RAPID RESPONSE Series LFII Residential
49 K-factor Pendent Sprinkler
Wet Pipe and Dry Pipe Systems
General
Description
TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series
LFII Residential 4.9K Pendent and
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers (TY2234)
are decorative, fast response, frangi-
ble bulb sprinklers designed for use
in residential occupancies such as
homes, apartments, dormitories, and
hotels. When aesthetics and optimized
flow characteristics are the major con-
sideration, the Series LFII Residential
Sprinklers (TY2234) should be the first
choice.
The Series LFII Residential Sprinklers
are intended for use in the following
scenarios:
wet and dry pipe residential sprin-
kler systems for one- and two-fam-
ily dwellings and mobile homes per
NFPA 13D
wet and dry pipe residential sprinkler
systems for residential occupancies
up to and including four stories in
height per NFPA 13R
wet and dry pipe sprinkler systems
for the residential portions of any
occupancy per NFPA 13
The recessed version of the Series
LFII Residential Sprinklers is intended
for use in areas with finished ceilings.
It employs a two-piece Style 20
Recessed Escutcheon. The Recessed
Escutcheon provides 1/4 in. (6,4 mm)
of recessed adjustment or up to 1/2 in.
(12,7 mm) of total adjustment from the
IMPORTANT
Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
regulatory and health in formation.
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the "INSTALLER
WARNING" that provides cautions
with respect to handling and instal-
lation of sprinkler systems and com-
ponents. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its compo-
nents and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

flush ceiling position. The adjustment
provided by the Recessed Escutcheon
reduces the accuracy to which the pipe
drops to the sprinklers must be cut.
The Series LFII ResidentiaJ Sprinklers
have been designed with heat sensi-
tivity and water distribution charac-
teristics proven to help in the control
of residential fires and to improve the
chance for occupants to escape or be
evacuated.
Corrosion-resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the life
of copper alloy sprinklers beyond that
which would otherwise be obtained
when exposed to corrosive atmo-
spheres. Although corrosion-resistant
coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the appli-
cable Approval agencies, the testing is
not representative of all possible cor-
rosive atmospheres. Consequently,
it is recommended that the end user
be consulted with respectto the suit-
ability of these coatings for any given
corrosive environment. The effects of
ambient temperature, concentration of
chemicals, and gas/chemical velocity
should be considered, as a minimum,
along with the corrosive nature of the
chemical to which the sprinklers will be
exposed.
Dry Pipe System Application
The Series LFII Residential Pendent
and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
offers a laboratory approved option
for designing dry pipe residential sprin-
kler systems, whereas, most residential
sprinklers are laboratory approved for
wet systems only.
Through extensive testing, it has been
determined that the number of design
sprinklers (hydraulic design area) for
the Series LFll Residential Pendent and
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers (TY2234)
need not be increased over the number
of design sprinklers (hydraulic design
area) as specified for wet pipe sprinkler
systems, as is accustomed for density/
area sprinkler systems designed per
NFPA 13.
DECEMBER 2018
Consequently, the Series LFII Resi-
dential Sprinklers offer the features
of non-water filled pipe in addition
to not having to increase the number
of design sprinklers (hydraulic
design area) for systems designed to
NFPA 13,13D, or 13R.
EEM
The Series LFlI Residential Pendent
and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
(TY2234) described herein must be

Installation
TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series
LFII Residential 4.9K Pendent and
Recessed Pendent 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 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained by applying a min-
imum-to-maximum torque of 7 to 14
lb-ft (9,5 to 19,0 N.m). Higher levels of
torque can distort the sprinkler Inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment
of the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for
insufficient adjustment in an Escutch-
eon Plate by under- or over- tightening
the sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of
the sprinkler fitting to suit.
Pendent Sprinklers
The Series LFII Residential Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions:
Step 1. Install pendent sprinklers in the
pendent position with the deflector par-
allel to the ceiling.
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
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Figure 3). With ref-
erence to Figure 1, apply the W-Type 6
Sprinkler Wrench to the wrench flats.
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
The Series LFII Residential Recessed
Pendent Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the following
instructions:
Step A. Install recessed pendent sprin-
klers in the pendent position with the
deflector parallel to the ceiling.

