According to Tyco Fire Products, government officials in India seized approximately 1100 of sprinklers which were illegally imported from China.
Underwriters Laboratories is notifying consumers, distributors and property owners of chrome plated automatic fire sprinklers that bear a counterfeit UL Mark for the United States. Although marked with the word "TYCO", these sprinklers are not manufactured by Tyco Fire Products and have not been evaluated for safety by UL.
So far, these sprinklers have only been found in India and Asia.
The exact model is the Pendent Type Automatic Fire Sprinkler. On its deflector is a UL Mark which is UL in a circle, 155°F/68°C.
Legitimate UL Listed sprinklers manufactured by Tyco Fire Products are manufactured with a Job G5 glass bulb. There is also a date code molded into the frame. The Sprinkler Identification Number is stamped on the deflector. The identification number is TY followed by four digits 0 through 9. Sprinklers with the counterfeit UL Mark are manufactured without a date code or identification number. They are manufactured with a Job F5 glass bulb.
