Operation
The glass Bulb contains a fluid which
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass Bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow
Design
Criteria
The S eries TY300-B
Upright
(TY3104), Pendent (TY3204), and
Horizontal Sidewall (TY3304) Sprin-
klers are intended for fire protection
systems designed in accordance with
the standard coverage installation
rules recognized by the applicable
Listing or Approval agency (e.g., UL
Listing is based on the requirements of
NFPA 13, and FM Approval is based
on the requirements of FM’s Loss Pre-
vention Data Sheets).
Only the Style 10 Recessed Escutch-
eon is to be used for recessed instal-
lations.
Installation
The Series TY300-B Sprinklers must
be installed in accordance with the fol-
lowing instructions:
NOTES
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler if
the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of
liquid from the bulb. With the sprinkler
held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch
(1,6 mm) for the 135°F/57°C to 3/32
inch (2,4 mm) for the 360°F/182°C
temperature ratings.
A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 7
to 14 ft.lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). A maxi-
mum of 21 ft. lbs. (28,5 Nm) of torque
may be used to install sprinklers with
1/2 NPT connections. Higher levels of
torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of
the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for insuffi-
cient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
The
Series TY300-B Pendent and
Upright Sprinklers
must be installed
in accordance with the following in-
structions.
Step 1.
Pendent sprinklers are to be
installed in the pendent position, and
upright sprinklers are to be installed in
the upright position.
Step 2.
