COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Wet Chemical Agent - The extinguishing agent is a potassium carbonate, potassium acetate-based formulation designed for rapid lIame knockdown and foam securement of grease related fires. Ills available in plastic containers with instructions for wet chemical handling and usage. Agent Tank - The agent tank is installed in a stainless steel enclosure or wall bracket. The tank is deep drawn carbon steel finished in red enamel. Tanks are available in two sizes: 1.5 gallon (5.7 L) and 3.0 gallon (11.4 L). The tanks have a working pressure of 100 psi (6.9 bar), a test pressure of 300 psi (20.7 bar), and a minimum burst pressure of 600 psi (41.4 bar). The tank includes an adaptor/tube assembly. The adaptor is chrome-plated steel with a 1/4 in. NPT female gas inlet and a 3/8 in. NPT female agent outlet. The adaptor also contains a bursting disc seal which prevents the siphoning of agent up the pipe during extreme temperature variations. Regulated Release Mechanism - The regu- lated release mechanism is a spring.loaded, mechanical/pneumatic type capable of providing the expellant gas supply to one or two agent tanks, depending on the capacity of the gas cartridge used. 11 contains a facto- ry installed regulator deadset at 100 psi (6.9 bar) with an internal relief of approxi- mately 145 psi (10.0 bar). 11 has automatic actuation capabilities by a fusible link detec- tion system and remote manual actuation by a mechanical pull station. The regulated release mechanism contains a release assembly, regulator, expellant gas hose, and agent storage tank housed in a stainless steel enclosure with cover. The enclosure contains knock-outs for 1/2 in. conduit. The cover contains an opening for a visual status indicator. 11 is compatible with mectlanical gas shut-off devices; or, when equipped wilh a field or factory-installed switch, it is compatible with electric gas line or appliance shut-oH devices. Regulated Actuator Assembly - When more than two agent tanks are required, the regulated actualor is available 10 provide expellant gas for additionallanks. It is con- nected to the cartridge receiver outlet of the regulated release mechanism providing simultaneous agent discharge. It contains a regulated actuator deadset at 100 psi (6.9 bar) with an internal relief of approxi- mately 145 psi (10.0 bar).The regulated actu' ator assembly contains a regulated actuator, regulator, expellant gas hose, and agent tank housed in a stainless steel enclosure with cover. The enclosure contains knockouts to permit installation of the expellant gas line. Discharge Nozzles - Each discharge nozzle is tested and listed with the R-102 system for a specific application. Nozzle tips are stamped with the flow number designation (1/2, 1, 2, and 3). Each nozzle must have a metal or rubber blow-off cap to keep the noz- zle tip orifice free of cooking grease build-up. APPROVALS Applicable Standards: ULllisted under EX- 3470; ULC listed under CEX-747; meets requirements of NFPA 96 (Standard for the Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease-Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment); NFPA 17A (Standard on Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems).
