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.

Series TY-B and TY-FRB

Poly-Stainless Sprinklers

General 

Description

The TYCO Series TY-B and TY-FRB 

Poly-Stainless Sprinklers are corrosion 

resistant sprinklers designed for use in 

commercial occupancies where corro-

sive atmospheres may exist.
The series characteristics are as 

follows:

TY-B Series

•  5 mm diameter heat sensitive glass 

bulb

•  Standard response (SR) rating

TY-FRB Series

•  3 mm diameter heat sensitive glass 

bulb

•  Quick response (QR) rating

Although corrosion resistant sprinklers 

have passed the standard corrosion 

tests of the applicable approval agen-

cies, 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 this coating material 

for any given corrosive environment. 

The effects of ambient temperature, 

concentration of chemicals, and gas/

chemical velocity, should be consid-

ered, at a minimum, along with the cor-

rosive nature of the chemical to which 

the sprinklers will be exposed.

Upright and Pendent Sprinklers

The upright and pendent sprinklers are 

standard coverage spray sprinklers 

available in either 5.6 or 8.0 K-factor. 

The recessed version is intended for 

use in areas with a finished ceiling. 

The two-piece Style 10 (1/2 inch NPT) 

or Style 40 (3/4 inch NPT) recessed 

escutcheons provide 1/2 inch (12,7 

mm) of recessed adjustment or 3/4 inch 

(19,1 mm) of total adjustment 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.

Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers

The horizontal sidewall sprinklers are 

designed for installation along a wall 

or side of a beam and just beneath a 

smooth ceiling. Sidewall sprinklers are 

commonly used instead of upright and 

pendent sprinklers due to aesthetics or 

building construction considerations, 

where piping across the ceiling is not 

desirable.
A recessed version of the horizon-

tal sidewall sprinkler can be achieved 

by using the Style 10 recessed 

escutcheon.

NOTICE

The Series TY-B and TY-FRB Sprinklers 

described herein must be installed 

and maintained in compliance with 

this document and with the applica-

ble standards of the National Fire Pro-

tection Association, 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 main-

taining their fire protection system 

and devices in proper operating con-

dition. Contact the installing contrac-

tor or product manufacturer with any 

questions.
