Installation 

The Series TY-B Sprinklers must be installed in 

accordance with the following instructions: 

NOTES 

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 1,5 

mm (1/16”) for the 57°C (135°F) to 2,5 mm 

(3/32”) for the 182°C (360°F) temperature ratings. 

A leak tight 1/2” NPT sprinkler joint should be 

obtained with a torque of 10 to 19 Nm (7 to 

14 ft.lbs.). A maximum of 29 Nm (21 ft. lbs.) 

of torque may be used to install sprinklers 

with 1/2 NPT connections. A leak tight 3/4” 

NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained with 

a torque of 13 to 37 Nm (10 to 20 ft.lbs.). A 

maximum of 41 Nm (30 ft.lbs.) 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. 

Do not attempt to make-up for insufficient 

adjustment in the escutcheon plate by underor 

over-tightening the sprinkler. Readjust the 

position of the sprinkler fitting to suit.
