The cover plate assembly conceals the sprinkler operating components above the ceiling. The flat profile of the cover plate provides the optimum aestheti- cally appealing sprinkler design. In ad- dition, the concealed design of the Se- ries LFIl (TY2596) provides 1/4 inch (6,4 mm) vertical adjustment. This ad- justment reduces the accuracy to which the fixed pipe drops to the sprin- klers must be cut to help assure a perfect fit installation. The Series LFII are to be used in wet pipe residential sprinkler systems for one- and two-family dwellings and mo- bile homes per NFPA 130; wet pipe residential sprinkler systems for resi- dential occupancies up to and includ- ing four stories in height per NFPA 13R; or. wet pipe sprinkler systems for the residential portions of any occu- pancy per NFPA 13. The Series LFII (TY2596) has a 4.2 (60,5) K-factor that provides the re- quired residential flow rates at reduced pressures, enabling smaller pipe sizes and water supply requirements. The Series LFII (TY2596) has been designed with heat. sensitivity and water distribution characteristics proven to help in the control of residen- . tial fires and to improve the chance for occupants to escape or be evacuated. The Series LFIl (TY2596) Residential Concealed Pendent Sprinklers are shipped with a Disposable Protective Cap. The Protective Cap is temporarily removed for installation, and then it can be replaced to help protect the sprinkler while the ceiling is being in- Page 1 of 4 stalled or finished. The tip of the Pro- tective Cap can also be used to mark the center of the ceiling hole into pIas- ter board, ceiling tiles, etc. by gently pushing the ceiling product against the Protective Cap. When the ceiling in- stallation is complete the Protective Cap is removed and the Cover Plate Assembly installed. WARNINGS The Series LFII (TY2596) Residential Concealed Pendent Sprinklers de- scribed herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document, as well as with the applica- ble standards of the National Fire Pro- tection Association, in addition to the standards of any other authorities hav- ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair the integrity of these devices. The owner is responsible for maintain- ing their fire protection system and de- vices in proper operating condition. The installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted relative to any questions. Sprinkler/Model Identification Number SIN TY2596 Technical Data Approvals: UL and C-UL Listed.

At this point the Deflec- tor supported by the Arms drops down to its operated position. The fusible link of the Sprinkler Assembly is com- prised of two link halves that are sol- dered together with a thin layer of sol- der. When the rated temperature is reached, the solder mells and the two link halves separate allowing the sprin- kler to activate and flow water. Design Criteria The Series LFII (TY2596) Residential Concealed Pendent Sprinklers are UL and C-UL Usted for installation in ac- cordance with the following criteria. NOTE When conditions exist that are outside the scope of the provided criteria, refer to the Residential Sprinkler Design Guide TFP490 for the manufacturer's recommendations that may be accept- able to the Authority /-laving Jurisdic- tion. System Type. Only wet pipe systems may be utilized. Hydraulic Design. The minimum re- quired sprinkler flow rate for systems designed to NFPA 130 or NFPA 13R are given in Table A as a function of temperature rating and the maximum allowable coverage areas. The sprin- kler flow rate is the minimum required discharge from each of the total number of "design sprinklers" as speci- fied in NFPA 130 or NFPA 13R. For systems designed to NFPA 13, the number of design sprinklers is to be the the four most hydraulically de- manding sprinklers. The minimum re- quired discharge from each of the four sprinklers is to be the greater of the following: · The flow rates given in Table A for NFPA 130 and 13R as a function of temperature rating and the maxi- mum allowable coverage area. · A minimum discharge of 0.1 gprnlsq. ft. over the "design area" comprised of the four most hydraulically de- manding sprinklers for the actual coverage areas being protected by the four sprinklers.

