ACTUATION DELAYASSEMBLY
Enclosed paint booths require 10 to 20 seconds of actua-
tion delay between detection/actuation and release of
the agent cylinders. The Kidde XV Control System Actua-
tion Delay (P/N 83-100035-001) provides an easy and el-
egant solution for this requirement.
UL Listed, the Actuation Delay attaches directly to the bot-
tom of the XV Control System. It fits within the profile of the
XV Control System, protecting it from being damaged by
tools and other equipment in the area of protection.
The Actuation Delay is made of rugged nickel plated forged
brass with a stainless steel actuation stem. This trouble-
free design has only one moving part, ensuring reliable, long-
term service.
The Actuation Delay is easy to install. No intermediary
hardware is needed. The System Nitrogen Cartridge
(PIN 87-120043-001) of the XV Control System feeds di-
rectly into the Actuation Delay. After the proper time, the
outlet of the Actuation Delay then feeds directly into the
System Valve Actuators (SVAs, PIN 87-120042-001) on the
agent cylinders.
The Actuation Delay is designed to complement the
XV Control System and agent cylinders, creating a clean,
elegant and easy-to-install system.

4-4.1.3 ACTUATION
The next step in the installation process is deciding what type of actuation
to use. The XV Control System offers the use of mechanical, electrical or
a combination of mechanical and electrical actuation. Mechanical actuation
utilizes detectors (fusible, KGR and/or KGS) to detect heat, whereas
electrical actuation utilizes heat detectors for detection. Mechanical and
electrical actuation can be combined together when configured using a UL
Listed fire control panel, such as the Kidde ScorpioTM. Figure 4-15
illustrates the steps to follow when deciding what type of actuation to use.

A WARNING
Use of a crimp tool besides P/N 253538 can cause malfunction and/or
unwanted discharge of the system.
Note: In order to ensure the crimp sleeve is secure, the cable must
always be looped so that there are two lengths of cable inside the
Crimp Sleeve before crimping. Cable must not be spliced anywhere
along its length.
S. Place the Crimp Tool on the end of the sleeve. Ensure the flat of the
sleeve rests in the saddle of the Crimp Tool jaw. Secure the sleeve in
the tool carefully to ensure the sleeve does not shift in the saddle
before pressing.
Squeeze the handles of the Crimp Tool until the tool releases itself.
The tooth of the jaw is pressing on the wall of the sleeve without
cracking the malleable copper. The first crimp is complete.
Remove the crimp from the tool.
Put the Crimp Tool onto the other end of the sleeve. The sleeve shall
be 1800 turned in the tool from the first crimp.
Note: This is pressing the loop end of the sleeve (opposite that of the first
press).
Squeeze the handles of the Crimp Tool until the tool releases itself.
The tooth of the jaw is pressing on the wall of the sleeve without
cracking the malleable copper. The second crimp is complete.
Remove the crimp from the tool.

Cut the loop off of the crimped cable assembly. Cut any loose ends
off as close to the Crimp Sleeve as possible.
Pull the ends of the crimped cable back through until the end of the
cable seats inside the central chamber of the ratchet wheel.
By hand, turn the wheel until the cable wraps around the spool of the
ratchet. The cable line is now ready to be set.
If the line is fully cabled, the detection line may be set.
Note: If using Detection Line 2, Knockout 4, the cable must go around the
pulley wheel before going into the cable port of the ratchet wheel.
When tightening the cable around the spool, it is important that the
cable be seated in the bottom of the groove on the pulley wheel.
The cable may tend to wrap itself around other components in the
XV Control System. Use caution in tightening the cable to ensure the
proper path or a cable jam could occur resulting in the malfunction of the
system.
Use care when tightening the cable. Tighten cable until the detection arm
CAUTION makes contact with the beam stop. Do not overtighten.

4-4.1.5 ATTACHING MICROSWITCH ES, P/N 87-120039-001
When setting the Cam/Flag, make sure the trigger pin turns under the
A microswitch paddle(s) and pushes up to set the microswitch. If the trigger pin
is "above" or between the paddle and the mcroswitch, the microswitch will not CAUTION change position upon actuation of the XV Control System which could result in
system malfunction.
4-4.1.5.1 High Mounted Microswitch
The High Mounted Microswitch mounts with the paddle(s) facing up into
the Cam/Flag. When in the 'Set' position, the Cam/Flag pushes down on
the paddle(s) of the microswitch. When the Cam/Flag is released, the
microswitch(es) release and change position (see Figure 4-26 for wiring
diagram, and Figure 4-23 for mounting).
The microswitches are best mounted when the system is in the 'Released'
position. Two pairs of #4 screws are included with each microswitch kit:
5/8-inch long and 1-inch long x 3/32-inch Allen Key.
If mounting a single switch, use the 5/8-inch screws. If mounting two
switches, use the 1-inch long screws.
After mounting the microswitch, turn the Cam/Flag to the 'Set' position to
ensure the paddles move far enough down to change the phase of the
microswitch. Use the included pigtail assembly to connect the microswitch
to the circuit being monitored.
Note: It is recommended that the pigtails be threaded into the port before
attempting to plug it onto the microswitch contacts. All splices and
connections should be made in a separate approved electrical box
connected by EMT or other approved conduit. See NFPA 70 and 72
for proper wiring guidelines.

