Who is Tyco and what does it make?
Tyco Fire Products is the Tyco brand of fire protection systems, with valves, sprinklers and components for water-based extinguishing installations. The valve range covers grooved-connection butterfly valves, check and alarm valves for wet systems, valves for dry systems and components for deluge and preaction systems. For the Romanian market we can quote from the Tyco range for sprinkler systems and indoor hydrants.
What sets the Tyco range apart is the complete coverage of the components of a sprinkler system: BFV series butterfly valves, available in grooved versions (BFV-300, 2″-12″, DN50-DN300); the nominal pressure and the connection type are confirmed on the model, from the Tyco Fire data sheet, plus the AV-1-300 alarm valve and the TD-2 test and drain valve for wet systems. For dry systems, the range includes the DPV-1 valve, with a single-clapper construction and external reset, without priming water. For sprinklers, the TY-B, TY-FRB, TY-FRL and TY-L series belong to the standard-coverage range, in several mounting orientations.
In the design and installation of extinguishing systems, the Tyco range fits where UL, FM or ULC certification of the valve or sprinkler is explicitly required by the ISU fire-safety permit or by the insurer. We recommend the brand for new sprinkler projects or for completing an existing system with compatible components.
