To ensure your TYCO Series TY-FRB fire sprinkler heads function optimally, follow these steps: General Guidelines: Avoid installing any bulb-type sprinkler if the bulb is compromised (e.g., cracked or leaking fluid). When held horizontally, the sprinkler should have a small air bubble visible. Achieve a leak-tight seal with a 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint by applying a torque of 7 to 14 lb-ft (9.5 to 19.0 N·m). Be careful not to over-tighten, as this can cause distortion and leaks. Upright and Pendent Sprinkler Installation: Install pendent sprinklers in the pendent position and upright sprinklers in the upright position. Hand-tighten the sprinkler into the fitting, using pipe-thread sealant on the threads. Use a W-Type 6 Sprinkler Wrench to tighten the sprinkler to a torque between 7 to 14 lb-ft (9.5 to 19.0 N·m). Recessed Pendent Sprinkler Installation: Place the Style 15 or Style 20 Mounting Plate over the sprinkler threads. Hand-tighten the sprinkler into the fitting, applying pipe-thread sealant. Use the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench to tighten the sprinkler to a torque of 7 to 14 lb-ft (9.5 to 19.0 N·m). After installing the ceiling, slide the Style 15 or Style 20 Closure over the sprinkler, pushing it until the flange touches the ceiling. Care and Maintenance: Refrain from using sprinklers to hang items or cleaning them with anything other than a feather duster. Replace any leaking or corroded sprinklers immediately. Do not paint, plate, coat, or alter sprinklers after they leave the factory. Regularly inspect, test, and maintain your fire protection system, adhering to NFPA standards. By following these instructions precisely, you'll help ensure your TYCO Series TY-FRB fire sprinkler heads offer reliable fire protection for your commercial property.
