Tyco Dry Sprinklers in Bhopal

Fire Protection System (FPS) supplies Tyco dry-type sprinklers in Bhopal for places where a sprinkler or its pipe could freeze, such as freezer rooms, unheated areas and loading docks. The range covers the DS-1, DS-2, DS-3, DS-8, DS-C and DS-ECC series, and FPS installs and maintains them across Madhya Pradesh.

Where to use Dry Sprinklers

  • Freezer rooms fed by sprinkler drops from a wet system
  • Unheated parts of a building served by a dry pipe system
  • Loading docks and overhangs
  • Building exteriors reached by a horizontal pipe through a wall
  • Unheated attics, with sprigs or drops from a wet system
  • Nursing homes, restaurants and schools below an unheated attic, with the concealed DS-C and DS-ECC
  • Systems drained for part of the year to avoid freezing, such as holiday resorts
  • Corrosive atmospheres, with the stainless steel DS-1 after checking suitability

Tyco Dry Sprinklers models

How to choose

A dry-type sprinkler is built on a sealed extension, so water stays back in the heated pipe or fitting until the sprinkler opens. That lets the head sit inside a freezer or an unheated space while the pipe feeding it stays where it cannot freeze. Tyco describes three typical uses: pendent drops from the unheated parts of a dry pipe system, sprinklers or pipe ends exposed to freezing (drops into freezers, sprigs into unheated attics, pipes through a wall to loading docks, overhangs and building exteriors), and systems that are drained for part of the year.

Choose the K-factor and coverage. The DS-1, DS-C and DS-ECC have a K-factor of 5.6, the DS-8 has 8.0 and the DS-2 and DS-3 have 11.2; the higher the K-factor, the more water at a given pressure. Most models are standard coverage, while the DS-1 sidewall in TFP520, the DS-ECC, the DS-2 in TFP540 and the DS-3 are extended coverage, which means each head is listed for a larger area. Response is set by the glass bulb: 5 mm for standard response and 3 mm for quick response.

Then pick the style: pendent, upright (DS-1 only), horizontal sidewall, or concealed pendent behind a flat cover plate (DS-C and DS-ECC). Inlets are 1 in. NPT or ISO 7-R 1, a 1 inch taper pipe thread, with 3/4 in. NPT also listed for the quick response DS-1 in TFP510. For corrosive atmospheres, the stainless steel DS-1 in TFP560 is the corrosion-resistant option, but Tyco asks that the end user check its suitability for the actual chemicals, humidity and temperature.

Approvals vary: Tyco lists UL and C-UL listing on all of these, with FM, LPCB, VdS and CE on the standard response DS-1 (TFP500) and FM, LPCB and CE on the quick response DS-1 (TFP510). FPS supplies, installs and maintains Tyco dry sprinklers in Bhopal and across MP and can help match the model to your cold room or unheated area.

Frequently asked questions

What is a dry-type sprinkler?
It is a sprinkler on a sealed extension that keeps water back in the heated pipe until the sprinkler opens. It is used where the sprinkler or the pipe that feeds it would otherwise be exposed to freezing temperatures.
Where are dry sprinklers needed?
Tyco lists uses such as drops from a wet system into freezers, sprigs into unheated attics, pipes through a wall to protect loading docks, overhangs and building exteriors, drops from unheated parts of a dry pipe system, and systems drained seasonally to avoid freezing.
Can a Tyco dry sprinkler be used on a wet pipe system?
Yes. Tyco states the DS-8 and the stainless steel DS-1 can be used in wet pipe, dry pipe or preaction systems, and lists drops from wet systems into freezers among the typical uses of the DS-1.
Is there a concealed dry sprinkler for a finished ceiling?
Yes. The DS-C (standard coverage) and DS-ECC (quick response extended coverage) are concealed dry pendents with a flat cover plate, meant for drops from an unheated attic into rooms where looks matter, such as nursing homes, restaurants and schools.
Does FPS supply and install Tyco dry sprinklers?
Yes. FPS supplies, installs and maintains Tyco dry sprinklers in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh. Prices are on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060.
