Description
The TYCO Model FSC 80 K-factor Flush
Sprinkler Concrete Sprinklers are quick
response spray sprinklers designed for
use in areas such as offices, hospitals,
churches, schools, apartments, and
hotels.
• For applications in poured concrete
ceiling/floor assemblies, a unique
Installation Cup is used to form the
recessed cavity into which the FSC
Sprinkler is installed
• The flush design is made aestheti-
cally appealing by concealing the
deflector and other operating parts
above the link assembly. The FSC
Sprinklers, with heat sensitive sol-
der type release elements, are rated
quick response sprinklers