released, the microswitch(es) release and change position. See
Figure 4-26 for wiring diagram. See Figure 4-24 for mounting information.
The microswitches should be mounted when the system is in the 'Released'
position. Two pairs of #4 screws are included with each microswitch kit:
5/8-inch long and 1-inch long x 3/32-inch Allen Key.
If mounting a single microswitch, use the 5/8-inch screws. If mounting two
microswitches, use the 1-inch long screws.
After mounting the microswitch, turn the Cam/Flag to the 'Set' position to
ensure the paddles move far enough down to change the position of the

4-4.1.7 MOUNTING SOLENOID, P/N 83-100034-001
The Solenoid can be used in conjunction with mechanical detection or if
mechanical detection or a Remote Manual Release is not needed. Red lockout
screws are mounted in the control system.
The Solenoid includes an attached mounting bracket. Included in the hardware kit
are two Allen screws.
The Solenoid operates on 24 Vdc only. Connection to a higher voltage can result
CAUTION in non-operation, or burning out of the coil.
Work on the Solenoid should never take place while the system is in the Set'
and ready position. The Solenoid operates directly on the latch. Ensure that the
CAUTION System Nitrogen Cartridge is removed and the Cam/Flag assembly is released
or locked out with the Keeper Pin (P/N 60-9197108-000).
Using a 9/64-inch Allen key, position the Solenoid behind the High-
Pressure Nitrogen Tubing, aligning the mounting bracket with the
mounting screw holes on the actuator mounting pad (see
Figure 4-28).
Secure the Solenoid and bracket assembly to the XV Control System
enclosure with the enclosed 9/64-inch Allen screws.
Dress the wires from the Solenoid down along in front of the high
mount microswitch mounting pad and out through Knockout 1 or
Knockout 2 through an approved conduit and into an approved
electrical box.
Note: Wiring of the Solenoid must be done according to NFPA 72, National
Fire Alarm Code and NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.
Wiring the Solenoid through a Microswitch is required. The
releasing loop should be wired through the common and N.C.
(normally closed) contacts. Releasing the XV Control System opens
the contact and stops the releasing current.

1-3 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE KIDDE IND SYSTEM
The Kidde IND System is a dry chemical fire suppression system with two types of agent. The
system is capable of encompassing a wide variety of application requirements.
The system utilizes stored pressure agent cylinders. Stored pressure cylinders:
Remain free of contamination
Reduce the packing of the agent
Provide a smooth flow throughout the discharge
The cylinders are powder-coated, welded mild-steel shell conforming to DOT 4BW or 4BA
construction. The valve is forged brass with chrome-nickel plating. The plating and cylinder
coating help to make the assemblies corrosion resistant.
P/N 220423 1-1 January 2007
'General Information
The system can be activated mechanically from manual release, thermo-bulb links, and fusible
links.
The system can be activated electrically, using a tested and listed 24 Vdc control panel. Both
automatic detection devices and manual release can be used on control panels.
Cylinders are actuated from stored high-pressure nitrogen. Automatic and manual actuation
are available for the Kidde IND System.
Other actuations are available, such as:
Mechanical gas valve closure
Dry contacts for annunciation and electrical shutdown
1-4 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Kidde IND Dry Chemical System is a fixed dry chemical system consisting of a supply of
dry chemical stored in one or more Cylinder and Valve Assembly. Each cylinder is pressure
activated by a System Valve Actuator.
The system can be actuated either automatically and/or manually, using mechanical, electrical,

