NOTICE
The

Spray Nozzle
described herein must
be installed and maintained in compli-
ance with this document and with the
applicable standards recognized by any
authorities having jurisdiction. Failure
to do so may impair the performance
of these devices.
The design of individual fixed water
spray systems for fire protection
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/ventilation
conditions. Because of these varia-
tions, the design of fixed water spray
systems must only be performed by
experienced designers who thoroughly
understand the limitations as well as
capabilities of such systems.
The Tunnel Operator is responsible for
maintaining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.
General
Description
The TYCO Model TN-17 Horizon-
tal Spray Nozzle having a 16.8 (K240)
K-factor is a specialized open nozzle
for use in tunnel fire protection deluge
systems, providing an improved alter-
native to traditional designs. With its
ability to provide extended coverage,
the Model TN-17 Nozzle allows for a
single pipe to run the length of a tunnel,
compared to traditional designs that
use multiple pipes in order to provide
sufficient coverage. The Model TN-17
Nozzle is an open nozzle designed to
be integrated into a deluge fire protec-
tion system.
The Model TN-17 Nozzle provides
protection of coverage areas up to
16 ft 4 in. x 32 ft 8 in. (5,0 m x 10,0
m) as compared to standard cover-
age sprinklers often used in tunnel fire
protection system designs having a
maximum coverage area of 10 ft x 10 ft
(3,0 m x 3,0 m).
