Type D3 Protectospray Directional Spray Nozzles, Open, Medium Velocity General Description
The Type D3 Protectospray Nozzles are open (non-automatic) directional spray nozzles and they are designed for use in water spray fixed systems for fire protection applications. They are external deflector type nozzles that discharge a uniformly filled cone of medium velocity water droplets. The D3 Nozzles are effective in covering exposed vertical, horizontal, curved, and irregular shaped surfaces in a cooling spray to prevent excessive absorption of heat from an external fire and possible structural damage or spread of fire to the protected equipment. In some applications, depending on water design density requirements, the Type D3 Nozzles may also be used for fire control or extinguishment. The Type D3 Nozzles are available in a wide variety of orifice sizes and spray angles (included angle of discharge) to provide versatility in system design. Refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP890 for information on Blow-Off Plugs that can be used for applications where protection is required against insect infestation or accumulation of debris within the nozzle orifice. It is recommended that the end user be consulted with respect to the suitability of the materials of construction and finish for any given corrosive environment. The effects of ambient temperature, concentration of chemicals, and gas/chemical velocity, should be considered, at a minimum, along with the corrosive nature to which the sprinklers may be exposed. The Type D3 Protectospray Nozzle is a redesignation for the Gem Type D3.
WARNINGS The Type D3 Protectospray Nozzles 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 performance of these devices. The design of individual water spray fixed systems can vary considerably, depending on the characteristics and nature of the hazard, the basic purpose of the spraying system, the configuration of the hazard, and wind/draft conditions. Because of these variations as well as the wide range of available nozzle spray characteristics, the design of water spray fixed systems for fire protection must only be performed by experienced designers who thoroughly understand the limitations as well as capabilities of such systems. 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 questions.
IMPORTANT Always refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP700 for the INSTALLER WARNING that provides cautions with respect to handling and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and installation can permanently damage a sprinkler system or its components and cause the nozzle to fail to operate in a fire situation.

Design Criteria
Nozzle Placement. Where direct impingement of water spray onto all of the protected surface is required by the Authority having Jurisdiction, the nozzles are to be spaced and directed so that their spray patterns will completely cover the plane-of-protection with the minimum required average density; however, it is recommended that indoor nozzle spacing be 12 feet (3,7 m) or less and that outdoor nozzle spacing be 10 feet (3,0 m) or less. Where rundown or slippage is planned, e.g., exposure protection of vessels per NFPA 15, the above recommended indoor and outdoor spacings also apply. When used for protecting the surfaces of a vessel, for example, the nozzles are positioned normal to and approximately 2 feet (0,6 m) from the surface. This approach, in conjunction with a properly selected spray angle, will tend to make more effective use of the spray as well as help minimize the

may be used to install nozzles with 1/2 NPT connections. Higher levels of torque may distort the nozzle inlet and cause leakage or impairment of the nozzle.
Step 1. With pipe thread sealant applied to the pipe threads, hand tighten the nozzle into the nozzle fitting. Step 2. Tighten the nozzle into the nozzle fitting using only the W-Type 11 Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 3). With reference to Figure 1 the W-Type 11 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to the wrenching area.
SPRAY PROFILE
NOTE 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 all personnel who may be affected by this action must be notified.
Type D3 Protectospray Nozzles must never be painted, plated, coated or altered in any way after leaving the factory; otherwise, the spray performance may be impaired. Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the nozzles - before, during, and after installation. Nozzles damaged by dropping, striking, wrench twist/slippage, or the like, must be replaced. Frequent visual inspections are recommended to be initially performed for nozzles installed in potentially corrosive atmospheres to verify the integrity of the materials of construction and finish as they may be affected by the corrosive conditions present for a given installation. Thereafter, annual inspections per NFPA 25 are required. Water spray fixed systems fo fire proction service require regularly scheduled care and maintenance by trained personnel. In addition to inspecting nozzles for proper spray performance during water flow trip tests of the system, it is recommended that nozzles be periodically inspected for broken or missing parts (including blow-off plugs where applicable), loading/obstructions, or other evidence of impaired protection. The inspections should be scheduled weekly or as frequently as (Continued on Page 6)

2. Design data applies to a residual (flowing) pressure range at the nozzle inlet of 20 to 60 psi (1,4 to 4,1 bar). For pressures up to 175 psi (12,1 bar) consult Tyco Fire & Building Products Technical Services. Refer to the authority having jurisdiction for their minimum required residual pressures. 3. The shapes of the Design Spray Profiles remain essentially unchanged over the maximum Axial Distances shown in Tables C and D. 4. For axial distances of 2 feet (0,6 meters) and less and for nozzle spray angles of 65 to 140, the Design Spray Profile is the same as the nominal spray angle. 5. The maximum Axial Distances shown in Tables C and D are based on exposure protection.
Installation
Type D3 Protectospray Nozzles must be installed in accordance with the following instructions:
NOTE A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT nozzle joint should be obtained with a torque of 7 to 14 ft.lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). A maximum of 21 ft. lbs. (28,5 Nm) of torque