General Information
1-6 APPLICATIONS
There are two general types of applications for dry chemical systems: Total-Flood and
Local- Application. In addition, the Kidde IND System is UL Listed for protection of Industrial
'Open-Front Spray Paint Booths.
1-6.1 Total-Flooding
Total-Flood refers to a volumetric area that is completely enclosed. The Kidde IND System is
UL Listed and FM approved with uncloseable opening(s) up to 5% of the total area of the walls,
floor, and ceiling.
In total-flooding, a predetermined amount of dry chemical is discharged through fixed piping
and nozzles into an enclosed space or enclosure around the hazard. Total-flooding is applicable
only when the hazard is totally enclosed or when all openings surrounding a hazard can be
closed automatically when the system is discharged. Total-flooding can be used only where no
re-ignition is anticipated. System is listed up to 5% of the hazard having uncloseable openings.
See Chapter 3 for total-flood design parameters.
Note: Dry Chemical Systems do not inert the atmosphere of a total-flood application. They
are affective during discharge.
1-6.2 Local-Application
Local-Application refers to areas that are not enclosed.
In a local-application system, the nozzles are arranged to discharge directly into the fire. Local-
application is practical in those situations where the hazard can be isolated from other hazards
so that fire will not spread beyond the area protected, and where the entire hazard can be
protected. The principal use of local-application systems is to protect open tanks of flammable
liquids. Local-application is ineffective unless extinguishment can be immediate and there are
no re-ignition sources.
See Chapter 3 for local-application design parameters.
1-6.3 Industrial Open-Front Spray Paint Booth
UL considers the Industrial Open-Front Spray Paint Booth a total-flood type of application, but
enforces a specific test standard for that application. The design parameters included in
"Industrial Open-Front Spray Paint Booth" on page 5 were arrived at by testing to this
standard.
An Open-Front Spray Paint Booth has no doors on the front of the booth. During painting
operations, the front remains open. A properly designed ventilation system will prevent
overspray from escaping out of the booth.
The UL 1254 standard requires that the open-front be "screened" while the work area is being
flooded. In addition, all parts of the ventilation system (plenum and duct) are also protected.
Both ABC and BC dry chemicals are permitted in the work area and plenum of an Open-Front
Spray Paint Booth. Only BC dry chemical is used in the duct.
See Chapter 3 for open-front spray paint booth parameters.
P/N 220423 1-5 January 2007
Geneal Information
1-7 APPLICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DRY CHEMICAL SYSTEMS
"Multipurpose" (ABC) agent is used for areas where some sort of "ordinary combustibles," such
as wood and paper are present. One example is a furniture factory in which the wood furniture
is being used. Since wood is a class "A" combustible, the Open-Front Spray Booth in which the
furniture is being finished would have ABC dry chemical protection for the work area and
plenum.
"Regular Dry Chemical" (BC) agent is used for areas where there are no "ordinary
combustibles." One example is a dip tank in which metal parts are being coated. While in
process, the coating is combustible or flammable. The most affective agent is BC, for fast flame
knockdown.
Other applications include, but not limited to:
Open-Front Paint Spray Booths
Spill Areas
Hazardous Storage Buildings
Dip Tanks
Electrical Motors
Pumps
Switchgear Rooms
Flammable Liquid Storage Facilities
The dry chemicals used in the Kidde IND Dry Chemical System are stable at both low and high
temperatures. Various additives are mixed with the base materials to improve their storage,
flow, and water-repellency characteristics. The upper storage temperature limit for the system
is 120°F (490C). The lower temperature limit is -40°F (-400C).
Upon system alarm notification, all personnel must evacuate the protected
space. Failure to do so may result in temporary respiratory difficulties, WARNING disorientation, and/or personal injury.
1-7.1 Extinguishing Properties
When introduced into the combustion zone, dry chemical causes almost immediate flame
suppression. Smothering, cooling and radiation shielding contribute to the extinguishing
efficiency of dry chemical, but the principal mechanism for the flame extinguishment is the
chemical chain-breaking properties of the dry chemicals.
When ABC dry chemical is discharged, the decomposed monoammonium phosphate leaves a
sticky residue. This residue seals oxygen from the burning material, thus providing fire
suppression and inhibiting re-ignition.
January 2007 1-6 P/N 220423
General Information
1-7.2 Limitations of Dry Chemicals
Dry chemicals do not inert or secure after discharge is complete. If securement is required,
either an extended discharge is required, or a different choice of agents, or both, is necessary.
Dry Chemical system protection is not recommended, however, for delicate electrical
equipment, such as:
Telephone switchboards
Electronic computers
Such equipment is subject to damage by dry chemical deposit and, because of the insulating
properties of the dry chemical, may require excessive cleaning to restore operation.
1-8 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INFORMATION SYSTEM (HMISSM)
The HMIS rating for regular (BC, sodium bicarbonate base), and multi-purpose (ABC,
monoammonium phosphate base) dry chemical is as follows:
Health (H) = 1
Flammability (F) = 0
Reactivity (R) = 0
Dry chemical fire extinguishing agents are considered nontoxic, but are
classified as a nuisance dust irritant, and may cause temporary irritation to the CAUTION eyes, skin, or respiratory system. Avoid unnecessary exposure.
Refer to http://www.kiddefiresystems.com web site for latest MSDS information.
1-9 CLEAN-UP
After discharge, the dry chemical should be removed from any valuable equipment to prevent
a possible reaction between materials in the presence of moisture. Personnel in contact with
the agent should remove the dry chemical from their skin with tap water.

2-1 FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The Kidde® IND T" Dry Chemical Fire Suppression System consists of the following major
components:
Suppression (Agent storage cylinders distribution piping, nozzles, and detection devices
(mechanical and electrical)
Controls
Auxiliary Components
Cylinder and Valve Assembly
The IND Dry Chemical Fire Suppression System utilizes six sizes of cylinders. The cylinders
consist of a factory-filled dry chemical agent and valve assembly. The cylinders conform to
DOT specification 4BW-4BA and NFPA standards.
Distribution Piping
The distribution piping (not supplied by Kidde) is designed to distribute the dry chemical
agent to the hazard areas. In the Kidde IND pre-engineered system, pipe sizes, minimum
and maximum pipe lengths and number of pipe fittings are predetermined. See Chapter 3
for more details.
Nozzles
There are five types of nozzles for the IND Dry Chemical Fire Suppression System. Each
type of nozzle has been designed and tested for specific applications and areas of coverage.
The nozzles are:
Local-Application (low overhead, high overhead, and tankside)
Total-Flooding
Duct/Plenum
Detection Devices
There are two methods of detection that can be employed in the system: mechanical or
electrical.
Mechanical detection uses fusible-link or thermo-bulb link detectors to provide reliable
performance. The detectors are designed to separate at a specific temperature and release
tension on the detection cable which causes the release mechanism to activate. Fusible-
link detectors are available in four temperature ratings, and the thermo-bulb detectors are
available in six temperature ratings.
Electrical detection uses heat detectors that are equipped with self-restoring, normally-
open contacts which close when a predetermined temperature is reached. Heat detectors
are available in six set points.
P/N 220423 2-1 January 2007

CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM DESIGN
3-1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter introduces the designer and installer to the design process. It outlines the process,
introduces the parameters imposed on design by system hardware, as well as those mandated
by performance considerations.
As the designer becomes familiar with this material, they should remember that analysis and
design is a careful, step-by-step process. All steps must be followed, none can be omitted, and
all unique aspects of a given application must be taken into account if the resulting fire-
suppression system is to deliver the desired results.
Systems shall be designed and implemented according to the following:
NFPA Standard 17, "Standard for Dry Chemical Systems",
NFPA Standard 33, "Standard for Spray Applications Using Flammable or Combustible
Material",
Other applicable NFPA standards as required for a particular application and design,
including, but not limited to; NFPA 70 (NEC) and NFPA 72, Fire Alarm Standard.
This Design, Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual.
Any other standards enforced by a local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Configurations in this chapter are tested and listed to Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standard
1254, and FM Approved. Open-Face Spray Booth configurations (Section 3-4.2) are tested and
listed to UL Standard 1254.
3-2 APPLICATION TYPES
There are relatively few generic types of Dry Chemical fire suppression system applications.
They vary from each other in terms of the nature, NFPA Class designation, and physical layout
of the hazard, the flammable materials involved, whether or not the area to be protected is
enclosed, whether there are associated ducts, plenums, and/or forced ventilation systems,
whether there is auxiliary equipment which must be controlled as part of any fire-suppression
action, and in other ways. The main application types are:
Total-Flooding Systems
Open-Face Spray-Booth Systems
Local-Application Systems
Combination Systems
P/N 220423 3-1 January 2007
System Design
3-2.1 Total-Flooding Systems
Total-Flood refers to a volumetric area that is completely enclosed.
In total-flooding, a predetermined amount of dry chemical is discharged through fixed piping
and nozzles into an enclosed space or enclosure around the hazard. Total-flooding is applicable
only when the hazard is totally enclosed or when all openings surrounding a hazard can be
closed automatically when the system is discharged. Total-flooding can be used only where no
re-ignition is anticipated. System is listed up to 5% of the hazard having uncloseable openings.
See Section 3-4.1 for total-flood design parameters.
Note: Dry Chemical Systems do not inert the atmosphere of a total-flood application. They
are affective during discharge.
3-2.2 Local-Application Systems (For Indoor Use Only)
Local-Application refers to areas that are not enclosed.
In a local-application system, the nozzles are arranged to discharge directly into the fire. Local-
application is practical in those situations where the hazard can be isolated from other hazards
so that fire will not spread beyond the area protected, and where the entire hazard can be
protected. The principal use of local-application systems is to protect open tanks of flammable
liquids. Local-application is ineffective unless extinguishment can be immediate and there are
no re-ignition sources.
See Section 3-4.3 for local-application design parameters.
1-2.3 Open-Face Spray Booth Systems
UL considers the Industrial Open-Front Spray Paint Booth a total-flood type of application, but
enforces a specific test standard for that application. The design parameters included in "Open-
Face Spray Booths (Only UL Listed)" on page 11 were arrived at by testing to this standard.
An Open-Front Spray Paint Booth has no doors on the front of the booth. During painting
operations, the front remains open. A properly designed ventilation system will prevent
overspray from escaping out of the booth.
The UL 1254 standard requires that the open-front be "screened" while the work area is being
flooded. In addition, all parts of the ventilation system (plenum and duct) are also protected.
Both ABC and BC dry chemicals are permitted in the work area and plenum of an Open-Front
Spray Paint Booth. Only BC dry chemical is used in the duct.
See Paragraph 3-4 and Paragraph 3-5 for complete design parameters.
Note: Dry chemical systems for vehicle spray booths are covered in a separate manual,
P/N 83-100036-001.

