Installation
The TYCO Model BFV-N Wafer Style
Butterfly Valves may be installed with
flow in either direction and can be
positioned either horizontally or vertically. They are designed for installation
between the faces of ANSI Class 125
and 150 flanges. The Series BFV-N are
self-sealing between mating flanges;
therefore, they do not require the use
of additional gaskets.
The Model BFV-N may be installed with
any pressure class or schedule of pipe
or tubing no greater than schedule 40
that is listed or approved for fire protection service and installed in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions.

The wafer bodies have locating lugs to


ensure proper centering of the valve
body when flange bolts are installed.
Refer to Figure 1 for bolt diameter. Bolts
and studs must meet the minimum
strength requirements of ASTM A307
(Grade B), and the nuts must meet
the minimum strength requirements of
ASTM A563 (Grade A).
Prior to installation, close the valve.
Spread the flanges apart to allow the
valve to slip easily between the flanges.
Make sure the pipe flange faces are
clean of any foreign material such as
scale, metal shavings, or welding slag.
Insert the valve between the flanges
(without flange gaskets). Do not apply
lubricant to the seat faces as this may

Series TY-B 5.6 K-factor


Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers
Standard Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers described in this technical data
sheet are standard response, standard
coverage decorative 5 mm glass bulb
type spray sprinklers designed for use
in light and ordinary hazard, commercial
occupancies such as banks, hotels, and
shopping malls.
They are designed 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-B
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler is intended for use in areas with a finished wall.
It uses a two-piece Style 10 Recessed
Escutcheon. The Recessed Escutcheon
provides 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of recessed
adjustment or up to 3/4 inch (19,1 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
obtained when exposed to corrosive
atmospheres. Although corrosion resistant coated sprinklers have passed
the standard corrosion tests of the ap-

IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the INSTALLER
WARNING that provides cautions
with respect to handling and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its components and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

plicable approval agencies, the testing is not representative of all possible


corrosive atmospheres. 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.
NOTICE
The Series TY-B Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and maintained
in compliance 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 jurisdiction. Failure
to do so may impair the performance of
these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintaining
their fire protection system and devices
in proper operating condition. Contact

Operation
The glass bulb contains a fluid which
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to activate and water to flow.

Design
Criteria
The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,
Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers are intended for fire protection
systems designed in accordance with
the standard installation rules recognized by the applicable Listing or Approval agency (for example, UL Listing
is based on the requirements of NFPA
13, and FM Approval is based on the
requirements of the FM Loss Prevention Data Sheets). Only the Style 10
Recessed Escutcheon, as applicable,
is to be used for recessed horizontal
installations.

General Instructions
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler
if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the sprinkler held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch
(1,6 mm) for the 135F (57C) to 3/32
inch (2,4 mm) for the 360F (182C) temperature ratings.
A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a minimum-to-maximum torque of 7 to 14
ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). Higher levels
of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for insufficient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler
Installation
The TYCO Series TY-B Recessed Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with the following
instructions.

Care and
Maintenance

Absence of an escutcheon, which is


used to cover a clearance, may delay
the time to sprinkler operation in a fire
situation.

The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor,


Horizontal and Vertical Sidewall Sprinklers must be maintained and serviced
in accordance with this section.

Sprinklers which are found to be leaking


or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion
must be replaced.

Before closing a fire protection system main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system that
it controls, obtain permission to shut
down the affected fire protection system from the proper authorities and notify all personnel who may be affected
by this action.
The owner must assure that the sprinklers are not used for hanging any objects and that the sprinklers are only
cleaned by means of gently dusting with
a feather duster; otherwise, non-operation in the event of a fire or inadvertent
operation may result.

Automatic sprinklers must never be


painted, plated, coated, or otherwise
altered after leaving the factory. Modified sprinklers must be replaced. Sprinklers that have been exposed to corrosive products of combustion, but have
not operated, should be replaced if they
cannot be completely cleaned by wiping
the sprinkler with a cloth or by brushing
it with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the sprinklers before, during, and
after installation. Sprinklers damaged
by dropping, striking, wrench twist/
slippage, or the like, must be replaced.
Also, replace any sprinkler that has a

cracked bulb or that has lost liquid from


its bulb. (Refer to Installation Section.)
The owner is responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of their

MODEL EC-25 UPRIGHT SPRINKLER, 25.2K
EXTENDED COVERAGE

Operation

The maximum coverage area per


sprinkler is 196 ft. (18,2 m).

The fusible link assembly is comprised of two link halves that are joined
together by a thin layer of solder. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
solder melts and the two link halves
separate, allowing the sprinkler to activate and flow water.

The maximum distance between


sprinklers is 15 feet (4,6 m) when
the coverage area does not exceed
144 ft. (13,4 m), and the maximum
distance between sprinklers is 14
feet (4,3 m) when the coverage area
does not exceed 196 ft (18,2 m).

Design
Criteria

The minimum distance between


sprinklers is 8 feet (2,44 m).

UL and C-UL Listing Criteria


NFPA 13, Chapters 12 thru 20
Density / Area Design
The TYCO Model EC-25 Extended
Coverage Upright Sprinklers (TY9128)
are UL and C-UL Listed for installation
in accordance with the extended coverage upright spray sprinkler requirements of NFPA 13 or other applicable
NFPA standards when used in conjunction with the following guidelines:
Suitable for the protection of extra
hazard and high-piled storage
occupancies where area/density
design criteria are provided
Suitable for unobstructed or
noncombustible
obstructed
construction
The Model EC-25 Sprinklers having
been specifically tested and Listed
for noncombustible obstructed
construction are suitable for use
within trusses or bar joists having
noncombustible web members
greater than 1 inch (25,4 mm) when
applying the 4 times obstruction
criteria rule defined under Obstructions to Sprinkler Discharge Pattern
Development.

