UN-CLOSEABLE OPENINGS
12 Ft
12 x 14 = 168 sq. ft. x 2 = 336 sq. ft. (Ceiling and floor)

16 x 12 = 192 sq. ft. x 2 = 384 sq. ft. (Front /back walls)
16 x 14 = 224 sq. ft. x 2 = 448 sq. ft. (Side walls)
Total area: 336 sq. ft. + 384 sq. ft. + 448 sq. ft. = 1168 sq. ft.
16 Ft
8 Ft Uncloseable Opening: 8 x 13 = 104 sq. ft.
% Uncloseable: 104 sq. ft. / 1168 sq. ft. = .0890 x 100 = 8.9 %

Additional Guidelines for Piping:

1. Branch from T1 to T2 and Branch from T1 to T3 must be balanced.
2. The branches from T2 to the Duct/Plenum (D/P) nozzles must be balanced.
3. The pipe must be balanced from T5 to the two (2) High-Overhead (S) nozzles.
4. The pipe must be balanced from T4 to the two (2) Total-Flooding (TF) nozzles.
5. The distance from T3 to T4 must be 1.2 times the distance of T3 to T5, not to exceed the
maximums indicated in the above table.
6. M aximum elevation of supply piping above cylinder outlet must not exceed 8 feet.
7. M aximum elevation of Duct/Plenum (D/P) nozzle above T2 must not exceed 2.6 feet.

OWNER’S MONTHLY INSPECTION
Table 5-2. Owner’s Monthly Inspection
Checkbox Procedure
Inspect all system components, agent distribution pipe, and conduit runs for physical damage and/or
displacement.
Inspect all nozzles to see if protective caps (if applicable) are in place. Check for possible
obstructions to the discharge of the dry chemical.
Inspect all detectors (Fusible-links and Thermo-bulbs) for contamination. If contamination is found,
contact an authorized Pre-Engineered Distributor for service.
Inspect each Cylinder and Valve Assembly. The pointer on the pressure gauge should be in the
“green” range. The cylinder should not show evidence of corrosion or damage.
Inspect manual pull stations are unobstructed and in clear view and labeled for intended use.
Inspect all tamper seals are intact and the system is in a ready condition.
Verify the inspection tag or certificate is in place and current.
A record of the monthly inspection is to be kept reflecting the date inspected, initials of the person
performing the inspection, and any corrections required.
If wall mounted, the XV/UCH Control System must be tightly bolted to the wall. If cylinder mounted,
the XV/UCH Control System must be tightly bolted to the SVA. The Cam/Flag on the XV/UCH Control
System indicator should point to the ‘Set’ position. The safety pin and seal wire on the local manual
release handle should be in place. Refer to Figure 5-1. If no Remote Manual Release is installed, the
path to the local manual release on the cylinder should be clear and unobstructed and within reach.
If any discrepancies are noted while making this inspection, DO NOT CONTINUE OPERATING
HAZARDOUS PROCESSES OR TURN ON PROTECTED EQUIPMENT. Immediately contact an authorized
Distributor for service and/or repair.
