For higher total flow numbers (23 to 110), multiple cartridges and regulated actuators are required as shown in the System Selection Guide in Section IX - Appendix. ACTUATION AND EXPELLANT GAS LINE REQUIREMENTS This section contains the guidelines for installing the actuation and expellant gas lines between the regulated release mechanism reg- ulator, each regulated actuator regulator, and each agent tank. These limitations should be considered when selecting the com- ponent mounting locations. The actuation gas line is the length of pipe and/or hose that is run from either the AUTOMAN Regulated Release Assembly or the Remote Release Assembly that directs high pressure from the cartridge in the release to actuate one or more additional Regulated Actuator Assemblies. The actuation gas line can consist of 1/4 in. Schedule 40 black iron, chrome-plated, stainless steel, or galvanized steel pipe and fittings, and/or factory supplied stainless steel braided actuation hose. The expellant gas line is the length of pipe that is run from the regulator in either the AUTOMAN Regulated Release Assembly or a Regulated Actuator Assembly that directs regulated pressure to the agent storage tanks to pressurize the tank and discharge the agent. The expellant gas line shall consist of 1/4 in. Schedule 40 black iron, chrome-plated, stainless steel, or galvanized steel pipe and fittings. Actuation Gas Line —6 to 8* Tanks Maximum * 8 Tank maximum reflects the utilization of 3 tank regulated actuators. Use only 1/4 in. Schedule 40 black iron, hot-dipped galva- nized, chrome-plated, or stainless steel pipe and fittings. The actuation gas line piping is installed from the regulated release mechanism to each regulated actuator connected within the system. The total length of the actuation gas line from the regulated release assembly to the regulated actuator assembly(ies) must not exceed 20 ft (6 m) when using an LT-20-R, an LT-30-R nitrogen cartridge, or a 101-10 or a 0. 101 -20 carbon dioxide cartridge.

SECTION IV - SYSTEM DESIGN UL EX3470 ULC EX3470 Page 4-49 7-1-09 REV.5 ACTUATION AND EXPELLENT GAS LINE REQUIREMENTS (Continued) Expellant Gas Line 1. The expellant gas line is installed from the regulated release mechanism in double, three, and multiple-tank systems, and from the regulated actuator assembly in multiple-tank sys- tems. The expellant gas line is the piping and/or hose between the regulator and the tank-enclosure/tank-bracket assembly. The total length of the expellant gas line from the regulated release mechanism or each regulated actuator assembly must not exceed 30 ft (9 m) when using a "double-tank" car- tridge, an LT-A-101-30 Cartridge, or a 101-30 Cartridge. See Figures 103 and 104. EXPELLANT GAS LINE MAXIMUM LENGTH -30 FT (9 m), MAXIMUM NO. OF FITTINGS -9 "ANSUL AUTOMAN" REGULATED RELEASE ASSEMBLY 4. If three 3.0 gallon tanks are connected to the regulator in either a regulated release or regulated actuator assembly, only factory supplied expellant gas hose assemblies will be utilized. Refer to Distribution Piping Requirements - 9.0 Gallon System, page 4-55 for additional design requirements. DISTRIBUTION PIPING REQUIREMENTS Once the nozzle placement and quantity of tanks has been deter- mined, it is then necessary to determine the piping configurations between the tank adaptor and each discharge nozzle. This section contains the guidelines and limitations for designing the distribu- tion piping so that the liquid agent will discharge from the nozzles at a proper flow rate. These limitations should also be referred to when selecting the mounting location for the regulated release mechanism and agent tank. General Piping Requirements All R-1 02 system piping is straight line. Therefore, the need for critical lengths and balancing is minimized. Two 45° elbows count as one 900 elbow. Each branch line includes the tee or elbow leading to it, and all fittings within the branch line itself. The minimum piping length of Schedule 40, 3/8 in. pipe from the tank outlet to any nozzle protecting a range, fryer, or wok must be 6 ft (1.8 m). Pipe lengths are measured from center of fitting to center of fitting. See Figure 105. -i CENTER TO CENTER FIGURE 103 000776 EXPELLANT GAS LINE MAXIMUM LENGTH -30 FT (9 m), MAXIMUM NO. OF FITTINGS -9 REGULATED ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FIGURE 104 000777 FIGURE 105 000778 All distribution piping must be 3/8 in. Schedule 40 black iron, chrome-plated, or stainless steel. Do not use hot dipped gal- vanized pipe on the distribution piping. All threaded connections located in and above the protected area must be sealed with pipe tape. Tape should be applied to male threads only. Make certain tape does not extend over the end of the thread, as this could cause possible blockage of the agent distribution. Before installing blow-off caps on nozzles, apply a small amount of Dow Corning No. 111 silicone grease across the opening in the nozzle tip and also a small amount coating the exterior of the blow-off cap. This will help keep cooking grease from building up on the cap. Tees used in the distribution piping can be used as thru tees, side outlet tees, or bull tees. A combined total of nine fittings may be used in these lines, eight 90° elbows and one tee. Two 45° elbows equal one 90° elbow. If two tanks are connected to the regulated release assembly in a multiple-tank system arrangement, the total combined length of the actuation and expellant gas lines must not exceed 30 ft (9 m) when using a "double-tank" nitrogen car- tridge, an LT-A-101-30 nitrogen cartridge, or a 101-30 carbon dioxide cartridge. See Figure 101.

