Tyco Fire Product CENTRAL K17-231 Bedienungsanleitung

Operation: The glass bulb contains a

fluid which expands when exposed to

heat. When the rated temperature is

reached, the fluid expands sufficiently to

shatter the glass bulb, which then allows

the sprinkler to activate & flow water.

WARNING

The K17-231 Upright and Pendent

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, in addition to the

standards of any other authorities

having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may

impair the integrity of these devices.

The owner is responsible for maintain-

ing their fire protection system and

devices in proper operating condition.

The installing contractor or sprinkler

manufacturer should be contacted

relative to any questions.

General

Description

The Central Model K17-231, 16.8

K-factor, Standard Response, Standard

Coverage, Pendent & Upright Sprinklers

are automatic sprinklers of the frangible

bulb type. They are "standard response

- spray sprinklers" which produce a

hemispherical water distribution pattern

below the deflector.

The Model K17-231 Sprinklers are

intended for use in fire sprinkler

systems designed in accordance with

the standard installation rules recog-

nized by the applicable Listing or

Approval agency (e.g., UL Listing is

based on the requirements of the

National Fire Protection Association).

Also, when acceptable to the Authority

Having Jurisdiction, they may be used

with a "Reduced Design Area" as

indicated in Table 2.

The 16.8 K-factor Model K17-231

Sprinklers were subjected to full scale,

high-piled storage, fire tests to qualify

their use in lieu of 5.6 or 8.0 K-factor

standard spray sprinklers for the

protection of high-piled storage.

Higher flow rates can be achieved at

much lower presures with the Model

K17-231 Sprinklers; making their use

highly advantageous in high density

applications, such as the protection of

high-piled storage.

The use of the 16.8 K-factor Model

K17-231Sprinkler also has the advan-

tage of having a specific application

listing, which in some cases can

subsequently reduce the design area

and the overall water demand of a

sprinkler system. Refer to Table 2 for

details.

Sprinklers

Physical Characteristics

The Model K17-231 Upright & Pendent

Sprinklers utilize a dezincification

resistant (DZR) bronze frame and a 5

mm bulb. The two-piece button

assembly is brass and copper. The

sprinkler frame orifice is sealed with a

gasketed spring plate (Belleville Seal)

consisting of a beryllium nickel disc

spring that is sealed on both its inside

and outside edges with a TeflonTM

gasket. The compression screw is

bronze, & the deflector is brass.

Data Sheet.

The Model K17-231, 16.8 K-factor

Upright Sprinklers (Ref. Table 1) are FM

Approved for use in accordance with

the FM Loss Prevention Data Sheets.

These "Control Mode Area/Density

Sprinklers" are approved with a

minimum residual (flowing) pressure of

7 psi (0,48 bar).

These sprinklers can be used with any

metalic flush or extended escutcheon,

provided the maximum ceiling to top of

sprinkler deflector dimension specified

in NFPA 13 is maintained. These

sprinklers are not listed or approved for

Table 1 - Laboratory Listings and Approvals

(16.8 K-factor Sprinklers 3/4" NPT)

The Model K17-231 Upright & Pendent

Sprinklers

must be installed in accor-

dance with the following instructions.

NOTES

Do not install any bulb type sprinkler if

the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of

liquid from the bulb. With the sprinkler

held horizontally, a small air bubble

should be present. The diameter of the

air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch

(1,6 mm) for the 155

F/68

C to 3/32

inch (2,4 mm) for the 286

F/141

rating.

A leak tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint

should be obtained with a torque of 10

to 20 ft.lbs. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm). A

Installation

maximum of 30 ft.lbs. (40.7 Nm) of

torque is to be used to install 3/4 inch

NPT sprinklers. Higher levels of torque

may distort the sprinkler inlet with

consequent leakage or impairment of

the sprinkler.

Step 1. Upright sprinklers must be

installed only in the upright position and

pendent sprinklers must be installed

only in the pendent position. The

deflector is to be parallel to the ceiling,

roof, or mounting surface, as applicable.

Step 2. With pipe thread sealant applied

to the pipe threads, hand tighten the

sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.

Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the

sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type 8

Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 4), With

reference to Figure 1 & 2, the W-Type 8

Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to the

wrench flats only.

Sprinklers

must be maintained and

serviced in accordance with the

following instructions.

NOTES

Before closing a fire protection system

main control valve for maintenance

work on the fire protection system it

controls, permission to shut down the

affected fire protection systems must be

obtained from the proper authorities.

All personnel who may be affected by

this action must be notified.

Sprinklers which are found to be

leaking or exhibiting visible signs of

corrosion must be replaced.

Automatic sprinklers must never be

shipped or stored where their tempera-

tures will exceed 100°F/38°C and they

must never be painted, plated, coated

or otherwise altered after leaving the

factory. Modified sprinklers must be

replaced. Sprinklers that have been

exposed to corrosive products of

combustion, but have not operated,

should be replaced if they cannot be

completely cleaned by wiping the

sprinkler with a cloth or by brushing it

with a soft bristle brush.

Care must be exercised to avoid

damage - before, during, and after

installation. Sprinklers damaged by

dropping, striking, wrench twist/

slippage, or the like, must be replaced.

Also, replace any sprinkler that has a

cracked bulb or that has lost liquid from

its bulb (Ref. Installation Section).

The owner is responsible for the

inspection, testing, and maintenance of

their fire protection system and devices

in compliance with this document, as

well as with the applicable standards of

the National Fire Protection Association

(e.g., NFPA 25), in addition to the
