SYSTEM DESIGN
rGENERAL
The KITCHEN KNIGHT II Restaurant Fire Suppression System
may be used on a number of different types of restaurant
cooking appliances and hood and duct configurations. The
design information listed in this section deals with the limita-
tions and parameters of this pre-engineered system. Those
individuals responsible for the design of the KITCHEN KNIGHT
II system must be trained and hold a current PYRO-CHEM
certificate in a KITCHEN KNIGHT II training program.
NOZZLE COVERAGE AND
PLACEMENT
This section will provide guidelines for determining nozzle type,
positioning, and quantity for duct, plenum, and appliance
protection.
Duct Protection
It is not required that the fan be shut down or the exhaust duct
be dampered for the system to operate properly.
All duct protection is UL listed without limitation of maximum
duct length (unlimited length). This includes all varieties of
ductworks both horizontal and vertical including ducts that run
at angles to the horizontal and ducts with directional bends.
Duct protection requires that a nozzle be positioned to
discharge into the duct. Two nozzles are available for duct
protection.
The Model IL Nozzle, Part No. 551026, is a one (1) flow
nozzle. A single IL nozzle is capable of protecting square or
rectangular ducts with a maximum perimeter of 50 in. (127 cm)
(maximum side of 16 3/4 in. (42.6 cm)), with the diagonal
being a maximum of 18 3/4 in. (47.6 cm). It can also protect a
round duct with a maximum diameter of 16 in. (40.6 cm).
The Model 2D duct nozzle, Part No. 551038, is a two (2) flow
nozzle. A single 2D nozzle is capable of protecting square or
rectangular ducts with a maximum perimeter of 100 in.
(254 cm), with the diagonal being a maximum of 37 3/8 in.
(94.9 cm). It can also protect a round duct with a maximum
diameter of 31 7/8 in. (81 cm).
When two (2) 2D duct nozzles are used to protect a single
duct, the cross sectional area of the duct must be divided into
two equal symmetrical areas. The nozzle must then be
installed on the centerline of the area it protects and aimed
directly into the duct opening.
The nozzle(s) must be installed on the centerline of the duct,
with the tip located 0 to 6 in. (15.2 cm) into the opening, and
aimed directly into the duct opening. See Figure 3-1.
In installations where a UL listed damper assembly is
employed, the duct nozzle can be installed beyond the 6 in.
(15.2 cm) maximum, to a point just beyond the damper assem-
bly that will not interfere with the damper. Exceeding the maxi-
mum of 6 in. (15.2 cm) in this way will not void the UL listing of
the system.

Modularizing Ducts
DUCT SIZES GREATER THAN 100 IN. (254 cm) PERIMETER
Ducts over 100 in. perimeter must be modularized using 2D
nozzles (Part No. 551038)
No round duct option available
Follow the design chart to determine maximum module size
for each 2D nozzle
When determining number of nozzles required, it is some-
times an advantage to check the chart using the shortest
side as Side "A" and then recheck it using the longest side
as Side 'A'. This comparison may reveal a need for a lesser
quantity of nozzles one way versus the other way.
When working with Chart 1, the quantity of nozzles determined
must be equally divided within the duct area.
CHART NO.1
B
A SIDE "B"
When working with Chart 2, one half of the quantity of nozzles
determined must be equally positioned in the top half of the
area of the duct and the remaining half of the nozzles must be
positioned in the bottom half of the duct area.
Example: The duct to be protected has a Side "A" of 40 in. and
a Side "B" of 60 in. Referring to the design chart, this duct
requires 4 nozzles. One half of 4 = 2. Therefore, 2 nozzles
must be equally positioned in each of the two duct areas. See
P. Figure 3-la.

Transition Ducts - The protection of non-standard ducts
should be reviewed by the authority having jurisdiction. PYRO-
CHEM KITCHEN KNIGHT II recommends that transition ducts
be protected as follows:
a. Transition ducts - larger to smaller
In cases where the duct/plenum interface opening is
larger than the final exhaust duct, measure the perime-
ter/diameter of the duct halfway between the largest and
smallest section (or the average perimeter/diameter). The
nozzle is to be located within 0-6 in. (15.2 cm) of the
duct/plenum interface (not at the point where the
measurement was taken), centered under the final
exhaust duct opening. See Figure 3-1b.
Note: Nozzles to protect ducts with a transition that is
more than 4 ft (1.2 m) in height, will be required to be
positioned in the opening of the transition from the hood
2 to 8 in. (5.1 to 20.3 cm) into the opening using standard
duct nozzle design parameters.
c. Multiple risers
In cases of multiple rises, each riser is protected as an
individual duct. See Figure 3-1d.
Figure 3-1d.
Electrostatic Precipitator - Ducts utilizing electrostatic
precipitators must be protected above and below the unit.
Standard duct nozzles are used in this application. See Figure
3-le.