The minimum flow requirement is


based on the design density applied
over the actual coverage area per
sprinkler.
For example: when sprinkler
spacing is 14
ft. x 12
ft.
-
6
in.
(4,3 m x 3,8 m) or 175 ft (16,3 m),
and the design density is 0.6 gpm/ft.
(24,4 mm/min), the sprinkler design
flow rate is 105 gpm (397 lpm) and
the required design pressure is
17.4 psi (1,2 bar).
The minimum clearance between
the deflector and the top of
storage is 36 inches (0,9 m). For
clearances of 36 inches (0,9 m)
up to 48 inches (1,21 m), the
minimum design pressure is 22 psi
(1,52 bar). For clearances of 48
inches (1,21 m) and greater, the
minimum design pressure is established by the minimum flow requirement. However, the pressure can
never be less than 7 psi (0,5 bar).
Ordinary and intermediate temperature rated Model EC-25 Sprinklers have been investigated for
use in high-piled storage occupancies at the hydraulic demand
normally associated with high
temperature sprinklers. As such,
the Model EC-25 Sprinklers are

listed storage sprinklers having a


K-factor greater than 11.2 (161,4)
and having ordinary and intermediate temperature ratings (i.e., 165F
or 74C and 214F or 101C). Consequently, the Model EC-25 Sprinklers, in accordance with NFPA 13,
may be used in conjunction with the
density curves for high temperature
sprinklers.
NFPA obstruction rules for Extended
Coverage Sprinklers must be utilized.
System Type
Wet pipe, dry pipe, and preaction
systems are acceptable.

Installation
TYCO Model EC-25 Extended Coverage 25.2K Upright Sprinklers are to
be installed in accordance with this
section.
Damage to the fusible Link Assembly
during installation can be avoided by
handling the sprinkler using only the
frame arms and the appropriate sprinkler wrench. Do not grip or apply any
force to the fusible Link Assembly.
Damaged sprinklers must be replaced
immediately.
A leak-tight 1 inch NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained by applying a minimum-to-maximum torque of
20 to 30 lbs.-ft. (26,8 to 40,2 Nm).
Higher levels of torque may distort the
sprinkler inlet with consequent leakage
or impairment of the sprinkler.
Note: Install the Model EC-25 Upright
Sprinkler in the upright position.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied, hand-tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting. Do not apply any
force to the Link Assembly, and handle
the Model EC-25 Sprinkler only by the
Frame arms.
Step 3. Wrench-tighten the Model
EC-25 Sprinkler using only the W-Type
1 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2) and
by fully engaging (seating) the wrench
on the sprinkler wrench flats.
Step 4. After installation, inspect the
Link Assembly of each Model EC-25
Sprinkler for damage. In particular, verify that the Link Assembly and
Hook are positioned as illustrated in
Figure 1, and that the Link Assembly
has not been bent, creased, or forced
out of its normal position in any way.
Damaged sprinklers must be replaced
immediately.

Model ESFR-25
25.2 K-factor Pendent Sprinkler
Early Suppression, Fast Response
General
Description
TYCO Model ESFR-25 Pendent Sprinklers are Early Suppression, Fast
Response (ESFR) sprinklers having a
nominal K-factor of 25.2 (Ref. Figure 1).
They are suppression-mode sprinklers
that are especially advantageous as a
means of eliminating the use of in-rack
sprinklers when protecting high-piled
storage.
The Model ESFR-25 Sprinklers are primarily used for ceiling-only sprinkler
protection of (but not limited to) the following storage applications:
most encapsulated or non-encapsulated common materials including
cartoned, unexpanded plastics
uncartoned (exposed) expanded
plastics in accordance with NFPA 13
and FM Global standards
some storage arrangements of rubber tires, roll paper, flammable liquids, aerosols, and automotive
components
For more specific criteria, refer to
Table A as well as the applicable design
standard.
The Model ESFR-25 Pendent Sprinklers provide the system designer
with hydraulic and sprinkler placement options not presently available to
the traditional ESFR sprinklers having
nominal K-factors of 14.0 and 16.8. In
particular, the Model ESFR-25 Sprinkler has been designed to operate at
substantially lower-end head pres-

IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the INSTALLER
WARNING that provides cautions
with respect to handling and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its components and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

sures, as compared to ESFR Sprinklers


having nominal K-factors of 14.0 and
16.8. This feature offers flexibility when
sizing system piping, as well as possibly reducing or eliminating the need for
a system fire pump.
Also, Model ESFR-25 Sprinklers
permit use of a maximum deflector-to-ceiling distance of 18 inches
(460 mm) versus 14 inches (356 mm).
Additionally, a storage arrangement of
40 ft. (12,2 m) with a ceiling height of
45 ft. (13,7 m) does not require in-rack
sprinklers as do other ESFR Sprinklers having nominal K-factors of
14.0 and 16.8.
The Model ESFR-25 Sprinklers are
listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for specific applications
with a maximum storage height of
43 ft. (13,1 m) with a maximum ceiling
height of 48 ft. (14,6 m) without the
requirement for in-rack sprinklers.
Refer to the Specific Application Listing
(UL) for the design criteria.
Applications for the TYCO ESFR Sprinklers are expanding beyond currently
recognized installation standards. For
information on research fire tests (e.g.,
with flammable liquids and aerosols)
that may be acceptable to an authority having jurisdiction, contact Tyco Fire
Protection Products (TFPP) Technical
Services.
NOTICE
The Model ESFR-25 Sprinklers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in addition
to the standards of any authorities
having jurisdiction (e.g., FM Global).
Failure to do so may impair the performance of these devices.

In all cases, the appropriate NFPA or


FM Global installation standard, or
other applicable standard, must be
referenced to ensure applicability and
to obtain complete installation guidelines. The general guidelines in this

solder melts and the two link halves
separate, activating the sprinkler and
flowing water.

