Model TFP PH2 — 5.6 K-factor
Institutional Pendent Sprinklers
Standard Response, Standard Coverage

General
Description

The Tyco® Model TFP PH2, 5.6
K-factor, Institutional Pendent Sprin­klers are standard response standard
coverage, fusible solder type spray
sprinklers designed for use in areas
such as correctional, detention, and
mental health care facilities.

The unique features of the Model TFP
PH2 provide a tamper resistant sprin­kler design that helps eliminate the
opportunity for individuals to injure
themselves or others with the compo­nents of a fire sprinkler. At the same
time, the Model TFP PH2 optimizes an
aesthetically appealing flush design
that conceals most of the operating
parts.

NOTICE

The Model TFP PH2 Institutional Pen­dent 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, in
addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. Failure
to do so may impair the per formance
of these devices.

The owner is responsible for maintain­ing their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or manufac­turer should be contacted with any
questions.

IMPORTANT

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.

Operation

In the standby condition, the design
of the Model TFP PH2 is such that a
dynamic load of 80 lbs. (36 kg) or more
applied to the linkage mechanism will
release the sprinkler. Also, when prop­erly installed, the escutcheon is held
fast to the ceiling to deter its removal.
The shape of the escutcheon cannot
be easily grasped, which further de­ters tampering.

A fusible solder operating element se­cures the linkage mechanism of the
Model TFP PH2. When the rated tem­perature is reached, the solder melts,
releasing the linkage mechanism that
holds the sprinkler closed. This allows
the deflector to extend downward and
water to flow.

Design
Criteria

The Tyc o® Model TFP PH2, 5.6
K-factor, Institutional Pendent Sprin­klers (TY3290) are intended for use
with fire protection systems designed
in accordance with the standard in­stallation rules recognized by the ap­plicable Listing or Approval agency
(for example, Listing is based on NFPA
13 requirements).

Only the Institutional Escutcheons
shown in Figure 2 can be utilized with
the Model TFP PH2. A maximum of
three Model 1752 Spacers only can be
utilized with Style B1 or C Institutional
Escutcheons when vertical adjustment
is desired.

NOTICE

The integrity of the tamper resistant
design of the Institutional Escutcheons
is dependent on the piping installation
d e si g n. W h en i n st a ll e d p ro p e r ly , th e I n­stitutional Escutcheon is held fast to the
mounting surface by the tightening of
the sprinkler assembly into the sprinkler
fitting. In order to accomplish a proper
installation, the sprinkler fitting must be
p r o p e r l y l o c a t e d w i t h r e s p e c t t o t h e d i s ­tance from the face of the sprinkler fit­ting to the face of the mounting surface
(Ref. Fig. 2); the sprinkler fitting being
r i g i d l y s e c u r e d a n d h e l d i m m o b i l e ; a n d ,
the center-line of the sprinkler fitting
being perpendicular to the mounting
surface to assure that the escutcheon
sits squarely against the mounting
surface around the entire perimeter of
the Institutional Escutcheon.

Installation

The Ty c o® Model TFP PH2, 5.6
K-f a ctor, Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the following
instructions.

NOTICE

Refer to the Design Criteria section for
important information regarding the
piping installation design and its effect
o n m ai nt ain in g t he int eg ri ty o f t he ta m­per resistant design of the Institutional
Escutcheons.

Obtain a 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
by applying a minimum to maximum
torque of 7 to 14 ft.lbs. (9,5 to 19,0
Nm). Higher levels of torque can dis­tort the sprinkler Inlet with consequent
leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.

Do not attempt to compensate for im­proper location of the sprinkler fitting by
under- or over-tightening the sprinkler.
Re-adjust the position of the sprinkler
fitting to suit, or increase or decrease
the number of Model 1752 Spacers,
as applicable.

A f te r th e i n st a l la t i on i s c om p le t e, ma k e
certain that the Institutional Escutcheon
i s h e l d f a s t t o t h e m o u n t i n g s u r f a c e a n d
that it sits squarely against the ceiling
around its entire perimeter.

Step 1. Install the TFP PH2 Sprinklers
only in the pendent position and with
the center-line of the waterway per­pendicular to the ceiling.

Step 2. With the Institutional Escutch­eon in place and with pipe thread seal­ant applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.

Step 3. Wrench-tighten the Sprin­kler using only the Model 1509-3
Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Fig. 4). Apply
the wrenching teeth of the Sprinkler
Wrench to the sprinkler wrenching
notch areas (Ref. Fig. 1).

Step 4. After the installation is com­plete, make certain that the Insti­tutional Escutcheon is held fast to
the mounting surface and that it sits
squarely against the ceiling around its
entire perimeter.