b. Transition ducts - smaller to larger
In cases where the duct/plenum interface opening is
smaller than the final exhaust duct, measure the perime-
ter/diameter of the final exhaust duct. The nozzle(s) is to
be located within 0-6 in. (15.2 cm) of the duct/plenum
0. interface, centered in the opening. See Figure 3-1c.
The Model 1 H nozzle, Part No. 551029, is a one (1) flow
nozzle used for plenum protection. A single 1H nozzle can
protect a plenum (with single or V-bank filters) 10 ft (3.1 m)
long by 4 ft (1.2 m) wide. Dividing the length into sections
equal to or less than 10 ft (3.1 m) in length and positioning a
nozzle at the start of each section can be done to protect
longer plenums.

On V-bank plenums, the nozzle(s) must be located at the
center of the V-bank width, 1/3 of the vertical height of the
filters. On single filter bank plenums, the nozzle must be
located 2 in. (5.1 cm) from the back edge of the filter, 1/3
down from the vertical height. For either application, the
nozzle must be located within 6 in. (15.2 cm) of the end of
the plenum (or module) and aimed directly down the length of
the plenum. 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 3-2.

2a. High-Proximity Backshelf Protection -When using the
2L nozzle for range protection with high-proximity backshelf,
the maximum length of burners being protected must not
1H exceed 28 in. (71 cm) and the maximum area of the burners 510 IN.
(127 cm) must not exceed 336 sq in. (2167 sq cm). The backshelf must
be a minimum of 18 in. (45.7 cm) above the top of the range

The Model 1L nozzle, Part No. 551026, is used for low proxim-
ity small range protection. This nozzle is a one (1) flow nozzle.
The range can be equipped either with or without a back-
shelf. Either type requires the same nozzle requirements. The
nozzle must be located 22 in. (56 cm) from either end of the
hazard area centered from left to right. It must be 13 in. to 24
in. (33 to 61 cm) above cooking surface, and aimed at a point
one half the distance of whatever the height dimension of the
nozzle is. When determining nozzle and aim point locations,
both measurements are to be taken from the same end of the
hazard area. Example: The nozzle is mounted 20 in. (51 cm)
above the cooking surface. The aim point from the edge of the
hazard would then be 10 in. (25 cm) which is one half the
nozzle mounting height dimension. See Figure 3-4a. Note:
Nozzles must be placed at or below the shelf, within the nozzle
height limitations.

3. Larger Burner Range (784 sq in. (5085 sq cm) maximum,
28 in. (71 cm) longest side maximum)
One nozzle is available for large range protection: High
proximity.
The Model 2L nozzle, Part No. 551027, is used for high
proximity large range protection. This nozzle is a two (2)
flow nozzle. When using high proximity protection, the
range cannot be under a backshelf. This nozzle must be
located 34 in. to 48 in. (86 to 122 cm) above the cooking
surface, and aimed directly down within the mounting area,
based on the hazard size, as described in the Nozzle
Positioning Chart. See Figure 3-5.
K
006411
Figure 3-5.
Example: A four burner range has a hazard size of 20 in.
(51 cm) in length and 27 in. (69 cm) in width. Follow down
the Range Length column in the Nozzle Positioning Chart
until you come to 20 in. (51 cm). Continue down this
column until the correct width appears in the width column.
When the width of 27 in. (69 cm) is arrived at, read across
to the radius column to determine the size of radius
allowed, for positioning of the nozzle, from the hazard area
centerline. In this example, the correct radius is 3 in. (8 cm).
The nozzle can be aimed straight down anywhere within a
3 in. (8 cm) radius of the hazard area centerline.

