Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document outlines the technical specifications and installation guidelines for TYCO Series DS-2 Dry-Type Sprinklers, specifically the 11.2K Pendent models, available in Standard and Quick Response types. These sprinklers are designed for environments where freezing temperatures are a concern.
Specifications
  • Sprinkler Identification Numbers (SINs): TY5255 for Standard Response, TY5235 for Quick Response.
  • Approvals: UL and C-UL Listed, NYC Approved under MEA 173-02-E.
  • Maximum Working Pressure: 175 psi (12.1 bar).
  • Inlet Thread Connections: 1 in. NPT, ISO 7-R 1.
  • Temperature Ratings: Various ratings available, detailed in Table A.
  • Finishes: Options include Natural Brass, Chrome Plated, and Signal White.
  • Physical Characteristics: Made from materials such as Copper, Stainless Steel, Bronze, and Glass.
Operation
The sprinklers operate using a glass bulb filled with fluid that expands when heated. Upon reaching the rated temperature, the bulb shatters, activating the sprinkler to discharge water.
Design Criteria
These sprinklers are intended for systems designed according to standard coverage installation rules recognized by agencies like NFPA 13. Specific fitting requirements include using 1 in. NPT outlets and avoiding elbow fittings.
Installation Guidelines
  • Ensure compliance with NFPA standards and jurisdictional requirements.
  • Use appropriate fittings to prevent ice formation and ensure proper engagement of inlet pipe-threads.
  • Maintain proper drainage and clearance to prevent ice build-up and ensure operational integrity.
  • Follow specific torque guidelines for leak-tight joints and avoid over-tightening.
Exposure Length
Table B provides guidelines for determining the minimum exposed barrel length to prevent freezing in wet pipe systems, based on ambient temperatures and wind velocities.
Figures and Tables
  • Figure 1: Illustrates the sprinkler assembly.
  • Table A: Lists temperature ratings and bulb color codes.
  • Table B: Provides minimum recommended lengths for exposed sprinkler barrels.
  • Table C: Details discharge coefficients based on K-factor lengths.
Conclusion
Proper installation and maintenance of the Series DS-2 Dry-Type Sprinklers are crucial for effective fire protection, especially in freezing environments. Adherence to the guidelines and standards is essential for optimal performance.
Installation and Removal Procedures
Use the specified wrenching method for removal. If a non-hardening sealant was used and torque guidelines were followed, removal is easier. Inspect the sprinkler for damage after removal. For ceiling installation, slide the outer piece of the escutcheon until it contacts the ceiling. For Deep Escutcheons, rotate the inner piece to secure it.
Care and Maintenance
Maintain the sprinklers according to guidelines. Obtain permission to shut down the fire protection system before maintenance and notify affected personnel. Absence of an escutcheon can delay operation. A vent hole in the bulb seat indicates if the sprinkler remains dry. Leakage suggests a need for inspection. Replace sprinklers showing signs of leakage or corrosion. Do not alter sprinklers after leaving the factory. The owner is responsible for compliance with NFPA standards and regulations.
Warranty and Ordering
Warranty terms are available on the Tyco website. For ordering, contact a local distributor and specify the product name, part number, order length, inlet connections, temperature rating, sprinkler finish, and escutcheon type and finish. Use the W-Type 17 Sprinkler Wrench and Model DSB-2 Dry Sprinkler Boot for installation.
Specifications
Sprinkler finishes include chrome plated, natural brass, and signal white. Temperature ratings range from 135°F to 286°F. Order lengths vary from 5.50 inches to 48.00 inches. The document provides part number selection for different configurations of standard and quick response, standard coverage, dry-type sprinklers.

TYCO Series DS-2 Dry-Type Sprinklers, 11.2K Pendent, Standard (5 mm bulb) and Quick Response (3 mm bulb), and Standard Coverage are decorative glass bulb automatic sprinklers typically used where: Sprinkler Identification Numbers (SINs) • pendent sprinklers are required on dry pipe systems that are exposed to freezing temperatures (e.g., sprinkler drops from unheated portions of buildings) TY5255 – Standard Response TY5235 – Quick Response • sprinklers and/or a portion of the connecting piping may be exposed to freezing temperatures (e.g., sprinkler drops from wet systems into freezers) NOTICE Series DS-2 Dry-Type Sprinklers described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document, as well as with the applicable standards of the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA), 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. Contact the installing contractor or product manufacturer with any questions. IMPORTANT Refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to regulatory and health information. Always refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER WARNING” that provides cautions with respect to handling and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and installation can permanently damage a sprinkler system or its components and cause the sprinkler to fail to operate in a fire situation or cause it to operate prematurely.
