General
Description
The TYCO Model TFP PH2, 5.6 K-fac-
tor, Institutional Pendent Sprinklers are
standard response standard coverage,
fusible solder type spray sprinklers
designed for use in areas such as cor-
rectional, detention, and mental health
care facilities.

aesthetically appealing flush design
that conceals most of the operating
parts.

Operation
In the standby condition, the design
of the Model TFP PH2 is such that a
dynamic load of 80 lb (36 kg) or more
applied to the linkage mechanism will
release the sprinkler. Also, when prop-
erly installed, the escutcheon is held
fast to the ceiling to deter its removal.
The shape of the escutcheon cannot
be easily grasped, which further deters
tampering.
A fusible solder operating element
secures the linkage mechanism of the
Model TFP PH2. When the rated tem-
perature is reached, the solder melts,
releasing the linkage mechanism that
holds the sprinkler closed. This allows
the deflector to extend downward and
water to flow.