System Design
3-2.4 Combination Systems
Some applications combine features of total-flooding and local-application. For example, an oil-
quenching system with an associated conveyor belt might require both forms of coverage in
order to control combustion at the surface of the quenching bath (local- application), and along
the length of the conveyor system (total-flooding). In the case of spray booths which vary
widely in design, attention must be paid both to the requirements of the booth itself, as well
as to associated ductwork or plenums. Sometimes the requirements of the booth may differ
from the needs of the associated Duct/Plenum(s), and the analysis-design process must take
this into account. Each segment of the combination system uses separate system cylinders,
nozzles and distribution piping.
3-3 DESIGN PROCEDURE
3-3.1 General Design Procedure
Analysis and design should be approached as a methodical process, and performed step by
step. Only when all the steps are followed is the resulting system likely to perform as desired.
If any step is omitted, it is probable that the system will not function as well as it should. The
steps in the analysis and design process are:
Hazard analysis
Suppression-system selection
Nozzle selection, number and location
Tankage, (Number, size, and location of cylinders)
Detector selection
Piping layout
Auxiliary requirements
3-3.1.1 HAZARD ANALYSIS
Determine the NFPA Class and severity of the hazard. Analysis also includes:
Determining the physical layout of the hazard,
Manner and speed with which the fire might propagate, and the
Likelihood of its spreading into adjacent areas.
The classification of flammable liquids can be found in NFPA 30: "Flammable and Combustible
Liquid Code."
Flammable liquid characteristics can be obtained from sources of reference such as safety data
sheets and NFPA 325M: "Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, and Volatile
Solids."
The severity of the fire hazard generally relates to the possibility of explosive conditions
created by the flammable materials within the confines of the protected area. This danger can
usually be mitigated by safeguards such as:
Adequate ventilation,
Explosion-proof wiring and fixtures, and
Product containerization.
With dry chemicals, it is important to remember that there is no inerting of the
CAUTION protected space following fire extinguishment.
P/N 220423 3-3 January 2007
System Design
3-3.1.2 SUPPRESSION-SYSTEM SELECTION
Determine whether total-flooding or local-application, or both are required. Total-flooding
systems are used if there is an enclosure around the hazard. Local-application techniques are
used in situations where the hazard is unenclosed, but isolated from other hazards and can be
protected by a Dry Chemical discharge directed at it.
3-3.1.3 NOZZLE SELECTION AND LOCATION
Select the number and type(s) of nozzle(s) needed and locate them so that the entire hazard
is covered. Use the coverage/distribution specifications for each nozzle type to determine the
number of discharge nozzles required to deliver the necessary quantity of dry chemical given
nozzle placement appropriate to the hazard. The nozzle types are:
Total- flooding nozzles
High or low overhead nozzles for local-application
Tankside nozzles for local-application
Duct/Plenum (DIP) nozzles for use in the exhaust ducts and plenums
3-3.1.4 TANKAGE DETERMINATION (NUMBER, SIZE, AND LOCATION OF CYLINDER(S))
Determine the number of nozzles required, whether additional agent or nozzles may be
needed, and select the tankage which will supply the needed amounts dry chemical. After
determining the quantity and types of dry chemical needed to control the hazard itself,
determine whether any special conditions necessitate additional dry chemical quantities and/or
nozzles. For example, it may be necessary to adjust the agent discharge rate in order to offset
the effects of ventilation, or it may be necessary to screen openings in an enclosure to prevent
dry chemical leakage through those openings. Also, depending upon the criticality of the
application and/or the potential for re-ignition, it may be necessary to provide a connected
reserve supply of dry chemical.
3-3.1.5 DETECTOR SELECTION
Detector selection will depend on the response speed required, the probable heat level and rate
of spread of the fire. The detectors sense the heat energy released by the combustion of fuel
and oxygen. Upon detection of a fire, the detection system sends a signal to the system control
head(s) which initiates the dry chemical discharge. The most commonly used detectors are
the:
Fixed-temperature thermo-bulb or fusible link
Fixed-temperature rate-compensated thermostat
3-3.1.6 PIPING LAYOUT - BALANCED PIPING
Dry Chemical piping is balanced within ± 10% with the exception of open-front spray booths.
Careful piping layout assures that the agent reaches the distribution nozzles appropriately, and
that piping parameters are not exceeded. These parameters involve pipe lengths, the number
of elbows, and other factors such as the allowable distances (equivalent/feet) from Cylinder
and Valve Assembly. These parameters are discussed in detail in the design examples
contained in the sections on application types.

System Design
3-3.1.6.1 Equivalent Length (Only UL Listed)
For the purposes of pressure drop calculations, it is convenient to replace a fitting with a
section of straight pipeline. The length of the substituted piece of pipe is chosen so that the
pressure drop across it equals the pressure loss through the fitting it replaced. In this sense,
each type of fitting is equivalent to a certain length of straight pipeline, and each fitting is
assigned an "equivalent length." Substitutions of this type allow each point in the distribution
system to be described by two numbers - one number being the actual linear length of pipe to
that point, and the second number being the total equivalent length of pipe to that point, taking
fittings into account.
The main supply line, the sub-supply lines. (four-nozzle cylinders), and the nozzle branch lines
are each rated for a maximum pipe length and a maximum equivalent pipe length.

3-3.1.6.2 Flow Division
When the flow of a two-phase fluid changes in direction, such as at an elbow, the flow change
can cause a separation of the nitrogen gas and the Dry Chemical powder. In order to ensure
the proper flow division of dry chemical at each tee, certain minimum pipe lengths must be
observed when approaching a tee following a change in flow direction. These minimum pipe
lengths are shown in Figure 3-1.
Note: These minimum pipe lengths also apply to local-application systems.

Material for Pipe and Fittings
All piping must be Schedule 40, hot-dipped-galvanized steel pipe, and all fittings must be, at
a minimum, standard weight (150-lb. class). Examples of acceptable fitting materials include
hot-dipped-galvanized malleable iron, ductile iron, or steel. Couplings and unions may be used
where necessary, and reducing bushings or reducing tees can be used for changes in pipe
diameter.
Note: Black steel pipe and fittings can be used in relatively noncorrosive atmospheres.
AUXILIARY REQUIREMENTS
Controls are required to turn off forced-draft ventilation systems, fuel (or combustible-liquid)
pumps, conveyers, and so on.

