Series TY-FRB – 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor
Upright and Pendent Intermediate Level Sprinklers
Quick Response
General
Description
TYCO Series TY-FRB 5.6K and 8.0K
Quick Response Upright and Pendent
Intermediate Level Sprinklers are automatic sprinklers of the quick response
3 mm frangible bulb type. They are
standard spray sprinklers intended for
use in fire sprinkler systems designed
in accordance with the standard installation rules recognized by the applicable listing or approval agency (e.g.,
UL Listing is based on NFPA requirements). Both the pendent and upright
sprinklers produce a hemispherical
water distribution pattern below the
deflector.
Intermediate level sprinklers are primarily designed for use in rack storage
sprinkler systems where their thermally
sensitive elements must be shielded
from the water spray of higher elevation sprinklers that could operate
earlier during a fire. Intermediate level
sprinklers are also used in other applications such as beneath open gridded
catwalks.
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 cor-
rosive atmospheres. Consequently,
it is recommended that the end user
be consulted with respect to the suitability of these coatings for any given
corrosive environment. The effects of
ambient temperature, concentration of
chemicals, and gas/chemical velocity,
should be considered, as a minimum,
along with the corrosive nature of the
chemical to which the sprinklers will be
exposed.
NOTICE
The Series TY-FRB 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. 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.

regulatory and health information.
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.
