Industry-first UL Certified Tyco LFII Lead-Free Sprinkler uses unique polymeric material for residential fire protection

Johnson Controls has launched the Tyco Series LFII Residential 4.9 K-factor Lead-Free for 13D Sprinkler. The concealed pendent sprinkler is manufactured with a polymeric material that carries anti-heat and anti-corrosion properties, making it ideal for long-lasting dependable fire protection in residential occupancies. It is the first fire sprinkler to be certified to ANSI/UL 199, the Standard for Automatic Sprinklers for Fire-Protection Service, specific to the use of polymer-based materials, by UL.

‘The Tyco LFII Lead-Free Sprinkler marks a milestone in residential fire protection as the first innovation of its kind to be certified to ANSI/UL 199,’ said Kerry Bell, principal engineer at UL. ‘We were excited to work with Johnson Controls to evaluate this innovative residential sprinkler that includes polymeric construction materials. Authorities, contractors, specifiers, homeowners and others can be confident that this new sprinkler, bearing the UL Mark, has demonstrated compliance with the requirements of ANSI/UL 199.’

The Tyco LFII 4.9K Lead-Free for 13D Sprinkler is intended for use in wet pipe residential sprinkler systems for one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes per NFPA 13D. It is also certified to NSF 372 and NSF 61 to ensure compatibility with safe drinking water and lead-free plumbing requirements.

‘Our customers consistently demand value, innovation and improved performance. This lead-free sprinkler delivers performance beyond a brass sprinkler, reduces installation costs and meets stringent building codes. We are excited to offer this valuable addition to our product line up,’ said Anna Khanova, global VP product management, Johnson Controls.

The Tyco Series LFII 4.9K Lead-Free for 13D Concealed Pendent Sprinkler is available in both ordinary 155°F (68°C) and intermediate 200°F (93°C) temperature configurations. The sprinkler and cover plate assembly allows for adjustment up to 3/4in (19mm), which provides additional flexibility with residential installations.