Refer to Hydraulic Design Criteria Section for details. TABLE A NFPA 130 AND NFPA 13R HYDRAULIC DESIGN CRITERIA FOR THE SERIES LFII (TY2596) RESIDENTIAL CONCEALED PENDENT SPRINKLER accordance with the obstruction rules of NFPA 13 for residential sprinklers. Operational Sensitivity. The sprin- klers are to be installed relative to the ceiling mounting surface as shown in Figure 3. Sprinkler Spacing. The minimum spacing between sprinklers is 8 feet (2,4 m). The maximum spacing be- tween sprinklers cannot exceed the length of the coverage area (Ref. Table A) being hydraulically calculated (e.g., maximum 12 feet for a 12 ft. x 12 ft. coverage area, or 20 teet for a 20 ft. x 20 ft. coverage area). Installation The Series LFII (TY2596) must be in- stalled in accordance with the follow- ing instructions: NOTES Damage to the fusible Link Assembly during installation can be avoided by handling the sprinkler by the frame arms only (i.e., do not apply pressure to the fusible link Assembly). A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint should be obtained with a torque of 7 to 14 fUbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). A maxi- mum of 21 tUbs. (28,S Nm) of torque is to be used to install sprinklers. Higher levels of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet with consequent leak- age or impairment of the sprinkler. Do not allempt to compensate for in- sufficient adjustment in an Escutcheon Plate by under- or over-tightening the Sprinkler. Readjust the position of the sprinkler fitting to suit. Step 1. The sprinkler must only be installed in the pendent position and with the centerline of the sprinkler per- pendicular to the mounting surface. Step 2. Remove the Protective Cap. Step 3. With pipe thread sealant ap- plied to the pipe threads, and using the W- Type 18 Wrench shown in Figure 2, install and tighten the. Sprinkler/Sup- port Cup Assembly into the fitting. The W-Type 18 Wrench will accept a 1/2 inch ratchet drive. Step 4. Replace the Protective Cap by pushing it upwards until it bottoms out against the Support Cup. The Protec- tive Cap helps prevent damage to the Deflector and Arms during ceiling in- stallation and/or during application of : .

It may also be used to locate the center of the' clearance hole by gently pushing the ceiling material against the center point of the Cap. NOTE As long as the protective Cap remains in place, the system is considered to be .Out Of Service". Step 5. After the ceiling has been com- pleted with the 2-1/2 inch (63 mm) diameter clearance hole and in prepa- ration for installing the Cover Plate As- sembly, remove and discard the Pro- tective Cap, and verify that the Deflector moves up and down freely. If the Sprinkler has been damaged and the Deflector does not move up and down freely, replace the entire Sprin- kler assembly. Do not attempt to mod- ify or repair a damaged sprinkler. Step 6. Screw on the Cover Plate As- . sembly until its flange comes in con- tact with the ceiling. Do not continue to screw on the Cover Plate Assembly such that it lifts a ceil- ing panel out of its normal position. If the Cover Plate Assembly cannot be engaged with the Mounting Cup or the Cover Plate Assembly cannot be en- gaged sufficiently to contact the ceil- ing, the Sprinkler Fitting must be repo- sitioned . Care and Maintenance The Series LFII (TY2596) must be maintained and serviced in accord- ance with the following instructions: NOTES Absence of an Escutcheon Plate may delay the sprinkler operation in a fire situation. Before closing a fire protection system main control valve for maintenance work on the fire protection system which it controls, permission to shut down the affected fire protection sys- tem must be obtained from the proper authorities and all personnel who may be affected by this action must be no- tified. Sprinklers which are found to be leak- ing or exhibiting visible signs of corro- sion must be replaced. Automatic sprinklers must never be shipped or stored where the tempera- ture will exceed 100oFI380C and they must never be painted, plated, coated, or otherwise altered after leaving the factory. Modified or over heated sprin- klers must be replaced. Care must be exercised to avoid dam- age - before, during, and after instal- lation. Sprinklers damaged by drop- ping, striking, wrench twisVslippage, or the like, must be replaced. The owner is responsible for the in- spection, testing, and maintenance of their fire protection system and de- vices in compliance with this docu- ment. as well as with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protec- tion Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction. The in- stalling contractor or sprinkler manu- facturer should be contacted relative to any questions. NOTE The owner must assure that the sprin- klers are not used for hanging of any objects and that the sprinklers are only cleaned by means of gently dusting with a feather duster; otherwise, non- operation in the event of a fire or inad- vertent operation may result. It is recommended that automatic sprinkler systems be inspected, tested, and maintained by a qualified Inspection Service.
