Kf 5.6 - Upright, Pendent & Recessed Pendent

The TYCO Series TY-B, 5.6 K-factor, Upright (TY315) and Pendent (TY325) Sprinklers described in this data sheet are standard response, standard coverage, decorative 5 mm glass bulb type spray sprinklers designed for use in light, ordinary, or extra hazard, commercial occupancies such as banks, hotels, shopping malls, factories, refineries, and chemical plants.

The recessed version of the Series TY-B Pendent Sprinkler, where applicable, is intended for use in areas with a finished ceiling.

This recessed pendent sprinkler uses one of the following:

  • A two-piece Style 15 Recessed Escutcheon with recessed adjustment up to 5/8 inch (15,9 mm) from the flush pendent position.
  • A two-piece Style 20 Recessed Escutcheon with recessed adjustment up to 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) 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. Intermediate level versions of Series TY-B Sprinklers are described in Technical Data Sheet TFP352. Sprinkler guards and shields are described in Technical Data Sheet TFP780.
