IMPORTANT
Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
regulatory and health information.
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER
WARNING” that provides cautions
with respect to handling and instal-
lation of sprinkler systems and com-
ponents. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its compo-
nents and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

Style 65 One-Piece Flush Escutcheon
Style 401 Two-Piece Deep Escutcheon
1/2 Inch and 3/4 Inch NPT
General
Description
The TYCO Styles 65 and 401 Escutch-
eon Plates illustrated in Figures 1 and 2
are designed for use with pendent and
horizontal sidewall automatic sprin-
klers in re protection systems where
the piping is installed above a ceiling or
behind a wall. They are used to improve
the overall appearance of the installa-
tion by concealing the clearance holes
required for the connecting piping and
ttings to the sprinkler.
The Escutcheon Plates are available
in two styles: Style 65 ush one-piece
(non-adjustable), and Style 401 deep
two-piece (adjustable).
The ush one-piece (non-adjustable)
Style 65 Escutcheon Plates (Fig. 1) are
used where the position of the sprin-
kler “escutcheon plate seating surface”
(relative to the ceiling line or wall) can
be xed by adjusting the length of the
interconnecting piping.
The two-piece Style 401 Escutcheon
Plates (Ref. Figure 2) are used where
it is necessary to position the sprinkler
away from the ceiling/wall surface so
that spray will not be adversely affected
by protruding obstructions such as
light xtures and HVAC diffusers.
The adjustment provided by the Style
401 Escutcheon Plates reduces the
accuracy to which the length of the
xed pipe drops or horizontal pipe
runs to the sprinklers must be cut, and
it provides additional exibility in the
interconnecting pipe.
The separable, two-piece design of
the Style 401 allows installation of the
sprinklers and pressure testing of the
re protection system/evaluation of
leak tightness prior to installation of a
suspended ceiling or application of the
nish coating to a xed ceiling. They
also permit the removal of suspended
ceiling panels, for access to build-
ing service equipment, without having
to rst shut down the re protection
system and remove sprinklers.
NOTICE
The Style 65 and 401 Escutcheons
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 owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.

Installation
The TYCO Styles 65 and 401 Escutch-
eon Plates must be installed in accor-
dance with this section.
General Instructions
A leak-tight 1/2 in. NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 7
to 14 ft-lb and 10 to 20 ft-lb should be
sufcient for a 3/4 in. NPT sprinkler.
Higher levels of torque may distort the
sprinkler orice seat with consequent
leakage.
Do not attempt to make-up for insuf-
cient adjustment in an Escutcheon
Plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler tting to suit.
Style 65
The pipe connected to the sprinkler
tting must be cut so that the escutch-
eon plate seating surface is at the
proper nominal distance in front of the
wall or below the ceiling. Manufacturing
variations in the take-out of the ttings
as well as the make-in of the sprinklers
(as permitted by ANSI B1.20.1) may
require that trial cuts of the connecting
pipe be made.
Proceed with the assembly as follows:
Step 1. Insert the threaded end of the
sprinkler through the Escutcheon Plate.
Step 2. Apply pipe thread sealant
sparingly to the sprinkler threads
only. Use of a non-hardening type of
TEFLON based pipe thread sealant is
recommended.
Step 3. Hand tighten the sprinkler with
the attached Escutcheon Plate into the
sprinkler tting.
Step 4. Using the appropriate sprin-
kler wrench, tighten the sprinkler into
the tting.
Style 401
The pipe connected to the sprinkler
tting must be cut so that the escutch-
eon plate seating surface is at the
proper nominal distance in front of the
wall or below the ceiling.
Proceed with the assembly as follows:
Step 1. Separate the two pieces of
the Escutcheon Plate and screw the
cup onto the sprinkler until the plate
is engaged onto the last thread of the
sprinkler.
Step 2. Apply a brush-on pipe thread
sealant sparingly to the sprinkler
threads only. Use of a non-hardening
type of TEFLON based pipe thread
sealant is recommended.
Step 3. Hand tighten the sprinkler with
the attached inner plate into the sprin-
kler tting.
Step 4. Using the appropriate sprin-
kler wrench, tighten the sprinkler into
the tting.
Step 5. After a suspended ceiling has
been installed or the nish coat has
been applied to a wall or xed ceiling
(as appropriate), align the detents in
the skirt over those in the cup and
then slide the cup over the skirt until
it comes in contact with the mounting
surface. Do not push the skirt such that
it will lift a ceiling tile out of its normal
position.
Holding the skirt in contact with the
mounting surface, rotate the skirt
approximately 1/8-turn in relation to the
cup creating a friction t between the
skirt detents and the cup wall, to hold
the Escutcheon Plate rmly together.
