General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 5.6 K-factor,
Upright (TY313) and Pendent (TY323)
Sprinklers described 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 occupan-
cies such as banks, hotels, and shop-
ping malls.
The recessed version of the Series
TY-FRB Pendent Sprinkler, where
applicable, 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-FRB Sprinklers are described in
Technical Data Sheet TFP357. Sprin-
kler guards and shields are described
in Technical Data Sheet TFP780.

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.
