrosion tests of the applicable approval agencies, the testing is not rep-resentative of all possible corrosive atmos-pheres.

3 Consequently, it is recommended that the end user be consulted with respect to the suitability of these coatings for any given corrosive environment. The effects of ambient 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. Intermediate level versions of the Series TY-FRB Pendent Sprinklers are detailed in Technical Data Sheet TFP356, and Sprinkler Guards are detailed in Technical Data Sheet Series TY-FRB Sprinklers described herein must be installed and maintained in compli-ance with this document, as well as with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association, in addition to the standards of any other authorities having ju-risdiction.
