Sprinkler Operation

The Sprinkler operating device is state of the art heat responsive frangible hook and strut supplied by a world leader in this innovative technology. The hook and strut which expands when exposed to heat. When rated temperature is reached, the hook shatters and water flows through the sprinkler and strikes deflector, forming a uniform water spray pattern to control or extinguish fire.

Care and Handling Jyco Sprinkler K16.8 UPRIGHT JY7126 Early Suppression Fast Response

Sprinklers must be handled with due care, they must be stored at ambient temperature for best results and in a separate space in order NOT to allow metal parts coming in contact with sprinkler or hook. Storage as well as any onward shipment is to be made in original packaging only.

Always store the sprinklers with protective sprinkler caps. Do not remove the protective sprinkler caps until the sprinklers are installed in the system, in order to protect sprinklers from mechanical damage. Sprinklers caps must be removed carefully without touching / damaging the bulb element, before placing the system in service

Sprinklers must be visually inspected carefully before installation. Sprinklers visibly damaged, dropped or exposed to temperature in excess of the maximum ambient temperature permitted, should never be installed.

Never install any hook and strut sprinkler if the hook is cracked or if there is a loss of strut from the frame. Sprinkler must be installed after the piping is in place to prevent mechanical damage.

Use Teflon Tape or soft thread sealent on male thread of the Sprinkler for the leak tight Sprinkler joint. Use proper wrench. The sprinkler must be hand tightened into the fitting. After hand tightening, use Sprinkler Wrench Model JP-L for wrench tightening into sprinkler fittings. A leak-tight 3/4 NPT/BSPT Sprinkler joint should be obtained by applying maximum torque of 19.0 Nm (14 lb-ft). Excessive tightening torque may distort the Sprinkler inlet and cause leakage

Sprinkler must never be painted, plated or coated after they leave factory.

The JYCO Sprinkler described herein must be installed and maintained in accordance with the latest edition of JYCO technical data, the latest standard of National Fire protection Association (NFPA) and CE or to the standard of any other authorities having jurisdiction.

The owner is solely responsible for maintaining their fire protection system and device in proper operating condition.

Exposure to ultraviolet or direct sunlight for extended period may cause the hook strut to fade. Colourless or faded coloured hook strut are not a problem, as long as the hook strut has not been affected. The loss of colour of the hook strut will not effect sprinkler performance, as long as the hook strut is intact and not damaged. The loss of colour may be an issue in identifying sprinkler temperature rating, but the temperature rating is still stamped on the sprinkler deflector.