Care and
Maintenance
TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Series
LFII Residential 4.91K Pendent and
Recessed Pendent Sprinklers must be
maintained and serviced in accordance
with this section:
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system that
it controls, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection system must be
obtained from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
Absence of the outer piece of an
escutcheon, which is used to cover
a clearance hole, can delay sprinkler
operation in a fire situation.
The owner must assure that the sprin-
klers are not used for hanging 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.
Sprinklers which are found to be
leaking or exhibiting visible signs of
corrosion must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated, or other-
wise 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 to the sprinklers before,
during, and after installation. Sprin-
klers 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. See the 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

SENJU SPRINKLER CO., LTD. _____
Residential Lead Free Flat Concealed Sprinkler, bano
Pendent,
Model: RC-RES, K-Factor: 4.9, SIN: SS8464 Lj
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model RC-RES Residential Flat Concealed Sprinklers are automatic sprinklers of the compressed fusible solder type. They
are decorative and fast responding. The Cover Plate Assembly hides the Deflector, Heat Responsive Element etc., which is
concealed above the ceiling. The cover plate has a flat profile, and its diameter is extremely small (2-518 inch, 68mm). The
push-on and/or thread-on, thread-off design of the concealed cover plate assembly allows for easy installation of the cover plate.
Therefore, the Model RC-RES should be your first choice when aesthetics is the major consideration for ultimate appeal and
unbeatable performance is desired. The Model RC-RES is designed for residential occupancies and is perfect for use in homes,
hotels and other living quarters.
The Model RC-RES is to be used in wet pipe residential sprinkler systems for One- and Two- Family Dwellings and
Manufactured Homes per NFPA 1313; wet pipe residential sprinkler systems for Residential Occupancies up to and Including
Four Stories in Height per NFPA 13R; or, wet pipe sprinkler systems for the residential portions of any occupancies per NFPA 13.
The Model RC-RES has a 4.9 (70.6 LPM/bar112) K-factor that meets the required residential flow rates with minimal residual
pressure, which allows for smaller pipe sizes and water supply requirements.
For extended installation flexibility, the Model RC-RES provides 1/2 inch (12.8mm) vertical adjustment. This adjustment in
installation decreases the need for precise cutting of the pipe that drops to the sprinkler and allows for a perfect fit with a range of
pipe lengths.
The heat sensitivity and water distribution design of Model RC-RES allows for an increased chance of residents to escape or
evacuate in case of a fire. However, residential fire sprinkler systems are not a substitute for fire safety awareness or fire safety
construction required by building codes.
"Lead Free" is defined in the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act (S.3874) endorsed by AWWA's Water Utility Council, and
California Assembly Bill #1953 as having less than or equal to a weighted average of 0.25% lead in wetted surface of pipes,
plumbing fittings and fixtures.
WARNINGS
The Model RC-RES must be installed and maintained in accordance with the rules stated herein as well as in
compliance with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association regulations and the standards of
any other authorities having jurisdiction.
In the event of this condition, consult the authorities having jurisdiction for guidance and approval.
Failure to do so may impair the integrity of these devices.
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to provide a copy of this document to the owner or their
representative, and in turn, it is the obligation of the owner to provide a copy of this document to a succeeding owner.
The owner is responsible for maintaining their fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition. The
installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted with any related questions.

In case of fire, the solder component that holds together the Cover Plate and the Retainer melts. Then the Cover Plate is
released at once. As a result, the Deflector drops down to the intended position. Two Heat Collectors are exposed to fire, and
when sufficient heat from the fire is reached, internal components of the sprinkler fall apart. This leads to the water flow to be
distributed on the affected fire area. (Ref. Figure 2)

DESIGN CRITERIA
The herein stated rules for use and installation of Model RC-RES are provided by the manufacturer and must be strictly
implemented for safe and full results.
NOTES
Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems should only be designed and installed by individuals who are completely familiar
with automatic sprinkler system design, installation procedures, and techniques.
Several criteria may apply to the installation and usage of each sprinkler. Consequently, it is recommended that the
sprinkler system designer review and develop a working understanding of the complete list of criteria prior to initiating
the design of the sprinkler system.
Questions concerning sprinkler installation and usage criteria, which are not covered by the following instructions,
should be submitted to your contracted company. Include sketches and technical details, as appropriate.
In some instances, the requirements of this document may concern specifications which are more stringent, and which
fake precedence over those specified in NFPA 13, 13D, 13R, or by the authority having jurisdiction.
The Model RC-RES must not be used in applications where the air pressure above the ceiling is greater than that below.
Inspect all sprinklers after installation to ensure that both the gap between the cover plate, ceiling and the 6 slots in the
cup are open and free from any air flow impediment.
The spray from the sprinkler is distributed radially outward and downward from the sprinkler deflector. Consequently,
the sprinklers must be located such that there will be no blind spaces shielded from spray by partitions, room dividers,
overhangs or other parts of the dwelling structure.
The number of sprinklers within each compartment (as defined by NFPA 13, 13D, or 13R) must be kept as few as
possible. Do NOT use more sprinklers than necessary to cover a particular space.
Use only the Cover Plate provided for the Model RC-RES. The sprinkler must be secured in place by firmly fastening the
sprinkler system piping to the structure. If the sprinkler is not properly secured in position, reaction forces resulting
from sprinkler operation could alter its orientation and its water distribution pattern.
Obstruction to Water Distribution
Locations of sprinklers must follow the obstruction rules of NFPA 13, 13D and 13R for Residential Sprinklers.
General Service Conditions
The Model RC-RES must only be utilized in WET PIPE sprinkler systems.
Heat Source Criteria
Refer to NFPA 13D, 13R or 13 for the requirements relating to the prevention of possible activation of the Heat Responsive
Element of Model RC-RES, due to the exposure of a heat source other than an actual fire.

