The Actuation Network for the Amerex KP Restaurant Fire Suppression System consists of factory supplied hose,
installer supplied copper tubing or pipe that connects the Mechanical Release Mechanism to each cylinder discharge
valve. A single Mechanical Release Mechanism is capable of actuating up to 1 0 Agent Cylinder Discharge Valves by
discharging a single 1 0 in' nitrogen cylinder (PIN: 12856) through the actuation network.
Note: If a Vent Plug (PIN: 10173) is used it must be placed
in an accessible location anywhere in the actuation
line to aid in releasing pressure after the system has
discharged. See the RECHARGE Section VIII.
LIMITATIONS (SINGLE OR MULTIPLE CYL SYSTEMS):
Copper Tubing • ¼" O.D. Refrigeration Type with a minimum wall
thickness of .049 inches. Use with brass or steel compression
style fittings (with brass or steel sleeves or ferrules).
Maximum length (including all fittings)• 100 Feet (30.48 m)
High Pressure Hose -¼" I.D. wire braid hose that is
factory supplied.
Maximum length (including all fittings) •
54 Feet (16.46 m) or a maximum number of PIN: 12854
Hose Assemblies is 40.
Pipe• ¼" NPT Schedule 40 made of stainless steel; gal
vanized, chrome plated or black iron pipe.
Maximum length -22.2 Feet (6.77 m)
Maximum tees • 9
Maximum elbows • 9 (Note: 2 -45" elbows = 1 • 90")
Note: Different methods of constructing the actuation network
may be mixed, provided that the shortest limttations
are followed.
Example: A mix of ¼' copper tubing and ¼" high pressure
hose requires that the hose limitations be
followed (no more than 54 Feet (16.46 m)
for the complete network.
A mix of ¼" high pressure hose
and ¼" pipe requires that the
pipe limitations be followed (no
niore than 22.2 Feet (6. 77 m)

An Appliance Branch Line is the piping
which runs from the supply line to any
appliance nozzles including all fittings
used to exit the supply line.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DISTRIBUTION NETWORK PIPING:
All pipe used for the distribution network must be schedule 40 (black, chrome or stainless steel)
WARNING: GALVANIZED PIPE IS NOT ALLOWED
EQUIVALENT PIPING: 0
Piping limitations are expressed in both linear and equivalent lengths.
Linear piping is the actual length of straight pipe used on either the main supply line or branch line.
MAY 1, 1995
Typical Single
Cylinder System
Layout
Equivalent piping is the total of linear pipe used either on the main supply line or the branch line plus the equivalent
length of all fittings used on either the main supply or a branch line.
Ali pipe fittings have a calculable pressure loss which is equated to the pressure loss through a specific length of
straight pipe. This loss is the equivalent length of the fitting. See chart for equivalent lengths of fittings.

Amerex KP-375 Wet Chemical System (EX 4658)
DETECTION NETWORK LIMITATONS: @
Optimum fire suppression system performance relies on proper detection network design. This section discusses the
type of detectors used, their selection, placement and design limitations.
The Amerex KP Restaurant Fire Suppression System uses a continuous cable, corner pulleys, detector bracket,
detector linkage, fusible links, conduit offset, terminal link connector and a temperature measuring device.
The quantity of detectors to be used in a system will depend on the number of ducts, number of appliances and the
location of the appliances under the hood.
DETERMINING DETECTOR LOCATION AND NUMBER OF DETECTORS:
In order to detect a fire in the duct, a detector is required to be placed in the center of the duct, either at the duct
opening or up to 12 inches into. the duct. If it is mounted into the duct, the bracket cannot shield the fusible link from
the hot vapors moving through t~e duct.
Every appliance under the hood which is being
protected by the suppression system must have
a detector placed over it and positioned within
the path of exhaust vapors.
EXCEPTION; if the appliance being protected is
oriented under the hood so that it's perimeter is
directly under the duct opening, then a separate
detector for that appliance(s) is not required
provided that the detector in the duct is not
installed more than 12' into the duct opening.
WARNING: DO NOT LOCATE DETECTORS
DIRECTLY INTHE PATH OF GAS
APPLIANCE EXHAUST FLUE
GASES. DOING SO COULD
RESULT IN UNNECESSARY
DISCHARGE OF THE SYSTEM.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF DETECTION NETWORK:
Maximum of 24 corner pulleys.
Maximum of 20 detectors (any combination of temperature settings).
Maximum of 120 feet of cable on the detection network.
No pulley tees are allowed.

FUSIBLE LINK SELECTION:
To assure that the appropriate temperature is selected, the temperature sensing device must be used at each
detector location while the cooking line and exhaust fan is operating. Temperatures found at each detector should be
recorded and placed with other documentation in the job file for future reference. Selection of fusible links should be
made according to the temperature measured:

manual pull station network consists of cable, corner pulleys, pulley tee, manual pull station(s) and conduit offset
GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF MANUAL PULL STATION NETWORK:
Maximum of 20 corner pulleys per manual pull station
Maximum of 130 feet of cable per manual pull station
Conduit Offset
Maximum of 1 pulley tee per network (counts as one comer pulley for~ manual pull station)
Maximum of 1 conduit offset per network (must be attached to the MRM and before tee pulley when chosen)
Note: Manual pull stations should be installed no higher than 48 inches from the floor and must be
along a path of egress. Consult the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for the final ap
proval for manual pull station quantity, location and mounting height and other considerations
prior to finalizing manual pull station mounting details.

MECHANICAL GAS VALVE APPLICATIONS: ®
The Mechanical Release Module closes the mechanical gas valve immedially upon system discharge. A pneumatic
and mechanical action in the MRM pulls on a cable attached to the mechanical gas valve, unlatching the valve and
allowing an internal spring within the valve body to provide the closing force. Connection of the cable from the valve
to the MRM under tension maintains the gas valve in an open position.
MECHANICAL GAS VALVE:
A Mechanical Gas Valve Trip Cylinder assembly must be
used with any mechanical gas valve. The gas valve trip
cylinder assembly (PIN 127 40) is included with all Amerex
manufactured gas valves but may be ordered separately
for use with gas valves listed in this manual supplied by other manufacturers.
See Section Ill "System Components• for all mechanical gas valves
<> that are suitable for use with the Amerex KP Restaurant Fire Suppression
System. The use of any other mechanical gas valves will void the U.L. listing
for the system installation. All of the listed valves have female NPT threads.
The location of the gas valve should be accessible and approved by the Local
Authority Having Jurisdiction. Installation of the mechanical gas valve into the
gas line should be pertormed by a contractor licensed and qualified for such work. See Component Section
for illustrations
MECHANICAL GAS VALVE ACTUATION NETWORK LIMITATIONS:
The mechanical gas valve actuation network consists of cable, corner pulleys, pulley tee, gas valve and conduit offset.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF MECHANICAL GAS VALVE NETWORK:
Maximum of 20 corner pulleys per mechanical gas valve
Maximum of 130 feet of cable per mechanical gas valve
Maximum of 1 pulley tee per network (counts as one corner pulley for~ mechanical gas valve)
Maximum of 1 conduit offset per network (must be located l!1 Mechanical Release Module and before tee pulley
when chosen)