TFP312
Page 4 of 4

Installation
TYCO Model ESFR-25 Early Suppression, Fast Response 25.2K Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with this section.
General Instructions
Damage to the fusible Link Assembly during installation can be avoided
by handling the sprinkler by the frame
arms only (i.e., do not apply pressure
to the fusible Link Assembly), and by
using the appropriate sprinkler wrench.
Failure to do so can lead to an unstable
link assembly and premature activation
of the sprinkler. Damaged sprinklers
must be replaced.
A leak-tight 1 inch NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained by applying a minimum-to-maximum torque of
20 to 30 lbs.-ft. (26,8 to 40,2 Nm).
Higher levels of torque can distort the
sprinkler inlet with consequent leakage
or impairment of the sprinkler.
Note: Install the Model ESFR-25
Pendent Sprinkler in the pendent position (Ref. Figure 2).
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied, hand-tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting. Do not apply pressure to the Link Assembly, and handle
the Model ESFR-25 Pendent Sprinkler
only by the Frame arms.
Step 2. Wrench-tighten the Model
ESFR-25 Pendent Sprinkler using only
the W-Type 1 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.
Figure 2) and by fully engaging (seating)
the wrench on the sprinkler wrench
flats (Ref. Figure 1).
Step 4. After installation, inspect the
Link Assembly of each Model ESFR-25
Pendent Sprinkler for damage. In particular, verify that the Link Assembly
and Hook are positioned as illustrated
in Figure 1, and that the Link Assembly is not bent, creased, or forced out
of normal position in any way. Replace
damaged sprinklers.

Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Model ESFR-25 Early Suppression, Fast Response 25.2K Pendent
Sprinklers must be maintained and serviced in accordance with this section.

main control valve for maintenance


work on the fire protection system that
it controls, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection system must be
obtained from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.

Sprinklers which are found to be


leaking or exhibiting visible signs of
corrosion must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated, or otherwise altered after leaving the factory.
Modified sprinklers must be replaced.
Sprinklers that have been exposed to
corrosive products of combustion, but
have not operated, should be replaced
if they cannot be completely cleaned
by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or
by brushing it with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid
damage to the sprinklers before,
during, and after installation. Sprinklers damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must
be replaced. Also, replace any sprinkler that has a cracked bulb or that has
lost liquid from its bulb (Ref. Installation section).

MODEL ESFR-17 UPRIGHT SPRINKLER
COMMODITY SELECTION AND DESIGN CRITERIA OVERVIEW

Installation
TYCO Model ESFR-17 Early Suppression, Fast Response 16.8K Upright
Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with this section.
General Instructions
Avoid damage to the fusible Link
Assembly during installation by using
the Frame arms only to handle the
sprinkler (i.e., do not apply pressure
to the fusible Link Assembly) and by
using the appropriate sprinkler wrench.
Failure to do so can lead to an unstable
link assembly and premature activation
of the sprinkler. Damaged sprinklers
must be replaced.
A leak-tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained by applying a minimum-to-maximum torque of
10 to 20 lbs.-ft. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm).
Higher levels of torque can distort the
sprinkler inlet with consequent leakage
or impairment of the sprinkler.

Note: Install the Model ESFR-17


Upright Sprinkler in the Upright position (Ref. Figure 2).

Step 2. Wrench-tighten the Model
ESFR-17 Upright Sprinkler using only
the W-Type 21 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.
Figure 2) and by fully engaging (seating)
the wrench on the sprinkler wrench
flats (Ref. Figure 1).
Step 3. After installation, inspect the
Link Assembly of each Model ESFR-17
Sprinkler for damage. In particular,
verify that the Link Assembly and Hook
are positioned as illustrated in Figure
1, and that the Link Assembly is not
bent, creased, or forced out of normal

Model ESFR-17
16.8 K-factor Dry Type Pendent Sprinklers
Early Suppression, Fast Response
General
Description
TYCO Model ESFR-17 Dry Type
Pendent Sprinklers are Early Suppression, Fast Response (ESFR) sprinklers
having a nominal K-factor of 16.8.
They are suppression mode sprinklers
that are especially advantageous as a
means of eliminating in-rack sprinklers
when protecting high-piled box-in-box
refrigerated storage areas.
The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Pendent
Sprinkler is FM Approved and has
successfully undergone full-scale fire
testing at FM Global, when used in conformance with applicable FM Global
Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets.
The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler consists of an ESFR sprinkler permanently secured to a sprinkler drop
featuring an inlet with both grooved
and threaded connections. The drop
between the inlet and sprinkler remains
dry until the sprinkler operates, allowing for a pendent sprinkler installation on a wet pipe sprinkler system
where the dry drop and sprinkler are
located in an area subjected to freezing
temperatures.
The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinklers are primarily used for ceiling only
sprinkler protection (i.e., no need for
in-rack sprinklers) and used to protect
solid piled, palletized, and rack storage
that is subject to freezing temperatures.
The water supply is provided from a
wet pipe system located outside of the
refrigerated storage area. The Model
ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinklers feature

IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the INSTALLER
WARNING that provides cautions
with respect to handling and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its components and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

all of the same design criteria as 16.8


K-factor ESFR Pendent Sprinklers, and
substantially lowers the end head pressure requirement as compared to the
14.0 K-factor ESFR Dry Type Pendent
Sprinklers.
Combining a 16.8 K-factor with a
dry-type sprinkler design, the Model
ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler provides
the system designer with features that
offer flexibility when sizing system
piping, as well as possibly reducing or
eliminating the need for a system fire
pump when protecting high-piled boxin-box refrigerated storage areas.
The ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler also
includes two Insulating Seal Assemblies that help seal the clearance space
around the sprinkler casing. The seal
assemblies are intended to slow the
exchange of air between the heated
area and the protected area to help
prevent humidity and temperature differential in the area around the sprinkler. Condensation on the sprinkler and
subsequent ice buildup on or around
the sprinkler can occur that might
damage the sprinkler or prevent proper
operation in a fire situation.
To install the Insulating Seal Assemblies, follow the installation instructions in this data sheet. The Insulating
Seal Assemblies are recommended to
be installed on smooth, flat, and clean
surfaces. If it is expected that environmental conditions may result in excessive condensation, additional sealing of
the assembly is recommended.
There are specific situations, such as
corrugated surfaces where alternate
methods to seal the clearance hole are
recommended. For additional guidance, contact Tyco Fire Protection
Products (TFPP) Technical Services.
NOTICE
The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Pendent
Sprinklers (TY7229) described herein
must be installed and maintained in
compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in addition to the standards
of any authorities having jurisdiction.
Failure to do so may impair the performance of these devices.