Precautionary Warnings for Corrosive Environments
Model RC-RES sprinklers should not be installed where they may be subjected to a corrosive environment including the
following:
Chlorine ion and Chloride environment.
Stress corrosion cracking may be caused by exposure to environments with Chlorine ion and Chloride. Exposure to this
environment may result in sprinklers operating under Non-Fire conditions or Not Operating when exposed to an actual fire.
Sprinkler system piping with Copper.
Sprinkler systems should be constructed in compliance with the applicable standards and the requirements for copper
piping when copper piping is used in the sprinkler system. (Reference standards NFPA 13, ASTM B813, B828, and CDA
(Copper Development Association) - Solder Joint)
Document No. U085 167 Date . Nov12 0/2019

All residual flux must be removed from the interior and exterior of the copper piping by thoroughly flushing before
installation of the Sprinkler -leads. Otherwise, residues of flux may cause corrosion and/or leakage in the sprinkler system.
Hydraulic Design Criteria
The minimum required sprinkler flow rates for systems designed to NFPA 13D or 13R are given in TABLE A as a function of
temperature rating and the maximum allowable coverage area. The sprinkler flow rate is the minimum required discharge from
the most hydraulically demanding sprinkler from each of the total number of "design sprinklers" as specified in NFPA 13D or
13R.
For systems designed to NFPA 13, the number of designed sprinklers is to be the four most hydraulically demanding sprinklers.
The minimum required discharge from each of the four sprinklers is to be the greater of the following:
The flow rates given in TABLE A for NFPA 13D and 13R as a function of temperature rating and maximum allowable
coverage area.
A minimum discharge of 0.1GPM/sq.ft. [4.07LPM/sq.m] over the "design area" comprised of the four most hydraulically
demanding sprinklers for the actual coverage area being protected by the four sprinklers.

For coverage area dimensions less than the above mentioned, it needs to use the minimum required flow for the
Next Higher Coverage Area listed.
Requirement is based on minimum flow in GPM (LPM) from each sprinkler. The associated residual pressures are
calculated using the nominal K-Factor. Refer to Hydraulic Design Criteria Section for details.
Sprinkler Spacing Criteria
The minimum spacing between sprinklers is 8 feet (2.4m). The maximum spacing between sprinklers cannot go beyond the
coverage area calculated by using the specific hydraulic factors. (Ref. TABLE A)

