Installation
The TYCO Model WS Specic
Application Window Sprinklers must
be installed in accordance with this
section.
General Instructions
Do not install any bulb-type sprinkler if
the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the sprin-
kler held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 in. (1,6
mm).
A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler
joint should be obtained by applying a
minimum-to-maximum torque of 7 to
14 ft.-lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). Higher levels
of torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Step 1. Install the pendent vertical side-
wall sprinkler only in the pendent posi-
tion with the center-line of the sprinkler
parallel to the glass surface. Orient the
sprinkler so that the direction of ow
indicated on the sprinkler deector is
facing the window.
Step 2. Install the horizontal side-
wall sprinkler only in the horizontal
position with the center-line of the
sprinkler perpendicular to the glass
surface. Orient the sprinkler so that the
word “Top” indicated on the sprinkler
deector is facing the top of window
frame.
Step 3. With pipe-thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand-
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
tting.
Step 4. With reference to Figures 1 or
2, apply End A of W-Type 20 Sprinkler
Wrench only (Figure 4) to the sprinkler
wrench ats and tighten the sprinkler
into the sprinkler tting.