Sprinkler Threaded Fittings
1-1/4 inch NPT Model ESFR-17 Dry
Type Sprinklers are to be installed in
the 1-1/4 inch NPT outlet or run of the
following fittings:
malleable or ductile iron threaded
tee fittings that meet the dimensional requirements of ANSI B16.3
(Class 150)
cast iron threaded tee fittings that
meet the dimensional requirements
of ANSI B16.4 (Class 125)

Do not install Model ESFR-17 Dry Type


Sprinkler into elbow fittings. The inlet of
the sprinkler can contact the interior of
the elbow and result in damage to the
assembly, resulting in leakage.
The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler
can also be installed in the 1-1/4 inch
NPT outlet of a GRINNELL Figure 730
Mechanical Tee.
Sprinkler Grooved Connection
The Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinklers can be installed in typical grooved
connection scenarios illustrated in
Figure 7.
For flexible couplings, use of the 2 inch
Figure 705 GRINNELL Flexible Couplings with C Shape Pre-Lubricated
Grade A EPDM Gasket (Ref. TFP1820)
is recommended.
For rigid couplings, use of the 2 inch,
Figure 577 GRINNELL G-FIRE Grooved
Rigid Coupling with C Shape PreLubricated Grade A EPDM Gasket
(Ref. TFP1854) is recommended.
When using tees, use of the Figure
219 GRINNELL Grooved Ductile
Iron Cast Fittings (Ref. TFP1810) is
recommended.

NOTICE
Do not install Model ESFR-17 Dry Type
Sprinkler into any other type fitting connection without first consulting TFPP
Technical Services. Failure to use the
appropriate fitting may result in insufficient engagement of the inlet pipe
threads with consequent leakage.
Exposure Length
When using Model ESFR-17 Dry Type
Sprinklers to protect areas subject to
freezing temperatures, use Figures
2 and 3, and Table D to determine a
sprinklers appropriate exposed barrel
length to prevent water from freezing in
the connection pipes due to conduction. The exposed barrel length measurement must be taken from the face
of the sprinkler fitting to the exterior
surface of the structure or insulation
that is exposed to the heated area.
Do not attempt to add additional insulation around the barrel in the heated
area as a method to minimize condensation. This will reduce the calculated
exposure length.

Clearance Space
In accordance with Section 8.4.9.2
of the 2010 edition of NFPA 13, when
protecting insulated freezer structures
with dry type sprinklers, the clearance
hole around the sprinkler barrel of
the Dry Type Sprinkler and the clearance hole must be sealed. Sealing is
accomplished by use of the Insulating
Seal Assemblies (Ref. Figure 7). Failure
to use the Insulating Seal Assemblies
will increase the potential for the formation of condensation on the sprinkler and subsequent ice build-up on
or around the sprinkler can occur that
might damage the dry type sprinkler
and/or prevent proper operation in a
fire situation.
FM Global 2-0
Consult FM Global and/or FM Global
guidelines for allowable vertical distance from ceiling to centerline of
thermal sensing element.

Replace with the new sprinkler following the installation instructions in this
section.

Operation

Step 2. Wrench-tighten the Model


ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinkler using only
the W-Type 26 Sprinkler Wrench and by
fully engaging the wrench on the inlet
wrench hex (Ref. Figure 5). For reference, the FRAME ARMS marking can
be used to align the frame arms with
the System Pipe as shown in Figure 5.

The casing between the inlet and the


sprinkler remains dry until the sprinkler
operates. The fusible link assembly is
comprised of two link halves that are
joined together by a thin layer of solder.
When the rated temperature is reached,
the solder melts and the two link halves
separate, activating the sprinkler and
allowing water to flow through the
casing and to the activated sprinkler.

Installation
TYCO Model ESFR-17 Early Suppression, Fast Response 16.8K Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with this section.
General Instructions
Avoid damage to the fusible Link
Assembly during installation by using
only the Casing to handle the sprinkler (i.e., do not apply pressure to the
fusible Link Assembly), and by using
the appropriate sprinkler wrench.
Failure to do so can lead to an unstable
link assembly and premature activation
of the sprinkler. Damaged sprinklers
must be replaced.
Model ESFR-17 Dry Type Sprinklers
must only be installed in fittings/connections that meet the requirements
of the Design Criteria section. Refer
to the Design Criteria section for other
important requirements regarding
piping design, exposure length, and the
sealing of the clearance space around
the sprinkler casing.
If a sprinkler using a threaded connection (vs. grooved connection) requires
replacement, remove the sprinkler
using only the W-Type 26 Sprinkler
Wrench. Fully engage the wrench on
the inlet wrench hex (Ref. Figure 5).

Threaded Connection
Instructions
A leak-tight 1-1/4 inch NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained by applying a
minimum-to-maximum torque of 45 to
65 lbs.-ft. (61 to 88 Nm). Higher levels
of torque can distort the sprinkler inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Note: Install the Model ESFR-17 Dry
Type Pendent Sprinkler in the pendent
position (Ref. Figure 5) by carefully
raising the pendent sprinkler through
the clearance hole. The deflector of the
pendent sprinkler is to be parallel to the
ceiling.
Step 1. Apply a non-hardening pipe
thread sealant such as TEFLON to the
male 1-1/4 inch NPT inlet threads.

Step 3. After installation, inspect the


Link Assembly of each Model ESFR-17
Dry Type Sprinkler for damage. In particular, verify that the Link Assembly
and Hook are positioned as illustrated
in Figure 1, and that the Link Assembly is not bent, creased, or forced out
of normal position in any way. Replace
damaged sprinklers.
Step 4. Install the insulation rings of the
Insulating Seal Assemblies by slipping
the insulation rings around the sprinkler casing as shown in Figure 7. Place
the inserts over the insulation rings by
sliding the inserts around the casing.
Place the housings over the Inserts
and insulation rings ensuring that the
slot on the housings are 180 degrees to
the inserts slot. Ensure that the Insulating Seal Assemblies are snug against
the refrigerated storage ceiling. Secure
the Insulating Seal Assemblies to the
ceiling using two self-tapping screws
per assembly.
Grooved Connection
Instructions
The following instructions are based on
using the 2 inch Figure 705 Grooved
Flexible Coupling or the 2 inch Figure
577 Grooved Rigid Coupling.
Step 1. Inspect the exterior groove
and the end connection of the mating
grooved connection and sprinkler to
verify all burrs, loose debris, dirt, chips,
paint and other foreign materials such
as grease are removed. Sealing surfaces must be free from sharp edges,
projections, indentations, and/or other
defects.

