IMPORTANT
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.

General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-FRB 2.8, 4.2, 5.6,
and 8.0 K-factor Upright, Pendent,
and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
described in herein are quick response,
standard coverage, decorative 3 mm
glass bulb-type spray sprinklers. They
are designed for use in light or ordinary
hazard, commercial occupancies such
as banks, hotels, and shopping malls.
The sprinkler, where applicable, is
intended for use in areas with a finished
Page 1 of 12
ceiling. This recessed pendent sprinkler uses one of the following recessed
escutcheons:
• Two-piece Style 10 (1/2 in. NPT)
or Style 40 (3/4 in. NPT) Recessed
Escutcheon with 1/2 in. (12,7 mm) of
recessed adjustment or up to 3/4 in.
(19,1 mm) of total adjustment from
the flush pendent position.
• Two-piece Style 20 (1/2 in. NPT)
or Style 30 (3/4 in. NPT) Recessed
Escutcheon with 1/4 in. (6,4 mm) of
recessed adjustment or up to 1/2 in.
(12,7 mm) of total adjustment from
the flush pendent position.
The adjustment provided by the
recessed escutcheon reduces the
accuracy to which the fixed pipe drops
to the sprinklers must be cut.
Corrosion-resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the
life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond
what would 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 minimum, along with the corrosive nature of the chemical to which
the sprinklers will be exposed.
An intermediate level version of the
Series TY-FRB Pendent Sprinklers
is detailed in technical data sheet
TFP356. Sprinkler guards are detailed
in technical data sheet TFP780.
NOTICE
The Series TY-FRB 2.8, 4.2, 5.6,
and 8.0 K-factor Upright, Pendent,
and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with
this document and with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in addition to
DECEMBER 2022
the standards of any 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.
NFPA 13 prohibits installation of 1/2 in.
NPT sprinklers with K-factors greater
than 5.6 in new construction. They are
intended for retrofit in existing sprinkler
systems only.

Operation
The glass bulb contains a fluid that
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
The TYCO Series TY-FRB 2.8, 4.2, 5.6,
and 8.0 K-factor Upright, Pendent, and
Recessed Pendent 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) and
3/32 in. (2,4 mm) for the 286°F (141°C)
temperature ratings. A leak-tight
1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint should
be obtained by applying a minimum-to-maximum torque of 7 ft-lb
to 14 ft-lb (9,5 N·m to 19,0 N·m). A
leak tight 3/4 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of
10 ft-lb to 20 ft-lb (13,4 N·m to
26,8 N·m). Higher levels of torque can
distort the sprinkler inlet and cause
leakage or impairment of the sprinkler. Do not attempt to compensate for
insufficient adjustment in the escutcheon plate by under or over-tightening
the sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of
the sprinkler fitting to suit.
Series TY-FRB Recessed Pendent
Sprinklers
The Series TY-FRB Recessed Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with the following instructions:
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.
Step 1. After installing the Style 10, 20,
30, or 40 Mounting Plate, as applicable, over the sprinkler threads and with
pipe-thread sealant applied to the pipe
threads, hand-tighten the sprinkler into
the sprinkler fitting.
Care must be taken 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. For more information, see
Installation section.
Step 2. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type 7
Recessed Sprinkler Wrench as shown
in Figure 15. Apply the sprinkler wrench
to the sprinkler wrench flats as shown
in Figure 1 to 4.
Step 3. After the ceiling is installed
or the finish coat is applied, slide on
the Style 10, 20, 30, or 40 closure over
the Series TY-FRB Recessed Pendent
Sprinkler and push the closure over the
mounting plate until its flange comes in
contact with the ceiling.
Care and
Maintenance
Step 1. Install pendent sprinklers in the
pendent position. Install upright sprinklers in the upright position.
The TYCO Series TY-FRB 2.8, 4.2, 5.6,
and 8.0 K-factor Upright, Pendent, and
Recessed Pendent 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, obtain
permission to shut down the affected
fire protection systems from the proper
authorities and notify all personnel who
may be affected by this action.
Step 2. With pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, handtighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.
Absence of the outer piece of an
escutcheon, which is used to cover
a clearance hole, can delay sprinkler
operation in a fire situation.
Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench as shown in
Figure 14. Apply the sprinkler wrench
to the sprinkler wrench flats as shown
in Figure 1 to Figure 5.
Sprinklers which are found to be
leaking or exhibiting visible signs of
corrosion must be replaced.
Series TY-FRB Upright and Pendent
Sprinklers
The Series TY-FRB Upright and
Pendent Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the following
instructions:
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
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 such as NFPA 25, in addition to
the standards of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. Contact the installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer regarding any questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems are recommended to be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspection Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
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. For more information, see Installation section.
Initial and frequent visual inspections of
random samples are recommended for
corrosion-resistant sprinklers to verify
the integrity of the corrosion-resistant
material of construction. Thereafter,
annual inspections according to NFPA
25 should suffice. Inspections of corrosion-resistant sprinklers are recommended at close range, instead of from
the floor level per NFPA. Inspection at
close range can better determine the
exact sprinkler condition and the longterm integrity of the corrosion-resistant
material, which can be affected by the
corrosive conditions present.
