How to choose
An escutcheon is the trim plate that covers the clearance hole around a sprinkler in a ceiling or wall. The Tyco Style 65 is a one-piece flush plate for use where the pipe drop can be cut to an exact length. The two-piece Style 401 (deep) and Style 60 (flush) are adjustable, so pipe drops need less precise cutting, and the system can be pressure tested before the ceiling is finished. For a recessed look, Tyco's Style 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70 recessed escutcheons are used with matching pendent and sidewall sprinklers, with Z-392 or Z-84 paint caps to protect the sprinkler while the ceiling is painted.
A sprinkler guard is a cage that protects the sprinkler from knocks. A shield is a plate above the sprinkler that stops water from sprinklers at a higher level wetting it, which matters in rack storage. Each Tyco guard and shield is matched to particular sprinkler series: TFP780 covers TY-B, TY-FRB, TY-L, TY-FRL, ELO-231, DS-1 and K11-231 models, and TFP784 covers the ESFR-22 and ESFR-25 pendent sprinklers. Choose by the sprinkler model already installed or specified.
RIS stands for Rapid Install Sprinkler, a Tyco connection used on ESFR sprinklers and fittings. The TF series adapters convert between RIS and conventional 1 inch NPT or ISO tapered threads: TF-1 and TF-2 are female thread to female RIS, TF-3 and TF-4 are male thread to female RIS, and TF-5 and TF-6 are female thread to male RIS. Pick NPT or ISO to match the existing pipe threads.
A sprinkler cabinet holds the spare sprinklers and wrench that NFPA 13 asks to be kept on site; Tyco makes cabinets for 6 or 12 standard sprinklers and for 6 ESFR sprinklers. The DSB-2 boot seals the clearance hole of a dry sprinkler in a freezer ceiling, and blow-off plugs keep open nozzles and sprinklers clear of insects and debris. FPS supplies and fits these accessories with Tyco sprinkler systems in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a sprinkler guard and a sprinkler shield?
A guard is a cage that protects the sprinkler from knocks and physical damage. A shield sits above the sprinkler so that water from higher sprinklers, for example in rack storage, does not wet it before it operates. Tyco also makes combined guard with shield assemblies.
Do escutcheon plates need their own approval?
Tyco notes that under NFPA 13, metallic escutcheons used for non-recessed installation, such as the Style 65 and Style 401, do not need a listing. For recessed escutcheons the approval comes from the data sheet of the sprinkler they are used with, and the Style 60 is UL Listed for specific Tyco pendent sprinklers.
What is a Tyco RIS adapter used for?
It joins Tyco's Rapid Install Sprinkler (RIS) connection to conventional 1 inch NPT or ISO tapered threads, typically when converting part of an ESFR installation. Tyco lists the TF series adapters as UL and C-UL Listed and FM Approved, in carbon steel.
Why keep a spare sprinkler cabinet on site?
NFPA 13 asks for a stock of each type of sprinkler used in a system to be kept on site, so an operated or damaged sprinkler can be replaced at once. Tyco cabinets are red painted heavy gauge steel boxes with a hinged cover that hold the spare sprinklers and a sprinkler wrench.
Does FPS supply and fit Tyco sprinkler accessories?
