Tyco Fire Protection Products has introduced the TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series LFII Residential Pendent and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers (TY3934).
The new sprinklers are designed for use in wet pipe sprinkler systems in residential occupancies such as homes, apartments and hotels.
Incorporating decorative, fast response, frangible bulbs available in both 155 and 175 degrees with ½” threads, the Series LFII Residential Sprinklers protect larger room sizes with lower pressures and are intended for use when aesthetics and optimised flow characteristics are a key consideration. Their heat sensitivity and water distribution properties are proven to help in the control of residential fires and to improve the chance for occupants to evacuate the building.
Areas with finished ceilings can benefit from the recessed version of the Series LFII Residential Sprinklers. This employs a two-piece style 20 recessed escutcheon which provides 6.4mm (¼”) of recessed adjustment or up to 12.7mm (½”) of total adjustment from the flush ceiling position.
“Delivering the higher flows required for NFPA 13 (0.1 density) residential systems with lower pressures, our new 5.8K sprinklers offer users enhanced safety and installation flexibility,” says Don Ricca, Global Product Manager at Tyco Fire Protection Products.
