Model SW-20 and SW-24 — 11.2 K-factor
Extended Coverage Ordinary Hazard
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers (Standard Response)

General
Description

The TYCO Model SW-20 and SW-24,

11.2 K-factor, Extended Coverage Ordi­nary Hazard (ECOH) Horizontal Side­wall Sprinklers, Standard Response
are decorative glass bulb sprinklers
designed for use in ordinary hazard
occupancies per NFPA 13.

The SW-20 provides protection of cov­erage areas up to 16 ft x 20 ft (320 ft2),
whereas the SW-24 provides protec­tion of coverage areas up to 16 ft x 24
ft (384 ft2), as compared to standard
coverage horizontal sidewall sprinklers
having a maximum coverage area of 10
ft x 10 ft (100 ft2) for ordi nary hazard
occupancies.

Horizontal sidewall sprinklers are
designed for installation along a wall
or the side of a beam and are com­monly used instead of pendent or
upright sprinklers due to aesthetics or
building construction considerations,
where piping across the ceiling is not
desirable.

Corrosion resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the life
of copper alloy sprinklers beyond that
which would otherwise be obtained
when exposed to corrosive atmo­spheres. Although corrosion resistant
coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the appli­cable approval agencies, the testing is

not representative of all possible cor­rosive atmospheres. Consequently,
it is recommended that the end user
be consulted with respect to the suit­ability of these corrosion resistant
coatings for any given corrosive envi­ronment. The effects of ambient tem­perature, concentration of chemicals,
and gas/chemical velocity, should be
con sidered, as a minimum, along with
the corrosive nature of the chemical to
which the sprinklers will be exposed.

NOTICE

The Model SW-20 and SW-24 Sprin­klers described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with this
document and with the applicable stan­dards of the National Fire Protection
Association, in addition to the stan­dards of any authorities having juris­diction. 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.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted with
any questions.

Design
Criteria

The TYCO Model SW-20 and SW-24,

11.2 K-factor, Extended Coverage Ordi­nary Hazard (ECOH) Horizontal Side­wall Sprinklers are for use in ordinary
hazard occupancies with non-combus­tible un obstructed construction and
with a ceiling slope not exceeding 2
inches per foot (9.2°), using the design
criteria provided in Table A, (as well
as any additional requirements speci­fied in NFPA 13 for Extended Coverage
Sidewall Spray Sprinklers).

A 36 in. (914 mm) clearance must be
maintained between the top of the
sprinkler deflector and any miscella­neous storage.

The SW-20 and SW-24 may be in stalled
on sloped ceilings in loading docks with
a maximum roof slope of 4 in. per foot
(18.4°) as shown in Figure 4 and using
the design criteria provided in Table A.

The SW-20 and SW-24 can be used
only for exposed applications. The
SW-20 and SW-24 cannot be recessed.

Installation

The TYCO Model SW-20 and SW-24,

11.2 K-factor, Extended Coverage Ordi­nary Hazard (ECOH) Horizontal Side­wall Sprinklers must be installed in
accordance with this section.

General Instructions

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 in. (1,6
mm).

A leak tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a minimum to
maximum torque of 7 to 14 lb-ft (9,5
to 19,0 N·m). Higher levels of torque
can distort the sprinkler Inlet with con­sequent leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.

Do not attempt to compensate for
insufficient adjustment in the Sprinkler
by under- or over-tightening the Sprin­kler/Support Cup Assembly. Re-adjust
the position of the sprinkler fitting to
suit.

Step 1. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers
are to be installed with their center­line perpendicular to the back wall and
parallel to the ceiling. The word “TOP”
on the deflector is to face towards the
ceiling.

Step 2. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.

Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
3 (End B) Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure

3). With reference to Figures 1 and 2,
the W-Type 3 Sprinkler Wrench is to be
applied to the sprinkler wrench flats

Care and
Maintenance

The TYCO Model SW-20 and SW-24,

11.2 K-factor, Extended Coverage Ordi­nary Hazard (ECOH) Horizontal Side­wall 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 system from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.

The owner is responsible 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 (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to
the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. Contact the install­ing contractor or sprinkler manufac­turer regarding any questions.

Automatic sprinkler systems should be
inspected, tested, and maintained by a
qualified Inspection Service in accor­dance with local requirements and/or
national code.

Absence of an escutcheon, which is
used to cover a clearance hole, may
delay the time to sprinkler operation in
a fire situation.

Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated or other­wise 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. Sprin­klers 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. (Ref. Installa­tion Section).

Frequent visual inspections are rec­ommended to be initially performed
for corrosion resistant coated sprin­klers, after the installation has been
completed, to verify the integrity of the
corrosion resistant coating. Thereafter,
annual inspections per NFPA 25 should
suffice; however, instead of in specting
from the floor level, a random sampling
of close-up visual inspections should
be made, so as to better determine the
exact sprinkler condi tion and the long
term integrity of the corrosion resistant
coating as it may be affected by the
corrosive conditions present.