INSTALLATION
The Model RC-RES must be installed in accordance with the following instructions:
NOTES
Do not use any sprinklers which have been subjected to potential mechanical damage. Do not use any sprinklers which
show deformation or cracking in either the Sprinkler or the Protective Cap.
Prior to installation, sprinklers should be maintained in the original cartons and packaging until used to minimize the
potential for damage to the sprinklers that could cause improper operation or non-operation.
The Protective Cap must remain on the sprinkler during installation. After the installation is completed, the Protective
Cap must be removed to place the sprinkler in service.
Use a torque of 7 to 14 ftlbs (9.5 to 19.0 Nm) to achieve a 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint. If you exceed the recommended
maximum torque, this could result in damage to the sprinkler inlet, which may lead to leakage from the sprinkler.
Use only NR-H model wrench socket for installation of RC-RES sprinklers. Use of any other wrench or socket is
prohibited and may cause damage to the sprinkler.
In case of insufficient adjustment in Cover Plate installation, do not try to overly tighten, screw the sprinkler too loosely
or make any modification to the cover plate assembly. Readjust the sprinkler fitting for a better fit.
Do not rotate the Cap Remover RC to the left with force when placing the two hook arms into place. The installed
sprinkler may become loosened, which may cause water leakage.
Installing Procedure
Step I
The installation requirements for the sprinkler are as follows: to be installed only in the pendent position with the waterway
perpendicular to the ceiling. Install the sprinkler fitting so that the distance from the face of the fitting to the mounting surface
will be nominally 2 inches (50.8mm) as shown in Figure 3.
Step 2
With pipe thread sealant applied to the threads, hand tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting. Then tighten it with the
Socket NR-H or Ratchet (3/8" drive) & Socket NR-H Combination (Ref. Figure 4). The teeth of the Socket must fit perfectly
with the grooves on the Sprinkler for proper installation (Ref. Figure 4).
Step 3
If desired, the Protective Cap may also be used to locate the center of the clearance hole by gently pushing the ceiling
material against the center point of the Protective Cap. Before the installation of the ceiling, the sprinkler installation can be
started with a 2-3/8 inch (60mm) diameter clearance hole (Ref. Figure 3). Use the "Vertical Adjustment' indicator on the
Protective Cap to check for proper installation height (Ref. Figure 3).
Step 4
Use the Cap Remover RC to remove the Protective Cap (Ref. Figure 5), and then push or screw a Cover Plate Assembly on
the Cup of the Sprinkler by hand until its flange just has contact with the ceiling (Ref. Figure 6 and Figure 7). Stop tightening
the Cover Plate Assembly once the flange has contact with the ceiling. If the ceiling has been lifted from its normal position in
the process of tightening the Cover Plate Assembly, readjust the cover plate assembly as necessary. If the flange of the Cover
Plate Assembly cannot contact the ceiling sufficiently, readjust the sprinkler fitting as necessary. When properly installed,
there is a nominal 1/16 inch (1.6mm) air gap between the lip of the Cover Plate and the ceiling, as shown in Figure 6.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The following instructions must be implemented for the maintenance and service of the Model RC-RES
NOTES
Wet pipe sprinkler systems must be maintained at a minimum temperature of 40°F/4°C to prevent freezing and bursting
of the pipe and/or sprinklers.
Automatic sprinklers are not to be tested with a heat source. Operation of the heat responsive element can result.
Absence of a Cover Plate Assembly may delay the response time of the sprinkler in case of a fire.
Install the cover plate assembly properly, as shown in Figure 6. Improper installation of the cover plate assembly may
cause improper operation or non-operation.
If the ceiling is to be repainted after the installation of the Sprinkler, care must be exercised to ensure that the new paint
does not seal off any of the air gap.
Factory painted Cover Plates must not be repainted. They should be replaced, if necessary, by factory painted cover
plates. Non-factory applied paint may adversely delay or prevent sprinkler operation in case of a fire.
Do not pull the Cover Plate. Separation may result.
In preparation for maintenance of the fire protection system, permission to close the main control valve must be
obtained from the proper authorities, and all affected parties by this action, and must be informed before the
maintenance session can commence.
Do NOT enclose any sprinklers within drapes, curtains, or valances.
Do NOT hang anything from the sprinklers.
Do NOT clean the sprinklers with soap and/or water, detergents, ammonia, cleaning fluids, or other chemicals. Remove
dust, lint, cobwebs, cocoons, insects, and larvae by gently brushing with a feather duster or gently vacuuming with a
soft bristle (i.e., dusting) brush attachment.
Exercise suitable safety precautions in the use and storage of highly flammable materials. The rapid rate of fire
development and spread of these materials can reduce the ability of the sprinkler system to aid in the control of a fire
involving such hazards.
Leaking or corroded sprinklers must be replaced.
Automatic Sprinklers must be kept in a cool and dry place.
Automatic sprinklers must never be physically altered, such as painted, plated, or coated, once shipped from the
factory. If the sprinklers have been in any way modified, they must be replaced.
Great caution must be applied to prevent damage to the sprinklers at all stages - before, during, and after installation.
Damaged units because of dropping, hitting, over-tightening, or wrench slippage, must be replaced.
The Model RC-RES must only be replaced with pendent sprinklers which are listed for residential fire protection service
and which have the same nominal K-Factor, the same coverage area, and the same or lower flow ratings (as indicated
under TABLE A "Hydraulic Design Criteria").
When remodeling, such as by adding false beams or light fixtures or changing the location of compartment walls, first
verify that the new construction will not violate the installation requirements of the applicable standards of NFPA. Alter
the new construction and/or the sprinkler system to suit the requirements of this document and the applicable NFPA
regulations.
The owner is responsible for the maintenance of the sprinkler system, including inspection and testing of its
compliance with this document, as well as the standards of the National Fire Protection Association (e.g., NFPA 25),
and the regulations of any other authorities having jurisdiction. The owner should direct any questions regarding the
above rules and regulations to the installing contractors or the sprinkler manufacturer. It is recommended that
automatic sprinkler systems be inspected, tested, and maintained by a qualified Inspection Service in accordance with
NFPA 25.