3-4 SYSTEM DESIGN: SUPPRESSION
3-4.1 Total-Flooding Systems
Total-flooding systems are used when there is an enclosure around the protected equipment
or material. Total-flooding systems are designed to fill the enclosure with a concentration of
Dry Chemical sufficient to extinguish a fire in the combustibles involved. All ventilation must
be shut-down at the time of agent discharge and, if possible, all openings must be closed.
Discharge of the Dry Chemical is through fixed, mounted nozzles connected to one or more
cylinders.
Regular, BC (sodium-bicarbonate base) Dry Chemical is used to protect flammable or
combustible liquid total-flooding hazards. Multi-purpose, ABC (monoammoni um- phosphate
base) dry chemical is used for total-flooding applications involving ordinary combustibles
(Class A) and flammable or combustible liquids.
3-4.1.1 COVERAGE
The protected space is divided into modules. For applications with ceiling heights up to and
including 12 feet, the maximum surface area coverage for each nozzle is 112.5 square feet
subject to a longest side for rectangular areas not to exceed 15 feet. The maximum distance
from the ceiling to the nozzle tip is 4.5 inches.
The maximum area and volume coverages are shown in Figure 3-3 and in Table 3-2. Each
nozzle should be centered in its protected volume segment. For applications with ceiling
heights from 12 feet up to 20 feet, the maximum volume is 1350 cubic feet subject to a longest
side for rectangular areas not to exceed 15 feet.

3-4.2 Open-Face Spray Booths (Only UL Listed)
Open-face spray booths are a unique hazard type for pre-engineered dry chemical systems. In
response to the need for fire protection for this hazard Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has
developed a specific test protocol within the UL 1254 (Pre-engineered Dry Chemical
Extinguishing System Units) Standard. The system hardware and design included in this
section meets the UL requirements for protection of open-face spray-booth applications. This
design also meets the requirements of NFPA 17.
3-4.2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
An open-face spray booth is an enclosure with one wall open (typically the front face) in which
parts and equipment are sprayed with possible flammable or combustible material (i.e. paints,
finishes, lacquers, etc.). When in operation, the booth is continually ventilated to remove the
flammable vapors that are generated during spraying operations.
A typical open-face spray booth is usually divided into two sections by a large bank of filters
that extends from the floor to the ceiling. The filters collect the over-spray of paint or other
materials, and remove suspended droplets from the mixture of air and flammable vapors being
exhausted.
The two sections of the spray booth are called the work area and the plenum. The work area
is typically the larger of the two sections, and is the place where the parts and equipment are
sprayed. The plenum is the space into which the exhaust gases flow after passage through the
filter bank.
The vapors are exhausted from the spray booth by a forced ventilation system connected to
the plenum by ductwork. The exhaust gases eventually discharge to atmosphere. The spray
booth, shown in Figure 3-8 has an open-front face.
Figure 3-6. Open-Face Spray Booth
P/N 220423 3-11 January 2007
System Design
NFPA 33, standard for spray application using flammable and combustible
materials, classifies the interior sections of paint spray booths, and certain areas
adjacent to booth openings, as Class-1 or Class-11, Division-2 locations. Dry
chemical system electrical components, such as thermostats, located within these
CAUTION areas shall be rated for use in classified areas, and all wiring to these components
shall conform to the provisions of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, for Class-1 or
Class-11, Division-2 locations. Any industrial system control head with a microswitch
is not suitable for use in a classified area.
3-4.2.2 SPRAY BOOTH PROTECTION
Open-face spray booths are specifically protected using the following design criteria. This
design is UL Listed for protection of open-face spray booths.
The work area, plenum, and exhaust duct are separately analyzed to determine the total
extinguishing system requirements. The IND-70 or IND-75 must be used to protect the front,
work area, and plenum of the open-face spray booth. Maximum coverage and nozzle
placement requirements for an open-face spray booth using one IND-75 are shown in
Figure 3-7. For ABC applications, separate cylinders (IND-25 or IND-50) are required for
protection of the exhaust duct.
3-4.2.2.1 Work Area
Protection for the work area is provided by total-flooding nozzles, P/N 83-100005-001.
For open-face spray booths, high overhead nozzles (P/N 259270) provide a "wall" of dry
chemical across the open face. These nozzles are to be located as indicated in Figure 3-7 and
Figure 3-8 and mounted at ceiling level, with the orifice tip pointed vertically down. The
maximum distance from the ceiling of the work area to the screening nozzle is 4 inches. The
maximum distance from the ceiling of the work area to the total-flooding nozzle is 3.75 inches.
One IND-70 or one IND-75 cylinder must use two high-overhead nozzles and two total-flooding
nozzles. These four nozzles will provide coverage for the work area of an open-face spray booth
with maximum dimensions of 10 feet wide by 10 feet deep by 10 feet high. For applications
wider than 10 feet, multiple IND-70/75 cylinders are required (i.e. two IND-70 or IND-75
cylinders will protect an open-face spray booth up to 20 feet wide.
The maximum uncloseable work area opening using two high-overhead nozzles from one IND-
70/75 cylinder is 100 square feet with 10 feet on the longest side.
Note: Care of Installation - As overspray of paint or other materials will, in time, accumulate
on the detectors and discharge nozzles, making them inoperative or ineffective. It is
required that the nozzle orifices be protected with "blow-off" caps on total-flood
nozzles.