Step 2. Verify that the coupling and


gasket grade are correct for the application intended. Refer to Technical
Data Sheet TFP1895 for additional
gasket information. The sealing edges
and the outer surfaces of the gasket
should be covered with a fine layer of
lubricant. To prevent deterioration of
the gasket material, a silicone lubricant
should be used to prevent freezing of
the lubricant.
Step 3. Install the Model ESFR-17 Dry
Type Pendent Sprinkler in the pendent
position (Ref. Figures 4 and 7) by carefully raising the pendent sprinkler
through the clearance hole. The deflector of the pendent sprinkler is to be parallel to the ceiling. Also, ensure that the
FRAME ARMS markings on the sprinkler casing are aligned with the System
Pipe (Ref. Figure 6).
Step 4. Install the gasket by placing it
over the sealing portion of the grooved
inlet connection so that the gasket lip
does not extend beyond the end of the
groove sealing surface. Bring end of
the grooved inlet together with end of
grooved fitting ensuring vertical and
horizontal alignment. Slide the gasket
over both sealing surfaces.
Step 5. With one bolt and nut removed,
separate the coupling housings and
place over the gasket. Verify that the
coupling housings are over the gasket
and that the coupling housing keys are
fully engaged into the grooves.
Step 6. Insert the bolt and nut into the
coupling and finger tighten both nuts.
Verify that the bolt heads are fully
recessed in the housing.
The 2 inch Figure 705 Grooved Flexible
Coupling Housing bolt pads must be
in metal-to-metal contact. For Flexible
Coupling deflection data, refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP1820.
The 2 inch Figure 577 Grooved Rigid
Coupling has an intended gap of up
to 1/16 of an inch at each pad to allow
for positive rigid gripping onto the
pipe. The patented tongue and groove
design provides protection to the back
of the gasket during installation.
Step 7. Alternate between both sides
of the coupling when tightening the
bolts. Torque bolts to 30 lbs-ft. (41
Nm).
Step 8. Install the insulation rings of the
Insulating Seal Assemblies by slipping
the insulation rings around the sprinkler casing as shown in Figure 7. Place
the inserts over the insulation rings by
sliding the inserts around the casing.
Place the housings over the Inserts
and insulation rings ensuring that the
slot on the housings is 180 degrees to
the inserts slot. Ensure that the Insulating Seal Assemblies are snug against
the refrigerated storage ceiling. Secure
the Insulating Seal Assemblies to the
ceiling using two self-tapping screws
per assembly.

RAPID RESPONSE Series LFII Residential


4.9 K-factor Pendent Sprinkler
Wet Pipe and Dry Pipe Systems
General
Description

adjustment provided by the Recessed


Escutcheon reduces the accuracy to
which the pipe drops to the sprinklers
must be cut.

TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series


LFII Residential 4.9K Pendent and
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers (TY2234)
are decorative, fast response, frangible bulb sprinklers designed for use
in residential occupancies such as
homes, apartments, dormitories, and
hotels. When aesthetics and optimized
flow characteristics are the major consideration, the Series LFII Residential
Sprinklers (TY2234) should be the first
choice.

The Series LFII Residential Sprinklers


have been designed with heat sensitivity and water distribution characteristics proven to help in the control
of residential fires and to improve the
chance for occupants to escape or be
evacuated.

The Series LFII Residential Sprinklers


are intended for use in the following
scenarios:
wet and dry pipe residential sprinkler systems for one- and two-family dwellings and mobile homes per
NFPA 13D
wet and dry pipe residential sprinkler
systems for residential occupancies
up to and including four stories in
height per NFPA 13R
wet and dry pipe sprinkler systems
for the residential portions of any
occupancy per NFPA 13
The recessed version of the Series
LFII Residential Sprinklers is intended
for use in areas with finished ceilings.
It employs a two-piece Style 20
Recessed Escutcheon. The Recessed
Escutcheon provides 1/4 inch
(6,4 mm) of recessed adjustment or up
to 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of total adjustment
from the flush ceiling position. The

IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the INSTALLER
WARNING that provides cautions
with respect to handling and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its components
and cause the sprinkler to fail to
operate in a fire situation or cause it
to operate prematurely.

Dry Pipe System Application


The Series LFII Residential Pendent
and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
offers a laboratory approved option
for designing dry pipe residential sprinkler systems, whereas, most residential
sprinklers are laboratory approved for
wet systems only.
Through extensive testing, it has been
determined that the number of design
sprinklers (hydraulic design area) for
the Series LFII Residential Pendent and
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers (TY2234)
need not be increased over the number
of design sprinklers (hydraulic design
area) as specified for wet pipe sprinkler
systems, as is accustomed for density/
area sprinkler systems designed per
NFPA 13.
Consequently, the Series LFII Residential Sprinklers offer the features
of non-water filled pipe in addition
to not having to increase the number
of design sprinklers (hydraulic
design area) for systems designed to
NFPA 13, 13D, or 13R.
NOTICE
The Series LFII Residential Pendent
and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
(TY2234) described herein must be
installed and maintained in compliance
with this document and the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in addition to
the standards of any authorities having
jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair
the performance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintaining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating condition. Contact the installing contractor or product manufacturer with any
questions.

