After the installation is complete, make
certain that the Institutional Escutcheon
is held fast (that is, tight with no move-
ment or gap) to the mounting surface
and that the Escutcheon sits squarely
against the mounting surface around
the entire perimeter of the Escutcheon.
Step 1.
Install the TFP PH5 Sprinklers
horizontally with the center-line of their
waterway perpendicular to the mount-
ing surface and parallel to the ceiling.
The Deflector must be located with the
top towards the ceiling (Ref. Figure 1).
Step 2.
With the Institutional Escutch-
eon in place and with pipe-thread
sealant applied to the pipe threads,
hand-tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting.
Step 3.
Using only the Model 1509-3
Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 5),
wrench-tighten the Sprinkler while
applying the wrenching teeth of the
Sprinkler Wrench to the sprinkler
wrenching notch areas (Ref. Figure 1).
Step 4.
After the installation is com-
plete, make certain that the Institutional
Escutcheon is held fast to the mounting
surface and that it sits squarely against
the mounting surface around its entire
perimeter.
NOTICE
The Sprinkler Body must not extend
beyond the Institutional Escutcheon
(Ref. Figure 4). Otherwise, the tamper-
resistant design of the Model TFP PH5
will be compromised.
Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Model TFP PH5 Sprinklers
must be maintained and serviced in
accordance with this section.
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected fire protection
systems from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
The owner must assure that the sprin-
klers are not used for hanging any
objects and that the sprinklers are only
cleaned by means of gently dusting
with a feather duster; otherwise, non-
operation in the event of a fire or inad-
vertent operation may result.
Sprinklers which are found to be
leaking or exhibiting visible signs of
corrosion must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated, or other-
wise altered after leaving the factory.
Modified sprinklers must be replaced.
Sprinklers that have been exposed to
corrosive products of combustion, but
have not operated, should be replaced
if they cannot be completely cleaned
by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or
by brushing it with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid
damage to the sprinklers - before,
during, and after installation. Sprin-
klers damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must
be replaced. Also, replace any sprinkler
that has a cracked bulb or that has lost
liquid from its bulb. Refer to the Instal-
lation section for additional information.
The owner is responsible for the inspec-
tion, testing, and maintenance of their
fire protection system and devices in
compliance with this document, as well
as with the applicable standards of the
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSO-
CIATION (that is, NFPA 25), in addi-
tion to the standards of any authorities
having jurisdiction. Contact the install-
ing contractor or product manufacturer
with any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems should be
inspected, tested, and maintained by a
qualified Inspection Service in accor-
dance with local requirements and/or
national codes.
Note:
Model 1752 Spacers are not to be used to obtain horizontal adjustment for the Model TFP PH5 with Style B2 or C
Escutcheons.
