Series TY-L 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor Upright and Pendent Intermediate Level Sprinklers Standard Response General Description
The Series TY-L, 5.6 and 8.0 K-factor Upright and Pendent Intermediate Level Sprinklers described in this data sheet are automatic sprinklers of the standard response solder 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.

standards of the National Fire Protection Association, 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. The installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted with any questions.

Design Criteria
The Series TY-L Pendent and Upright 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 FMs Loss Prevention Data Sheets).

WRENCH RECESS

Operation
A copper tube sealed by two stainless steel balls holds a fusible alloy. When the rated temperature is reached, the alloy melts, the balls are forced toward each other releasing the tension mechanism, allowing the sprinkler to operate.

plied to the pipe threads, hand tighten 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 3). With reference to Figure 1 or 2, the W-Type 9 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to the wrenching area. Pendent Sprinklers The Series TY-L Intermediate Level Pendent Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with the following instructions. Step 1. Roll one of the two required O-Rings over the sprinkler threads until it seats against the sprinkler wrenching area flange as shown in Figure 1 or 2, as applicable. Step 2. Install the Shield over the sprinkler threads, and then roll the second O-Ring over the sprinkler threads until it is seated firmly against the Shield. Step 3. With pipe thread sealant ap-

Installation
The Series TL-B Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with the following instructions:

NOTE A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained with a torque of 7 to 14 ft.lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). A maximum of 21 ft. lbs. (28,5 Nm) of torque may be used to install sprinklers with 1/2 NPT connections. A leak tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained with a torque of 10 to 20 ft.lbs. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm). A maximum of 30 ft.lbs. (40,7 Nm) of torque is to be used to install sprinklers with 3/4 NPT connections. Higher levels of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet and cause leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.
Upright Sprinklers The Series TY-L Intermediate Level Upright Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with the following instructions. Step 1. With pipe thread sealant ap-

plied, hand tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Step 4. Tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type 9 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 3). The wrench is to be applied to the sprinkler wrenching area shown in Figure 1 or 2, as applicable. When installed correctly, the O-Rings will be slightly compressed and the Shield will be held firmly in place.