SECTION 4— SYSTEM DESIGN UL EX3470 ULC EX3470 2014-SEP-01 REV. 11 PAGE 4-61 For higher total flow numbers (23 to 110), multiple cartridges and regulated actuators are required as shown in the System Selection Guide in "Appendix" Section ACTUATION AND EXPELLANT GAS LINE REQUIREMENTS This section contains the guidelines for installing the actuation and expellant gas lines between the regulated release mech- anism regulator, each regulated actuator regulator, and each agent tank. These limitations should be considered when select- ing the component mounting locations. The actuation gas line is the length of pipe and/or hose that is run from either the AUTOMAN Regulated Release Assembly or the Remote Release Assembly that directs high pressure from the cartridge in the release to actuate one or more additional Regulated Actuator Assemblies. The actuation gas line can consist of 1/4 in. Schedule 40 black iron, chrome-plated, stain- less steel, or galvanized steel pipe and fittings, and/or factory supplied stainless steel braided actuation hose. The expellant gas line is the length of pipe that is run from the regulator in either the AUTOMAN Regulated Release Assembly or a Regulated Actuator Assembly that directs regulated pres- sure to the agent storage tanks to pressurize the tank and discharge the agent. The expellant gas line shall consist of 1/4 in. Schedule 40 black iron, chrome-plated, stainless steel, or galvanized steel pipe and fittings. Actuation Gas Line —6 to 8* Tanks Maximum * 8 Tank maximum reflects the utilization of Stank regulated actuators. Use only 1/4 in. Schedule 40 black iron, hot-dipped galva- nized, chrome-plated, or stainless steel pipe and fittings. The actuation gas line piping is installed from the regulated release mechanism to each regulated actuator connected within the system. The total length of the actuation gas line from the regulated release assembly to the regulated aôtua- tor assembly(ies) must not exceed 20 It (6.0 m) when using an LT-20-R, an LT-30-R nitrogen cartridge, or a 101-10 or a 101-20 carbon dioxide cartridge.

Gas Line The expellant gas line is installed from the regulated release mechanism in double, three, and multiple-tank systems, and from the regulated actuator assembly in multiple-tank systems. The expellant gas line is the piping and/or hose between the regulator and the tank-enclosureank-braCket assembly. The total length of the expellant gas line from the regulated release mechanism or each regulated actu- ator assembly must not exceed 30 ft (9.1 m) when using a "double-tank" cartridge, an LT-A-101-30 Cartridge, or a 101-30 Cartridge.

