General 

Description

The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor, 

Upright (TY315) and Pendent (TY325) 

Sprinklers described in this data sheet 

are standard response, standard cover-

age, decorative 5 mm glass bulb type 

spray sprinklers designed for use in 

light, ordinary, or extra hazard, com-

mercial occupancies such as banks, 

hotels, shopping malls, factories, 

refineries, and chemical plants.
The recessed version of the Series 

TY-B Pendent Sprinkler, where appli-

cable, is intended for use in areas with a 

finished ceiling. This recessed pendent 

sprinkler uses one of the following:

• 

A two-piece Style 15 Recessed 

Escutcheon with recessed adjust-

ment up to 5/8 inch (15,9 mm) from 

the flush pendent position.

• 

A two-piece Style 20 Recessed 

Escutcheon with recessed adjust-

ment up to 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) from 

the flush pendent position.

The adjustment provided by the 

Recessed Escutcheon reduces the 

accuracy to which the fixed pipe drops 

to the sprinklers must be cut.
Intermediate level versions of Series 

TY-B Sprinklers are described in 

Technical Data Sheet TFP352. Sprinkler 

guards and shields are described in 

Technical Data Sheet TFP780.