Hydraulic Design
(NFPA 13D and 13R)
For systems designed to NFPA 13D
or NFPA 13R, the minimum required
sprinkler flow rates are given in
Tables A and B as a function of temperature rating and the maximum
allowable coverage areas. The
sprinkler flow rate is the minimum
required discharge from each of the
total number of design sprinklers as
specified in NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R.
The number of design sprinklers
specified in NFPA 13D and 13R for wet
pipe systems is to be applied when
designing dry pipe systems.
Hydraulic Design
(NFPA 13)
For systems designed to NFPA 13, the
number of design sprinklers is to be
the four most hydraulically demanding
sprinklers. The minimum required discharge from each of the four sprinklers
is to be the greater of the following:
The flow rates given in Table A or
B as a function of temperature
rating and the maximum allowable
coverage area.
A minimum discharge of 0.1 gpm/ft2
over the design area comprised
of the four most hydraulically
demanding sprinklers for actual
coverage areas protected by the
four sprinklers.
The number of design sprinklers specified in NFPA 13 for wet pipe systems is
to be applied when designing dry pipe
systems.
Dry Pipe System Water Delivery
When using the Series LFII Residential
Sprinklers (TY2234) in dry pipe sprinkler systems, the time for water delivery must not exceed 15 seconds for the
most remote operating sprinkler.
Obstruction to
Water Distribution
Sprinklers are to be located in accordance with the obstruction rules of
NFPA 13D, 13R, and 13 as applicable
for residential sprinklers as well as with
the obstruction criteria described within
the Technical Data Sheet TFP490.
Operational Sensitivity
Sprinklers are to be installed with a
deflector-to-ceiling distance of 1-1/4 to
4 inches.
Sprinkler Spacing
The minimum spacing between sprinklers is 8 feet (2,4 m). The maximum
spacing between sprinklers cannot
exceed the length of the coverage area
(Table A or B) being hydraulically calculated (e.g., maximum 12 feet for a
12 ft. x 12 ft. coverage area, or 20 feet
for a 20 ft. x 20 ft. coverage area).

Installation
TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series
LFII Residential 4.9K Pendent and
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers must
be installed in accordance with this
section.
General Instructions
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler
if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the sprinkler held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch
(1,6 mm).
A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a minimum-to-maximum torque of 7 to 14
ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). Higher levels
of torque can distort the sprinkler Inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for
insufficient adjustment in an Escutcheon Plate by under- or over- tightening
the sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of
the sprinkler fitting to suit.

Series LFII Residential

TABLE A
RAVEN STUDIO SPRINKLERS
UL AND C-UL LISTING EXTENDED COVERAGE AREAS for LIGHT HAZARDS AND FLOW RATE CRITERIA

Design
Criteria
Standard Coverage Criteria
RAVEN Studio 5.6K Pendent and Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers (TY1281 and
TY1381) are intended for use in light
hazard or ordinary hazard applications as defined by NFPA 13, utilizing
the density/area method for hydraulically calculated systems, and with
fire protection systems designed in
accordance with the standard installation rules recognized by the applicable listing or approval agency
(e.g., UL Listing is based on NFPA 13
requirements).
RAVEN Studio Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers (TY1381) must be installed
with a deflector-to-ceiling distance of 4
to 12 inches (100 to 300 mm). To meet
this requirement, the centerline of the
sprinkler waterway must be located
4-7/16 to 12-7/16 inches (112,7 to 315,9
mm) below the ceiling (Ref. Figures 13
and 15).
Extended Coverage Criteria
RAVEN Studio 5.6K Pendent and Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers (TY1282 and
TY1382) must be installed in accordance with the flow rate criteria provided in Table A. They must be installed
and utilized in light hazard occupancies
only under smooth, flat, horizontal ceilings as outlined in the applicable installation standard recognized by the listing
or approval agency (e.g., UL Listing is
based on NFPA 13 requirements).
RAVEN Extended Coverage, Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinklers (TY1382) must be
installed with a deflector-to-ceiling distance of 4 to 12 inches (100 to 300 mm).
To meet this requirement, the centerline of the sprinkler waterway must be
located 4-7/16 to 12-7/16 inches (112,7

to 315,9 mm) below the ceiling (Ref.


Figures 13 and 15).

Operation
Water is prevented from flowing from
the RAVEN Studio Sprinkler by means
of a sealing assembly held in place
by operating parts secured by a link
assembly. The link assembly is comprised of two link halves soldered
together with an eutectic solder that
melts when exposed to heat. When
the link reaches its rated temperature,
the link halves separate and release
the operating parts and sealing assembly, allowing the deflector assembly to
extend from the body and water to flow
from the sprinkler.

Care and
Maintenance
TYCO RAVEN Studio Sprinklers 5.6K
Pendent and Horizontal Sidewall
(HSW) Quick Response, Standard and
Extended Coverage must be maintained and serviced in accordance with
this section.
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected fire protection
system from the proper authorities and
notify all personnel who may be affected by this action.
Service inspections should be made
on a regular basis to detect possible
damage or alterations to the sprinkler and escutcheon. Inspections
should include making certain that the
escutcheon is held fast to the mounting surface. Damaged or altered sprinklers are to be replaced immediately

to avoid personal injury and to prevent


use for causing personal injury, as well
as to maintain the sprinkler system in
an operative condition.

Sprinklers which are found to be


leaking or exhibiting visible signs of
corrosion must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated, or otherwise
altered after leaving the factory. Modified sprinklers must be replaced. Sprinklers that have been exposed to corrosive products of combustion, but
have not operated, should be replaced
if they cannot be completely cleaned
by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or
by brushing it with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid
damage to the sprinklers before,
during, and after installation. Sprinklers damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must
be replaced.
Frequent visual inspections are recommended to be initially performed for
sprinklers installed in potentially corrosive atmospheres to verify the integrity
of the materials of construction as they
may be affected by the corrosive conditions present for a given installation.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and devices
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the approval agency and standards
of any other authority having jurisdiction. Contact the installing contractor or product manufacturer with any
questions.
Sprinklers are recommended to be
inspected, tested, and maintained by
a qualified Inspection Service in accordance with local requirements and/or
national codes.

Series TY-FRB 5.6 K-factor


Conventional (Old Style) Sprinklers
Quick Response
General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick
Response described in this technical
data sheet are quick response, standard coverage, decorative 3 mm glass
bulb type spray sprinklers. These sprinklers are intended to be installed either
pendent or upright, and in either position, they produce a spherical water
discharge pattern with approximately
50% of the discharge directed upwards
and approximately 50% of the discharge directed downwards.
Conventional sprinklers are generally used with Ordinary and Extra High
Hazard Class Systems, as defined by
the automatic sprinkler system installation rules of the country and authority having jurisdiction. The National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) permits
the use of Old Style Sprinklers where
special construction features require a
unique water distribution; for the protection of fur vaults; or, the replacement of similar sprinklers that had been
installed prior to 1955.
NOTICE
The Series TY-FRB Sprinklers described herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance 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
jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair
the performance of these devices.

