Fire-Rated, Glass Ceramic for up to 2-Hour Assemblies when used with TYCO WS Specific Application Window Sprinklers Fire-Rating: Up to 120 Minutes FireLite Plus® WS is a nominal 5/16” (8 mm) thick laminated glazing material listed for use in doors, sidelites, transoms and borrowed lites. When acceptable to the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), FireLite Plus WS may be used in combination with TYCO Model WS Window Sprinklers as an alternative to fire rated assemblies requiring a 2-hour rating. Unlike tempered glass, using FireLite Plus WS glazing eliminates TYCO’s WS Special Application Sprinkler requirement for keeping combustible materials a minimum of 2” from the glass face (typically accomplished by incorporating a minimum 36” ponywall).

I and II) • Clear and wireless glass ceramic • ultraHD® Technology for improved surface quality, clarity and color Positive Pressure Tested • May be butt-glazed allowing longer spans of uninterrupted glass free of vertical frames • Protects from fire and impact on both sides of the glass • Installs into non-combustible frames with a standard EPDM rubber gasket seal • Withstands thermal shock • May be lightly sandblasted or etched on one side without affecting fire rating • May be insulated (see FireLite IGU fact sheet) • 5-year limited FireLite Plus warranty • Available in two surface grades: Premium and Standard DOCUMENTATION* AND USE TYCO Model WS Window Sprinklers are the first to be specifically listed to provide complete wetting and coverage for FireLite Plus WS glass for windows and glazing using closed sprinklers. As part of the sprinkler testing, the gas flow required to achieve the time/temperature relationship specified in ASTM E119 was established in a test furnace. A window assembly protected with the TYCO Model WS Window Sprinklers was then installed in the test furnace, and the same gas flow conditions were maintained for a two-hour test period. No cracking or visible damage to the window was permitted during the test period, even when a hose stream was directed at the window. The Model WS Window Sprinkler and FireLite Plus WS glazing can be used as interior protection of windows or glazing in a sprinklered or nonsprinklered building in accordance with Section 104 of the International Building Code (IBC) (“Alternate Materials, Design and Methods of Construction and Equipment”). TYCO Model WS Window Sprinkler and FireLite Plus WS glazing can be used as an open sprinkler for “Outside Sprinkler Protection against Exposure Fire”, using the design requirements of NFPA. *Important: For complete information, application, detail drawings and design criteria, please refer to the TYCO Model WS product information document ‘TFP 620’ which may be found at tyco-fire.com.
