General
Description
The TYCO Model TFP PH5, 5.6 K-fac-
tor, Institutional Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklers are standard-response,
standard-coverage spray sprinklers
designed for use in areas such as cor-
rectional, detention, and mental health
care facilities.
The unique features of the Model
TFP PH5 provide a tamper-resistant
sprinkler design that helps eliminate
the opportunity for individuals to injure
themselves or others with components
of a fire sprinkler. At the same time,
the Model TFP PH5 optimizes an
aesthetically appealing flush design
that conceals most of the operating
parts.

Operation
In the standby condition, the design of
the TYCO Model TFP PH5 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 wall to deter its removal.
The shape of the escutcheon cannot
be grasped easily, which further deters
tampering.
A fusible solder operating element
secures the linkage mechanism of the
Model TFP PH5. When the rated tem-
perature is reached, the solder melts,
releasing the linkage mechanism that
holds the sprinkler closed. This release
allows the deflector to extend outward
and water to flow.
