Standard response sprinkler TY-B series

upright

The TYCO Series TY-B 2.8, 5.6, and 8.0 K-factor, Upright, Pendent, and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers described in herein are standard response, standard coverage, decorative 5 mm glass bulb-type spray sprinklers. They are designed for use in light, ordinary, or extra-hazard commercial occupancies such as banks, hotels, shopping malls, factories, refineries, and chemical plants. The TY-B Recessed Pendent Sprinkler, where applicable, is intended for use in areas with a finished ceiling. It uses a two-piece Style 10 (1/2 in. NPT) or Style 40 (3/4 in. NPT) Recessed Escutcheon. The Recessed Escutcheon provides 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. 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 about 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.
