General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-L 5.6 and
8.0 K-factor Upright, Pendent,
and Recessed Pendent Sprin-
klers described herein are stan-
dard response, standard coverage,
solder type spray sprinklers. They are
designed for use in light, ordinary, and
extra-hazard commercial occupan-
cies such as banks, hotels, shopping
malls, factories, refineries, and chemi-
cal plants.
The Series TY-L Recessed Pendent
Sprinkler, where applicable, is
intended for use in areas with a fin-
ished ceiling. It uses a two-piece
Style 20 (1/2 in. NPT) or Style 30
(3/4 in. NPT) Recessed Escutcheon.
The Recessed Escutcheon provides
1/4 in. (6,4 mm) of recessed adjust-
ment or up to 1/2 in. (12,7 mm) of total
adjustment 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.
Corrosion-resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the
life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond
what would be obtained when exposed
to corrosive atmospheres. Although
corrosion-resistant coated sprinklers
have passed the standard corrosion
tests of the applicable approval agen-
cies, the testing is not representative
of all possible corrosive atmospheres.
Consequently, it is recommended
that the end-user be consulted about
the suitability of these coatings for
any given corrosive environment. The
effects of ambient temperature, con-
centration of chemicals, and gas/
chemical velocity, should be consid-
ered as a minimum, along with the cor-
rosive nature of the chemical to which
the sprinklers will be exposed.
An intermediate level version of the
Series TY-L Pendent Sprinkler can be
obtained by utilizing the Series TY-L
Pendent Sprinkler in combination with
the Model S Shield.
