Series TY-B — 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor
Upright and Pendent Intermediate Level Sprinklers
Standard Response
General
Description
The Series TY-B, 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor Upright and Pendent Intermediate
Level Sprinklers described in this data
sheet are automatic sprinklers of the
“standard response” 5 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-

Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
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.
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-B 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 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.

Operation
The glass bulb contains a fluid which
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.
Design
Criteria
The Series TY-B Pendent and Upright
Intermediate Level Sprinklers are
intended for fire protection systems
designed in accordance with the standard installation rules recognized by
the applicable Listing or Approval
agency (e.g., UL Listing is based on
the requirements of NFPA 13, and FM
Approval is based on the requirements
of FM’s Loss Prevention Data Sheets).

Installation
The Series TY-B, Upright and Pendent
Intermediate Level 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) for the 135°F (57°C) to 3/32 in.
(2,4 mm) for the 360°F (182°C) temperature ratings.
A leak tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of
7 to 14 b-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N·m). A leak
tight 3/4 in. NPT sprinkler joint should
be obtained with a torque of 10 to 20
lb-ft (13,4 to 26,8 N·m). Higher levels
of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Upright Sprinklers
The Series TY-B Intermediate Level
Upright Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the following
instructions.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.
Step 2. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (refer to Figure 3),
except that an 8 in. or 10 in. adjustable Crescent wrench is to be used for
wax coated sprinklers. With reference
to Figure 1 or 2, the W-Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench or the Crescent wrench,
as applicable, is to be applied to the
wrench flats.
Pendent Sprinklers
The Series TY-B Intermediate Level
Pendent Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the following
instructions.
Step A. Thread the S2 Shield onto the
sprinkler threads with the stamped
markings toward the deflector and
just to the end of the threads. The final
assembly step is easier to accomplish if the Shield is not disengaged by
continuing to turn the Shield past the
threads.
Step B. Roll the O-Ring over the sprinkler threads until it seats against the
Shield.
Step C. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.
Step D. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (refer to Figure 3).
With reference to Figure 1 or 2, the
W-Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be
applied to the wrench flats.
Step E. Rotate the S2 Shield clockwise (looking up) so that it slightly compresses the O-Ring between the Shield
and sprinkler fitting.
Wax Coated Sprinklers
When installing wax coated sprinklers
with the adjustable Crescent wrench,
additional care needs to be exercised
to prevent damage to the wax coating
on the sprinkler wrench flats or frame
arms and, consequently, exposure of
bare metal to the corrosive environment. The jaws of the wrench should be
opened sufficiently wide to pass over
the wrench flats without damaging the
wax coating. Before wrench tightening
the sprinkler, the jaws of the wrench
are to be adjusted to just contact the
sprinkler wrenching flanges. After
wrench tightening the sprinkler, loosen
the wrench jaws before removing the
wrench.
After installation, the sprinkler
wrench flats and frame arms must
be inspected and the wax coating
retouched (repaired) whenever the
coating has been damaged and bare
metal is exposed. The wax coating on
the wrench flats can be retouched by
gently applying a heated 1/8 in. diameter steel rod to the areas of wax that
have been damaged, to smooth it
back over areas where bare metal is
exposed.
NOTES
Only retouching of the wax coating
applied to the wrench flats and frame
arms is permitted, and the retouching
is to be performed only at the time of
the initial sprinkler installation.
The steel rod should be heated only
to the point at which it can begin to
melt the wax, and appropriate precautions need to be taken, when handling
the heated rod, in order to prevent the
installer from being burned.
If attempts to retouch the wax coating
with complete coverage are unsuccessful, additional wax can be ordered

in the form of a wax stick (the end of
which is color coded). Only the correct
color coded wax is to be used, and
retouching of wrench flats and frame
arms is only permitted at the time
of initial sprinkler installation. With
the steel rod heated as previously
described, touch the rod to the area
requiring additional wax with the rod
angled downward, and then touch the
wax stick to the rod approximately onehalf inch away from the area requiring
retouching. The wax will melt and run
down onto the sprinkler.

Intermediate Level 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, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection system must be
obtained from the proper authorities
and all personnel who may be affected
by this action must be notified.
Sprinklers that are found to be leaking
or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion
must be replaced.
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 (refer to Installation
Section).
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