System Design
3-4.2.2.2 Plenum
Protection for the plenum is provided by the Duct/Plenum (DIP) nozzle, P/N 83-100006-001.
This nozzle is to be centered in the plenum area and mounted at ceiling level, with the orifice
tip pointed vertically down. The maximum distance from the plenum ceiling to the Duct/Plenum
nozzle is 3.25 inches. One IND-70 or one IND-75 cylinder must use two Duct/Plenum nozzles.
This nozzle will provide coverage for the plenum area of an open-face spray booth with
maximum area of coverage of 31.5 square feet with the longest side of 10 feet. The maximum
height is 10 feet. For plenum areas greater than 31.5 square feet or with a longest side greater
than 10 feet an additional Duct/Plenum nozzle is required. See Figures 3-7, 3-8, and 3-10.
It is permissible to split the discharge from an IND-75 cylinder using Duct/Plenum nozzles in
the plenum and exhaust duct. See Figures 3-7, and Figure 3-8.

When exhaust-duct protection is provided using one Duct/Plenum nozzle off an IND-75 (BC)
cylinder, the nozzle coverage provided is for the first 15 feet (4572 mm) of straight
unobstructed duct. Supplemental coverage of the exhaust duct must be provided for exhaust
ducts greater than 15 feet (4572 mm) in length or those with obstructions or changes in
direction. The IND-25 (BC) or IND-50 (BC) shall be used for supplemental exhaust duct
coverage. Refer to Figure 3-9 for nozzle placement in ducts with changes of direction.
A1 Never place tin toil or plastic over nozzles. CAUTION
Apply a thin coat of silicone grease on the outside surfaces of the thermostats. Fusible links
must be changed at a minimum of every six months (more frequently if the link acquires a
coating of paint or other materials). Clean the nozzles and detectors periodically to ensure
there is no over-spray buildup on these parts; then re-grease or replace if necessary.

3-4.2.3 VENTILATION-SYSTEM SHUTDOWN
It is not required that the exhaust fan be stopped upon Dry Chemical discharge. Exhaust-duct
protection has been tested both with and without airflow. It is recommended that the exhaust
fan stay running in the event of Dry Chemical discharge. This will help to remove smoke and
other airborne materials and gases from the hazard area in the event of a fire. Check with the
Authority Having Jurisdiction for local requirements.
Forced (motorized fan) intake or make-up air shall be shutdown upon dry chemical discharge.
3-4.2.4 PIPING FOR OPEN-FACE SPRAY BOOTHS
Piping diagrams include parameters on pipe length and fittings. System piping must be
balanced. Balanced piping is the difference between the shortest actual pipe length from any
3/4-inch tee to nozzle, and the longest actual pipe length from any 3/4-inch tee to nozzle does
not exceed 10% of the longest actual pipe length from any 3/4-inch tee to nozzle. Piping runs
from the 1-inch tee to each of the 3/4-inch tees, and must be equal in length. The number and
type of fittings for all tees to nozzles must be equal.
All piping must be Schedule 40, hot-dipped-galvanized steel pipe, and all fittings must be, at
a minimum, standard weight (150-lb. class). Examples of acceptable fitting materials include
hot-dipped galvanized malleable iron, ductile iron, or steel. Couplings and unions may be used
where necessary, and reducing bushings or reducing tees can be used for changes in pipe
diameter.
Note: Black steel pipe and fittings can be used in relatively noncorrosive atmospheres.

3-4.3 Local-Application Systems
Local-application systems are used when there is no enclosure around the equipment or
process being protected. In a local-application system, the dry chemical is discharged directly
on an unenclosed hazard through fixed nozzles connected to one or more cylinders. Local-
application protection is designed to cover a fixed piece of equipment such as a dip tank or a
process in an indoor location.
The dry chemical can be locally applied either overhead with nozzles located over the hazard
area, or in a tankside manner with nozzles located along the sides of a flammable or
combustible liquid tank. The dry chemical is applied directly at and parallel to the surface of
the flammable liquid, thus the dry chemical discharge is not affected by thermal updrafts.
Regular, BC (sodium bicarbonate base) dry chemical is used on all local-application hazards
involving flammable or combustible liquids in depth. Shut down process and ventilation in the
event of a dry chemical system discharge.
Note: For use only with IND-50 cylinder/valve assembly, P/N 486571. For indoor use only.