The owner is responsible for maintaining their fire protection system


and devices in proper operating condition. Contact the installing contractor or product manufacturer with any
questions.

The glass bulb contains a fluid which
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.

5.6 K-FACTOR, 1/2 INCH NPT, QUICK RESPONSE

Installation
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick
Response must be installed in accordance with this section.
General Instructions
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler if
the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the sprinkler held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch
(1,6 mm) for the 135F (57C) to 3/32
inch (2,4 mm) for the 286F (141C) temperature ratings.
A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 7 to
14 ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). Higher levels
of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.
Step 2. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2).
With reference to Figure 1, the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the wrench flats.

Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor, Conventional Sprinklers, Quick
Response must be maintained and serviced in accordance with this section.
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected fire protection
systems from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
Sprinklers which are found to be leaking or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated, or otherwise altered after leaving the factory.
Modified sprinklers must be replaced.
Sprinklers that have been exposed to
corrosive products of combustion, but
have not operated, should be replaced
if they cannot be completely cleaned
by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or
by brushing it with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the sprinklers before, during, and
after installation. Sprinklers damaged
by dropping, striking, wrench twist/
slippage, or the like, must be replaced.
Also, replace any sprinkler that has a

FIGURE 3
FASTFLEX FLEXIBLE SPRINKLER HOSE
INSTALLATION GUIDANCE

Installation
The TYCO FASTFLEX Flexible Sprinkler Hose as shown in Figure 1, must
be installed in accordance with this
section.
NOTICE
Flexible Hoses are intended only to
connect sprinklers directly to system
piping (Ref. Figure 1). Flexible Hoses
cannot be joined together to form
longer hoses. Joining Flexible Hoses
together creates an assembly with
unknown performance that has not
been accounted for in system calculations or safe product performance.
Step 1. Review the Design Criteria
section that applies to the Approval
agency recognized by the authority
having jurisdiction, as well as Figure 3
that provides installation guidance.
Step 2. Determine the approximate
place where the sprinkler will be
located. The Support Bar is 700 mm
long and shall be mounted on the
600 mm width of the ceiling grid. The
sprinkler should be located as close as
possible to the center of the distance
between ceiling grid T-bars.
Step 3. Slide the Reducer Bracket
onto the Support Bar. Loosely attach
the Reducer Bracket and the two Bar
Fixing Clamps on the Support Bar and
place the Bar Fixing Clamps such that
the Support Bar crosses the location
where the sprinkler will be located.
Step 4. Attach one end of the Flexible Hose onto the sprinkler reducer.
Applying the wrench to the Slip Nut,
and not to the Flexible Hose, tighten to
a maximum torque of 35 Nm.

Step 5. Attach the Inlet Nipple on to the


branch line. Ensure that the arrow is in
the appropriate direction of flow to the
sprinkler and to use pipe thread sealant
at the connection to the branch line.
Attach one end of the Flexible Hose on
to the Inlet Nipple. Applying the wrench
to the Slip Nut, and not to the Flexible
Hose, tighten to a maximum torque of
35 Nm. Do not twist the Flexible Hose.
Step 6. Bend the Flexible Hose into
a curve(s) that locates the Sprinkler
Reducer at the other end of the Flexible
Hose in the area where the sprinkler will
be located. The tube arc should not be
twisted, and the arc should be as large
and smooth as possible.
NOTICE
For minimum bend criteria, refer to the
Design Criteria section that applies to
the Approval agency recognized by the
authority having jurisdiction.
A bend radius smaller than provided by the minimum bend criteria
may adversely effect the friction loss
specifications stated by the approval
laboratory.
For assembly lengths greater than
1800 mm the Flexible Hose shall be
supported to the structure to ensure
that the maximum unsupported length
does not exceed 1800 mm. In these
cases, it is recommended that the tube
be secured to a fixed mounting point
every 600 mm, in order to provide a
more stable installation.
For installations per LPCB, all bends
greater than 45 shall be fitted with a
MRI55 Plastic Clip Minimum Radius
Indicator (Ref. Figure 4).

Step 7. Insert the Sprinkler Reducer


into the Reducer Bracket. Locate
the Reducer Bracket and Sprinkler
Reducer where the sprinkler will be,
and loosely tighten the Butterfly Bolt
on the Reducer Bracket.
Step 8. Attach the sprinkler to the
Sprinkler Reducer. Put a wrench on
the Sprinkler Reducer to counteract the
tightening torque and prevent the Flexible Hose from twisting. Reference the
sprinkler manufacturers sprinkler data
sheet for appropriate sprinkler tightening torque, sprinkler wrench, and other
guidance.
Step 9. Verify that the Sprinkler
Reducer is seated in the Reducer
Bracket. Precisely locate the sprinkler in all three axes in accordance
with the sprinkler manufacturers data
sheet. Tighten the Butterfly Bolts on
the Bar Fixing Clamps and the Reducer
Bracket. The tightening torque for the
Bar Fixing Clamp fastener is 4,5 to
5,7 Nm, and the tightening torque for
the Reducer Bracket fastener, is a
minimum of 2,3 Nm.
Step 10. After tightening all the Butterfly Bolts, verify that the sprinkler is
properly located in accordance with
the manufactures instructions. If not,
loosen the Butterfly Bolts and readjust
as required.

FASTFLEX
Model FB Flexible Braided Hose
General
Description

Technical
Data

The TYCO FASTFLEX Model FB Flexible Braided Hose is a unique sprinkler


drop assembly comprised of a stainless steel flexible hose a swivel inlet
nipple, a sprinkler reducer, and lightweight ceiling bracket components.
(Ref. Figure 1.)

