resources on older sprinkler k-factors?
(OP)
Could anyone suggest where I might find the k-factors for older sprinklers? In this instance I am looking for more information on the Grinnell 1989 F-950 standard response 1/2" pendant.
Thx

I share your feelings about Tyco. Unfortunately we too had a terrible experience. One of our clients is an Electrical Generating Plant here in Panama. The system is a Wormald (bought out by Tyco) No parts available or tech support, responses now and again promising action but absolutely nothing comes of it. The system is less than five years old and has to be replaced. We believe Fire Protection Engineering's foundation is built on absolute ethical behaviour. We tried everything but they ignored us. It is awful to have to say this but other than going with another brand as our client had to, there doesn't seem any solution through Tyco.
In hopes this may save you a little time at least

I had my start with Wormald in Canada back in the day. Brings back some memories. As for Tyco, I deal with a company called National Fire Equipment when I need say a DV-1 or anything Tyco spec'd. There's a small markup of course but they keep it small to keep my business and they maintain a fair selection on hand. Expediency is more often than not the bottom line.
Best of luck to you in your endeavours