See Figure 4-122. If three 3.0 gallon tanks are connected to the regulator in either a regulated release or regulated actuator assembly, only factory supplied expellant gas hose assemblies will be utilized. Refer to Distribution Piping Requirements - 9.0 Gallon System, page 4-70 for additional design requirements. DISTRIBUTION PIPING REQUIREMENTS Once the nozzle placement and quantity of tanks has been determined, it is then necessary to determine the piping config- urations between the tank adaptor and each discharge nozzle. This section contains the guidelines and limitations for designing the distribution piping so that the liquid agent will discharge from the nozzles at a proper flow rate. These limitations should also be referred to when selecting the mounting location for the regu- lated release mechanism and agent tank. EXPELLANT GAS LINE MAXIMUM LENGTH -30 FT (9.1 m); MAXIMUM NO. OF FITTINGS -9 AUTOMAN REGULATED RELEASE ASSEMBLY FIGURE 4-124 000776 General Piping Requirements All R-102 system piping is straight line. Therefore, the need for critical lengths and balancing is minimized. Two 450 elbows count as one 900 elbow. Each branch line includes the tee or elbow leading to it, and all fittings within the branch line itself. The minimum piping length of Schedule 40, 3/8 in. pipe from the tank outlet to any nozzle protecting a range, fryer, or wok must be 6 ft (1.9 m). Pipe lengths are measured from center of fitting to center of fitting. See Figure 4-126. Ii CENTER TO CENTER FIGURE 4-126 000778 All distribution piping must be 3/8 in. Schedule 40 black iron, chrome-plated, or stainless steel. Do not use hot dipped galvanized pipe on the distribution piping. All threaded connections located in and above the protected area must be sealed with pipe tape. Tape should be applied to male threads only. Make certain tape does not extend over the end of the thread, as this could cause possible blockage of the agent distribution. Before installing blow-off caps on nozzles, apply a small amount of Dow Coming No. 111 silicone grease across the opening in the nozzle tip and also a small amount coating the exterior of the blow-off cap. This will help keep cooking grease from building up on the cap. Tees used in the distribution piping can be used as thru tees, side outlet tees, or bull tees. REGULATED ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FIGURE 4-125 000777 .'\. 2. A combined total of nine fittings may be used in these lines, eight 900 elbows and one tee. Two 450 elbows equal one 900 elbow.

See Figure 4-127. DUCT BRANCH LINE A R-102 Restaurant Fire Suppression Manual SUPPLY LINE The Supply Line is defined as the length of pipe which runs from the agent tank outlet to the last branch line (whether a duct, appliance, or plenum branch line). This includes all supply line fittings except for the tees or elbows leading to the branch lines. See Figures 4-127 and 4-128.

However, in many jurisdictions, the Authority Having Jurisdiction has required fire protection for conveyor pizza ovens. In the past, appliances not addressed in the UL300 test standard have been protected by following listed protection options for other appliances with similar operating characteristics. Generally, these appliances presented a more severe hazard than the appliance in question. In the case of conveyor pizza ovens, chain broiler protection was utilized. To confirm recommended protection, we recently conducted a conveyor pizza oven fire test following the chain broiler test protocol outlined in UL 300, substituting fatty hamburgers with a grease coated pizza crust, to emulate the cooking process used by conveyor pizza ovens. Prior recommendations for conveyor pizza ovens larger than the two 1 N horizontal nozzle limitations for a chain broiler, suggested using four 1 N nozzles, each positioned at the end corners and aimed diagonally across the chain within the oven. Based on the actual fire testing, we now recommend two 245 nozzles per conveyor: one nozzle is positioned at the inlet and one nozzle is positioned at the outlet of the conveyor pizza oven on the same side of the oven and aimed at the opposite corners. Utilizing two 245 nozzles as recommended is suitable protection for conveyors larger than the limitations for a chain broiler but not exceeding 38 in.(96.5 cm) wide x 70 in (177.8 cm) long.

See Figure 12. The nozzles may point in the opposite directions as long as the entire plenum area is protected, and the 10 ft (3.1 m) limitation is not exceeded. See Figure 13. The nozzle positioning shown in Figure 14 is not an acceptable method of protection because the plenum area directly under the tee is not within the discharge pattern of either nozzle.
