Its All About the TUBE

• Linear, pneumatic flame detection
• Bursts at 212F (100C)
• Tubing can be the detector the piping network
• Tubing is durable and flexible
• Tubing is not conductive or corrosive
• Good for harsh chemical environments

Direct System

• Effects of high air velocity may impact discharge
• Must be careful with locating tubing discharge
  is at tubing burst point
• Limited to 50 ft furthest point from cylinder
  system can have well over 200 ft of total tubing
• 1 lb / 3lb / 6lb / 12lb Clean Agent Assemblies
• 2.5lb and 5lb Dry Chemical Assemblies

Direct Low Pressure (DLP) System

• Tubing is used as a detector and delivery of
  agent from cylinder

• Valve is a X-over only to allow for connection of
  the tubing to cylinder

• 4 ports on this valve for gauge, P/S, Ball Valve
  and cylinder

Max 3.3 ft / layer

• Discharge time is limited due to the x-sectional
  area of the ball valve orifice.

• Can use one on cylinder and as many as needed on
  tubing network
• Used for
• Building alarm tie-in
• Power lock-out or shunt trip
• Fan/damper control
• Auxiliary controls
