Installation
TYCO Model ESFR-17 Early Suppres-
sion, Fast Response 16.8K Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with this section.
General Instructions
Do not install any bulb type sprinklers
if the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin-
kler held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch
(1,6 mm) for both 155°F (68°C) and
200°F (93°C) temperature ratings.
A leak-tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a min-
imum-to-maximum torque of 10 to 20
ft.-lbs. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm), or by hand-
tightening and applying an additional
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 revolutions of the wrench.
Higher levels of torque can distort the
sprinkler inlet with consequent leakage
or impairment of the sprinkler.
WARNING
Orange protector must NOT be
removed until sprinkler is to be placed
in service. The W-Type 35 sprinkler
wrench MUST be used for proper
installation of the sprinkler. Failure to
do so may result in equipment damage
or failure.
Note:
Install the Model ESFR-17
Pendent Sprinkler only in the pendent
position (See Figure 2).
Step 1.
With pipe-thread sealant
applied, hand-tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting. Do not apply pres-
sure to the bulb assembly, and handle
the Model ESFR-17 Sprinkler only by
the Frame arms.
Step 2.
Wrench-tighten the Model
ESFR-17 Sprinkler using only the
W-Type 35 Sprinkler Wrench (See
Figure 2), and by fully engaging
(seating) the wrench on the sprinkler
wrench flats (See Figure 1).
Step 3.
After installation, inspect the
bulb of each Model ESFR-17 Sprinkler
for damage. In particular, verify that the
bulb is not cracked. Replace damaged
sprinklers.
