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.

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.

Design
Criteria
TYCO Series TY-FRB 5.6K and 8.0K
Quick Response Upright and Pendent
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 Approvals’ Loss Prevention Data
Sheets).
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.

Installation
TYCO Series TY-FRB 5.6K and 8.0K
Quick Response Upright and Pendent
Intermediate Level Sprinklers must
be installed in accordance with this
section.
NOTICE
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 286°F (141°C) temperature ratings.
General Instructions
A leak-tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a
minimum-to-maximum torque of 7 to
14 lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N∙m). A leak-tight
3/4 in. NPT sprinkler joint should be
obtained by applying a minimum-tomaximum 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-FRB Intermediate Level
Upright Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the following
instructions:
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, handtighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.
Step 2. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 3). With
reference to Figure 1 or 2, the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the wrench flats.
Pendent Sprinklers
The Series TY-FRB Intermediate Level
Pendent Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the following
instructions:
Step 1. Thread the Model 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 2. Roll the O-ring over the sprinkler threads until it seats against the
shield.
Step 3. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, handtighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.
Step 4. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 3). With
reference to Figure 1 or 2, the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the wrench flats.
Step 5. Rotate the Model S2 Shield
clockwise (looking up) so that it slightly
compresses the O-ring between the
shield and sprinkler fitting.
Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Series TY-FRB 5.6K and 8.0K
Quick Response Upright and Pendent
Intermediate Level Sprinklers must be
maintained and serviced in accordance
with this section.
Before closing a fire protection system
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 the Installation section for additional information.
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 inspecting
from the floor level, a random sampling
of close-up visual inspections should
be made, so as to better determine the
exact sprinkler condition and the long
term integrity of the corrosion resistant
coating, as it may be affected by the
corrosive conditions present.
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 with
any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspection Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
