Model ESFR-1
14.0 K-Factor Pendent Sprinkler
Early Suppression, Fast Response
General
Description
TYCO Model ESFR-1 Pendent Sprinklers are Early Suppression, Fast
Response (ESFR) sprinklers having
a nominal K-factor of 14.0. They are
suppression-mode sprinklers that are
especially advantageous as a means of
eliminating the use of in-rack sprinklers
when protecting high-piled storage.
Model ESFR-1 Sprinklers are primarily
designed for protection of the following
storage arrangements:
• most encapsulated or non-encapsulated common materials including
cartoned, unexpanded plastics
• some storage arrangements of
rubber tires, roll paper, flammable
liquids
For more specific criteria, refer to
Table A as well as the applicable design
standard.
Applications for the TYCO ESFR Sprinklers are expanding beyond currently
recognized installation standards. For
information on research fire tests (with
flammable liquids and aerosols, for
example) that may be acceptable to an
authority having jurisdiction, contact
the Tyco Fire Protection Products
(TFPP) Technical Services.
IMP ORTA NT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER
WARNING” that provides cautions
with respect to handling and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its components and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.
NOTICE
The Model ESFR-1 Sprinklers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in addition
to the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction (e.g., FM Global).
Failure to do so may impair the performance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintaining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating condition. Contact the installing contractor or product manufacturer with any
questions.
In all cases, the appropriate NFPA,
FM Global installation standard, or
other applicable standard, must be
referenced to ensure applicability and
to obtain complete installation guidelines. The general guidelines in this
data sheet are not intended to provide
complete installation criteria.

MODEL ESFR-1 PENDENT SPRINKLER, 14.0K
Design
Criteria
The following general guidelines provided for the TYCO ESFR-1 Sprinklers
can be used for quick reference.
NOTICE
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and FM Global (FM Approvals) provide installation standards that
must be used to properly design an
automatic sprinkler system utilizing
Early Suppression, Fast Response
(ESFR) Sprinklers. The guidelines provided by NFPA and FM may differ; consequently, the appropriate standard
must be used for a given installation.
In all cases, the appropriate NFPA or
FM installation standard must be referenced to assure applicability and to
obtain complete installation guidelines,
since the following general guidelines
are not intended to provide complete
installation criteria.

Operation
The fusible link assembly is comprised of two link halves that are joined
together by a thin layer of solder. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
solder melts and the two link halves
separate, activating the sprinkler and
flowing water.

MODEL ESFR-1 PENDENT SPRINKLER
COMMODITY SELECTION AND DESIGN CRITERIA OVERVIEW
Installation
TYCO Model ESFR-1 Early Suppression, Fast Response 14.0K Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with this section.
NOTICE
Damage to the fusible Link Assembly during installation can be avoided
by handling the sprinkler by the frame
arms only (i.e., do not apply pressure
to the fusible Link Assembly), and by
using the appropriate sprinkler wrench.
Failure to do so can lead to an unstable
link assembly and premature activation
of the sprinkler. Damaged sprinklers
must be replaced.
A leak-tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained by applying a minimum-to-maximum torque of
10 to 20 lbs.-ft. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm).
Higher levels of torque can distort the
sprinkler inlet with consequent leakage
or impairment of the sprinkler.
Note: Install the Model ESFR-1
Pendent Sprinkler in the pendent position (Ref. Figure 2).
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied, hand-tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting. Do not apply pressure to the Link Assembly, and handle
the Model ESFR-1 Sprinkler only by the
Frame arms.
Step 2. Wrench-tighten the Model
ESFR-1 Sprinkler using only the
W-Type 2 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.
Figure 2) and by fully engaging (seating)
the wrench on the sprinkler wrench flats
(Ref. Figure 1).
Step 3. After installation, inspect the
Link Assembly of each Model ESFR-1
Sprinkler for damage. In particular, verify that the Link Assembly and
Hook are positioned as illustrated in
Figure 1, and that the Link Assembly
is not bent, creased, or forced out of
normal position in any way. Replace
damaged sprinklers.

Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Model ESFR-1 Early Suppression, Fast Response 14.0K Pendent
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.
Exercise care to avoid damage before,
during, and after installation. Never
paint, plate, coat, or otherwise alter
automatic sprinklers after they leave
the factory.
Replace sprinklers that:
• were modified or over-heated
• were damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twisting, wrench slippage, or
the like
• are leaking or exhibiting visible signs
of corrosion
Responsibility lies with the owner for
the inspection, 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 Association (for example, NFPA
25), in addition to the standards of any
authorities having jurisdiction. Contact
the installing contractor or product
manufacturer with any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems are
recommended to be inspected,
tested, and maintained by a qualified
Inspection Service in accordance with
local requirements and/or national
codes.
