The TYCO 12 Sprinkler Cabinet is a metal enclosure with a hinged cover for on-site storage of an emergency supply of sprinklers and a sprinkler wrench. NFPA 13 requires a representative number of each sprinkler type used in the system to be stored on site in a cabinet, so operated or damaged sprinklers can be replaced immediately. This cabinet holds 12 1/2″ and 3/4″ NPT sprinklers. See the complete guide to sprinkler systems in Saudi Arabia.
In short
- Capacity: 12 — 1/2″ and 3/4″ NPT sprinklers.
- Heavy-gauge steel in red enamel, with knock-outs for sprinkler sizes.
- Weight: 1.81 kg.
- Installed at or near the system control valve.
How many spare sprinklers are needed?
Per Table A of the datasheet: under 300 sprinklers in the system → 6 spares; 300 – 1000 → 12; over 1000 → 24. The stock includes each type and temperature rating used in the system.
The cabinet must also contain a sprinkler wrench of the appropriate type for the stored sprinklers.

The critical point: the right stock
The cabinet alone is not enough: it must hold the required number of each type and temperature rating installed, and the right wrench. It must not be located above 38°C or in a corrosive atmosphere.
Installation steps
- Mount the cabinet on the wall through its two 3/16″ holes, or to the system riser with a strap hanger.
- Locate it at or near the system control valve, readily accessible.
- Open the knock-outs needed for the sprinkler sizes with a screwdriver from the top of the shelf.
- Stock sprinklers by the installed types and ratings and the quantity in Table A, with the wrench.
Common mistakes
- Stocking only one sprinkler type when the system has several types and ratings.
- Leaving out the sprinkler wrench.
- Placing the cabinet in a hot area or far from the control valve.
Inspection and maintenance
Per the datasheet, inspect the cabinet, wrench and stock at least quarterly: accessible location, no corrosive atmosphere or temperature above 38°C, enough of each type and rating, sprinklers in good condition, and the right wrench present.

FAQ
Are sprinklers and wrench included?
No, the cabinet is ordered on its own; sprinklers and wrench are ordered to suit the system.
Which size do I choose?
From the required number of spares (Table A) and their type: standard cabinets for 1/2″ and 3/4″ sprinklers, ESFR cabinets for larger ones.
How often is it inspected?
At least quarterly, per the datasheet.
