Operation
The glass bulb contains a fluid that
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.

Design Criteria
The TYCO Model WS Window
Sprinklers are UL and C-UL Listed and
NYC Approved (MEA 335-01-E) for
use as Specific Application Window
Sprinkler and as open sprinklers for
Outside use.
These sprinklers are also recognized by
Underwriters Laboratories of Canada
(ULC), and the Ontario Building Code
for use in the Province of Ontario,
Canada as providing a two-hour equivalency for a fire separation assembly
when installed in accordance with this
code.
Area of Use
When acceptable to the Authority
Having Jurisdiction and unless modified
by a local jurisdictional standard or
code mentioned previously, the TYCO
Model WS Window Sprinklers may be
used in either a sprinklered or unsprinklered building to protect non-operable
window openings that are part of a fire
separation provided:
in an interior fire separation, the
window sprinklers are installed on
both sides of the window in the fire
separation (Figure 3A-1),
in jurisdictions where exterior spatial
separation (that is, separation
from adjacent space) is defined as
protecting an adjacent building from
a fire in your building, window sprinklers are installed on the interior side
of the building (Figure 3A-2), or
in jurisdictions where exterior spatial
separation is defined as protecting
your building from a fire in an adjacent building (that is, exposure
protection), open window sprinklers
are installed on the exterior side of
the building (Figure 3A-3).
Glass Type
In all three cases cited below, each individual pane of the window assembly
must be at minimum 6 mm (1/4) thick.
Non-operable, heat-strengthened,
tempered, single-glazed (single pane)
Non-operable, heat-strengthened,
tempered, double-glazed (double
pane or insulated); or,
Non-operable, stronger glass window
assemblies.
Type of Window Frame/Mullion
Non-combustible Frame with a
standard EPDM rubber gasket seal
Vertical joints of glass panes must

Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Model WS Window
Sprinklers must be maintained and
serviced in accordance with the
following instructions.
NOTICE
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected fire protection
systems from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
Exercise care to avoid damage to
sprinklers before, during, and after
installation. Never paint, plate, coat,
or otherwise alter automatic sprinklers
after they leave the factory.
Replace sprinklers that:
were modified or over-heated.
were damaged by dropping, striking,
wrench twisting, wrench slippage, or
the like.

Installation
The TYCO Model WS Window
Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with the following instructions.
NOTICE
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).
Obtain a leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT
sprinkler joint by applying a minimumto-maximum torque of 7 to 14 ft.lbs.
(9,5 to 19,0 Nm). Higher levels of torque
