Safety: Tyco Fire Protection CC3 Combustible Concealed Space Sprinklers
Tyco Fire Protection Products announce two new fire sprinklers for use in horizontal combustible concealed spaces: the Model CC3 Combustible Concealed Space Sprinklers, available in 4.2 and 5.6 K-Factor listings (Model CC3 Sprinklers).
The Model CC3 Sprinklers are the newest addition to Tyco’s growing fire suppression portfolio. Both are specific application sprinklers listed with Underwriters Laboratories, providing installers with the dependability they’re familiar with from Tyco.
“These new fire sprinklers were manufactured to be the best available on the market today,” said Luke Connery, Global Product Manager-Commercial Sprinklers at Tyco Fire Protection Products. “They’re designed to be used with steel or CPVC piping in combustible concealed spaces up to 60 inches deep. We’re very excited to add these sprinklers to our portfolio, as we believe they make it easier and cheaper for our customers to provide superior fire protection for their clients.”
