IMPORTANT
Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
regulatory and health information.
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
installation 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.

General
Description
TYCO Issue D QUARTZOID 5.6K and
8.0K Upright and Pendent Sprinklers
are standard response, standard cov-
erage, 11 mm glass bulb-type spray
sprinklers designed for use in light,
ordinary, or extra-hazard, commercial
occupancies where high ambient tem-
peratures may be encountered.
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 atmo-
spheres. Although corrosion-resistant
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 suit-
ability 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 Issue D QUARTZOID Sprinklers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the NATIONAL FIRE
PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA),
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 main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.

Criteria
TYCO Issue D QUARTZOID 5.6K and
8.0K Upright and Pendent, Standard
Response, Standard Coverage Sprin-
klers are intended for fire protection
systems designed in accordance with
the standard installation rules rec-
ognized by the applicable listing or
approval agency (UL Listing is based
on the requirements of NFPA 13, and
FM Approval is based on the require-
ments of FM Approvals’ Loss Preven-
tion Data Sheets).
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.