Note: For use only with IND-50 cylinder/valve assembly, P/N 486571
Overhead discharge is hampered by the convection currents created by the fire.
The protected area is divided into area segments for coverage purposes. The maximum
surface-area coverage for each tankside nozzle, P/N 259072, is 25 square feet, subject to the
constraint that, for rectangular areas; the longest side shall not exceed 10 feet. Each nozzle
should be centered on one side of its protected-area segment.
One IND-50 cylinder must use four tankside nozzles providing a maximum total area coverage
of 100 square feet.
The tankside nozzle must be installed so that its discharge slit (or pattern) is horizontal to the
flammable- or combustible-liquid surface and is directed to the opposite side of the tank. In
addition, the nozzle must be located at least 4 inches above the highest liquid level in the tank.
This allows the nozzle to be located at any desired distance below the lip of the tank, provided
that the nozzle is positioned at least 4 inches above the highest liquid level. The coverages
obtainable with one IND-50 cylinder are shown in Figures 3-16, 3-17, and 3-18.

3-5.2.1 DETECTOR SELECTION BASED ON TEMPERATURE
For automatic actuation to occur during a fire, the detectors must be heated sufficiently to melt
and cause actuation. Experience has shown that it may take several minutes for detectors to
actuate, and actuation is dependent upon:
Fire intensity
Temperature rating
Spacing and location(s)
In order to minimize delays in detector response time, it is necessary to conduct a temperature
survey at all locations where detectors will be installed. The survey must be conducted under
maximum operating conditions (i.e., at the highest operating temperatures and airflows) to
determine the optimum exhaust airflow locations and record the peak temperatures that are
expected to occur. Once the survey is completed, select the lowest temperature-rated detector
that can be used. Refer to Table 3-22.
Note: Make sure that the detectors are located in the exhaust airflow, not in dead air spaces.
This will provide the fastest response.

A To avoid accidental system discharge, detectors must have an exposure
temperature rating greater than the maximum peak survey temperatures CAUTION recorded. See Table 3-22 for detector maximum exposure temperatures.
3-5.2.2 DETECTOR SELECTION BASED DETECTOR SELECTION
Where multiple detectors are used, they are connected to each other in series using 1/16-inch
stainless steel cable to form a continuous chain as shown in Figure 3-29.
Kidde Rapid-Response Thermo-Bulb detectors (KGR) can be spaced every 20 feet for smooth
ceilings up to 10 feet high. Consult NFPA 72 for reductions in spacing for ceiling heights in
excess of 10 feet, and for spacing guidelines when different ceiling arrangements are
encountered.
Note: For standard response mechanical detectors, Kidde requires reduction in spacing by
50%, or spacing every 10 ft. (3.1 m).
Potential fire hazards and/or fire development scenarios may require closer detector spacings.
Consult the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) in these situations.

3-5.3 Electrical Heat 'Detection Systems
All fire suppression systems using electrical heat detection and actuation shall be installed
according to NFPA 72, and the DIOM for the tested and listed Control Panel being used.
It is likely that industrial applications involving flammable or combustible
liquids will be enclosed within or surrounded by areas that will be classified as
Class I or Class II, Division 1 or Division 2 locations. Dry Chemical system
electrical components, such as thermostats, located within these areas shall be
CAUTION rated for use in classified areas, and all wiring to these components shall
conform to the provisions of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, for Class I or
Class II, Division 1, or Division 2 locations. Any industrial system control head
with a microswitch is not suitable for use in a classified area.
3-5.3.1 THERMOSTAT SELECTION
The thermostat must be heated to its setpoint temperature for automatic actuation to occur
during a fire. Automatic actuation is dependent upon:
Fire intensity
Thermostat setpoint
Thermostat spacing and location
In order to minimize delays in thermostat response, it is imperative that a temperature survey
be conducted at all locations where thermostats will be installed. The survey must be
conducted under maximum operating conditions (i.e., at the highest operating temperatures
and airflows) to determine the optimum exhaust airflow locations and record the peak
temperatures that are expected to occur. Once the survey is completed:
Select the thermostat with the lowest usable setpoint.
Make sure that there is approximately a 60°F to 1000 F buffer between the
thermostat setpoint and the maximum temperature obtained from the survey.

c. Make sure that the thermostats are located in the exhaust airflow, not in dead-air
spaces. This will provide the fastest detector response.
3-5.3.2 THERMOSTAT SPACING
The number of thermostats required for a particular industrial application is a function of the
size of the area being protected. Since the thermostat is an unpowered electrical component,
there is no upper limit established for the maximum number of detectors that can be used for
a given system. In practice, issues such as voltage drops caused by wiring resistance, impose
certain, parameters on the lengths of wiring that can be used. For applications that require
control units, consult the appropriate control-unit installation manual for wiring parameters.
When multiple thermostats are used, they are electrically connected in parallel.
Thermostats are spaced every 20 feet for smooth ceilings up to 10-feet high. Consult NFPA 72
for reductions in spacing for ceiling heights in excess of 10 feet, and for spacing guidelines
when different ceiling arrangements are encountered.
3-5.4 Other Detection Systems
Although it is most common to use heat detectors for industrial fire protection systems, there
may be some applications where another mode of detection, such as smoke, flame or radiation
detection, is more appropriate. Any UL listed and/or FM approved detector may be used to
actuate the extinguishing system, provided that the detector is appropriate to the type of
combustibles involved, and is connected to a listed and compatible control unit. The control
unit shall be tested, listed, and approved by UL and/or FM for releasing the Kidde IND Dry
Chemical System.
