General
Description
TYCO Series TY-L 5.6K Standard
Response, Standard Coverage, Horizontal Sidewall (HSW) Sprinklers are
solder-type spray sprinklers designed
for use in light and ordinary hazard,
commercial occupancies such as
banks, hotels, shopping malls, offices,
etc. They are designed for installation
along a wall or the side of a beam and
just beneath a smooth ceiling. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers 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 coatings for any given
corrosive environment. The effects
of ambient temperature, concentration of chemicals, and gas/chemical
velocity, should be considered, as a

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.
minimum, along with the corrosive
nature of the chemical to which the
sprinklers will be exposed.
NOTICE
The Series TY-L 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.

the rated temperature is reached, the
alloy melts, the balls are forced toward
each other releasing the tension mechanism, allowing the sprinkler to operate.
Design
Criteria
TYCO Series TY-L 5.6K Standard
Response, Standard Coverage, Horizontal Sidewall (HSW) 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 NFPA 13 requirements).
The Series TY-L HSW Sprinklers
must be installed with a deflectorto-ceiling distance of 4 to 6 inches
(100 to 150 mm). To meet this
requirement, the centerline of
the sprinkler waterway must be
located 4-5/16 to 6-5/16 inches
(110 to 160 mm) below the ceiling.
Installation of the Series TY-L HSW
Sprinklers in recessed escutcheons
will void all manufacturer’s warranties,
as well as possibly void the sprinkler’s
approvals and/or listings.

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 inch
diameter steel rod to the areas of wax

that have been damaged, to smooth it
back over areas where bare metal is
exposed.
SERIES TY-L (TY3311) HORIZONTAL SIDEWALL SPRINKLER
FIGURE 1
5.6K, 1/2 INCH NPT, STANDARD RESPONSE
Installation
TYCO Series TY-L 5.6K Standard
Response, Standard Coverage, Horizontal Sidewall (HSW) Sprinklers must
be installed in accordance with this
section.
General Instructions
A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of
7 to 14 lb-ft. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). A
maximum of 21 lb-ft. (28,5 Nm) of
torque may be used to install sprinklers with 1/2 NPT connections. Higher
levels of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet and cause leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make up for insufficient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers
The Series TY-L HSW Sprinklers must
be installed in accordance with the
following instructions:
Note: Series TY-L HSW Sprinklers must be
installed with their centerline of waterway
parallel to the ceiling and perpendicular to
the back wall surface. The word “TOP” on
the deflector must face upwards toward
the ceiling.
Step 1. After installing an escutcheon
(as applicable) over the sprinkler pipe
threads and 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 9
Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 2), except
that an 8 or 10 inch adjustable crescent
wrench is to be used for wax coated
sprinklers. With reference to Figure 1,
the W-Type 9 Sprinkler Wrench is to
be applied to the wrench area, or as
applicable, an adjustable wrench is to
be applied to the wrenching flanges.
When installing wax coated sprinklers
with an adjustable 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
wrench flats. After wrench-tightening
the sprinkler, loosen the wrench jaws
before removing the wrench.
NOTICE
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
1/2 inch away from the area requiring
retouching. The wax will melt and run
down onto the sprinkler.