Approvals
VdS Approved

The FASTFLEX Model FB Flexible


Braided Hose can be installed in false
ceilings without cutting and threading
pipes associated with installing a drop,
arm-over, and elbow. It provides easier
maneuverability around ducts and trays
in congested spaces and for unusual
ceiling types and curved plasterboard
ceilings. The FASTFLEX Model FB Flexible Braided Hose makes it possible to
test and charge the system with water
before the ceiling grid is installed.
Once the ceiling grid is in position, the
hoses can be reshaped to suit the final
sprinkler location without draining the
system.
The FASTFLEX Model FB Flexible
Braided Hose hoses are for use on wet
pipe sprinkler systems only.
NOTICE
The TYCO FASTFLEX Model FB Flexible Braided Hose described herein
must be installed and maintained in
compliance with this document and
with the applicable standards recognized by the Approval agency, in
addition 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 maintaining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating condition. Contact the installing contractor or product manufacturer with any
questions.

Type MV-R Reverse Action and Type MV-T Tank Top


Open Nozzles
Medium Velocity
General
Description
The Tyco Type MV-R Reverse Action
and Type MV-T Tank Top Nozzles are
open (non-automatic) spray nozzles
designed for use in water spray fixed
systems for fire protection of vessels or
structures containing highly flammable
liquids, gases and solids having flashpoints of 66C (150F) and below. They
are external deflector-type nozzles that
discharge against the direction of the
orifice in a uniformly filled spray pattern
of medium velocity water droplets over
a pre-determined area.
MV-R and MV-T nozzles are effective
in covering exposed vertical, horizontal,
curved, and irregular shaped surfaces
in a cooling spray to prevent excessive
absorption of heat from an external
fire and possible structural damage or
spread of fire to the protected equipment. They also promote vapor dilution
and dispersion.
The Type MV-R Reverse Action Nozzle,
designed specifically to protect spherical vessels and bulk storage tanks,
can be installed at any angle and discharges a 118 reverse angle conical
spray pattern (refer to Graph A).
The Type MV-T Tank Top Nozzle,
designed specifically to protect tank
tops, is installed in only an upright orientation and discharges a wide-angle
hemispherical spray pattern (refer to
Graph B).
Type MV-R and MV-T nozzles having
orifice diameters smaller than 9,5 mm
(0.37 in.) are factory assembled with
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the INSTALLER
WARNING that provides cautions
with respect to handling and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its components and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

an orifice insert and strainer. Strainers


have 3,2 mm (0.13 in.) diameter holes.
Nozzles equipped with strainers range
in size from MV10 to MV30 (refer to
Tables A and B).
It is recommended that the end user be
consulted with respect to the suitability of the materials of construction and
finish for any given corrosive environment. The effects of ambient temperature, concentration of chemicals, and
gas/chemical velocity, should be considered, at a minimum, along with the
corrosive nature to which the Type MV
Nozzles may be exposed.
NOTICE
The Tyco Type MV-R and MV-T Nozzles
described herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this document and with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection
Association, in addition to the standards of any authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair the
performance of these devices.
The design of individual water spray
fixed systems can vary considerably,
depending on the characteristics and
nature of the hazard, the basic purpose
of the spraying system, the configuration of the hazard, and wind/draft conditions. Because of these variations,
as well as the wide range of available
nozzle spray characteristics, the design
of water spray fixed systems for fire
protection must only be performed by
experienced designers who thoroughly
understand the limitations as well as
capabilities of such systems.

The owner is responsible for maintaining their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted with
any questions.

Design
Criteria
Nozzle Placement
Where direct impingement of water
spray onto all of the protected surface
is required by the authority having jurisdiction, Type MV-R and MV-R Nozzles
are to be spaced and directed so that
their spray patterns will completely
cover the protected surface with the
minimum required average density.
Both MV-R and MV-T nozzles must be
installed at a maximum effective distance of 0,75 m (2.5 ft.) from the protected surface.
Type MV-R nozzles can be oriented at
any angle on pipe sprigs (refer to Figure
3).
Type MV-T nozzles must be oriented in
the upright position on pipe sprigs (refer
to Figure 4).
Spray Patterns
Spray patterns for MV-R and MV-T
nozzles are shown in Graphs A and B
and apply to discharge pressures of 1,4
(20 psi). Though the Maximum Working
Pressure is 12,1 bar (175 psi), discharge
pressures in excess of 4,1 bar (60 psi)

will result in a decrease in coverage


area since the spray patterns tend to
draw inwards at higher pressures.
Main Pipeline Strainers
Main pipeline strainers per NFPA 15 are
required for systems utilizing nozzles
with a flow path less than 9,5 mm (0.37
in.) diameter (i.e., MV10 thru MV30, refer
to Table A), and for any system where
the water is likely to contain obstructive material.

Installation
The Tyco Type MV-R and MV-T Nozzles
must be installed in accordance with
this section.
General Instructions
A leak-tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a minimum-to-maximum torque of 9,5 to 19,0
Nm (7 to 14 ft.-lbs.). Higher levels of
torque can distort the nozzle Inlet with
consequent impairment of the nozzle.
Step 1. With pipe-thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, handtighten the nozzle into the nozzle fitting.
Step 2. With reference to Figures 1 and
2, apply an appropriate size adjustable
Crescent wrench to the wrenching area
and tighten the nozzle into the nozzle
fitting.

TFP809
Page 5 of 6
Frequent visual inspections are recommended to be initially performed
for nozzles installed in potentially corrosive atmospheres to verify the integrity of the materials of construction and
finish as they may be affected by the
corrosive conditions present for a given
installation. Thereafter, annual inspections per NFPA 25 are required.

WATER
DISCHARGE

In addition to inspecting nozzles for


proper spray performance during water
flow trip tests of the system, it is recommended that nozzles be periodically
inspected for broken or missing parts,
loading/obstructions, or other evidence
of impaired protection. The inspections should be scheduled weekly or
as frequently as may be necessary,
and corrective action must be taken to
ensure that the nozzles will perform as
intended in the event of a fire.
The owner is responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of their
fire protection system and devices in
compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the National Fire Protection Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to
the standards of any authorities having
jurisdiction. The installing contractor or
sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted relative to any questions.
Water spray fixed systems are recommended to be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspection Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