Fryer - Multiple Nozzle Protection
Fryers exceeding the coverage of a single nozzle can be
divided into modules. Each module must not exceed the maxi-
mum area allowed for a single nozzle. However, when utilizing
multiple nozzle protection, the longest side allowed for a fryer
with drip board can be used, regardless of whether the fryer
has a drip board or not.
The maximum size fryer that can be modularized is 864 sq in.
(5574 sq cm).
Design requirements for multiple nozzle fryers are broken
down as follows:
If the fryer includes any dripboard areas, measure both the
internal length (front to back) and width of the frypot
portion. Then measure the internal length and width of the
overall hazard area including any dripboard areas.
Determine the area of both the frypot and the area of the
overall vat by multiplying corresponding length and width
dimensions.
Divide the frypot or overall vat into modules, each of which
can be protected by a single nozzle, based on the maxi-
mum dimension and area coverage of the nozzle as speci-
fied in "Design Chart."
If the module considered does not include any portion of
the dripboard, use only the maximum frypot area and
maximum dimension listed in the "Design Chart."
If the module considered includes any dripboard areas,
use both the maximum frypot area and dimension listed
in the "Design Chart", and the maximum overall area
and dimension listed in the "Design Chart."
3. None of the maximum dimensions may be exceeded. If
either the maximum frypot or the overall sizes are
exceeded, the area divided into modules will need to be
redefined with the possibility of an additional nozzle.

PIPING LIMITATIONS
Once the nozzle placement and quantity of tanks has been
determined, it is necessary to determine the piping configura-
tions between the tank and the nozzles. This section contains
the guidelines and limitations for designing the distribution
piping so that the wet chemical agent will discharge from the
nozzles at a proper flow rate. These limitations must also be
referred to when selecting the mounting location for the tanks.
The maximum pipe lengths are based on internal pipe volume.
Each size tank is allowed a minimum and maximum total
volume of piping, calculated in milliliters.
There is no need to distinguish between what portion of the
piping is supply line and what portion is branch line. Only the
total volume of the complete piping network has to be consid-
ered.

General Piping Requirements
Split piping and straight piping are both allowed on
a PCL-160, PCL-300 and PCL-460 system.
PCL-600 systems must use split piping only, with no
nozzle located before the split, and with a maximum
of 14 flow points per side. 1/2 in. minimum piping
must be used up to the first split.
Maximum volume for 1/4 in. pipe between a nozzle
and the preceding tee is 410 mIs.
Maximum flow numbers for 1/4 in. pipe is 6.
Maximum number of elbows between a nozzle and
the preceding tee is 5.
Maximum of 25 elbows are allowed in the total
piping system.
Maximum difference in elevation between the tank
outlet and any nozzle, or the tank outlet and the
highest or lowest horizontal pipe run, is 10 ft
(3.1 m).
No traps are allowed in the piping network.
Pipe lengths are measured from center to center of
fittings.
The internal equivalent length volume of fittings
does not have to be considered as part of the total
pipe volume.
When utilizing different size pipe in the system, the
largest size must start first and the additional pipe
must decrease as it approaches the nozzle.
Elbow(s) or swivel adaptors located at the nozzles
do not have to be counted in the 25 elbow maxi-
mum requirement.
Reducing bushings are allowed when reducing to a
smaller pipe size.
Additional piping requirements when protecting a
range, wok, or a fryer:
PCL-160 - Minimum of 239 ml and one (1) flow
number required in total system. Of that minimum,
180 ml must be utilized at or before the range,
wok, or fryer.
PCL-300 - Minimum of 300 ml and four (4) flow
numbers required in total system. Of that mini-
mum, 239 ml and two (2) flow numbers must be
utilized at or before the range, wok, or fryer.
PCL-460 - Minimum of 660 ml and ten (10) flow
numbers required in total system. Of that mini-
mum, 180 ml and two (2) flow numbers must be
utilized at or before the range, wok, or fryer.
PCL-600 - Minimum of 960 ml and fourteen (14)
flow numbers required in total system. Of that
minimum, 120 ml and 2 flow numbers must be
utilized at or before the range, wok, or fryer.

Design Steps
Step No. 1 Determine number of flow points required based
on duct size, plenum size and type, and size of all
appliances.
Step No. 2 Determine size and quantity of tanks required.
Refer to the chart in "General Piping
Requirements" to determine the maximum amount
of flow numbers allowed per each tank size.
Step No. 3 Layout nozzles, piping diagram, and tank location.
Determine pipe lengths as accurate as possible.
Make certain maximum number of elbows is not
exceeded. Note: Tanks cannot be manifolded
together. Each tank must have a separate
piping network.
Step No. 4 Add all the lengths of each pipe run and multiply
by the mIs/ft. listed in the Volume Chart. If the
sum falls within the acceptable range noted in
general Piping Requirements, that pipe size is
acceptable. If the calculated volume is too large,
recalculate the volume using the ml per foot of a
smaller pipe size. Pipe sizes can be mixed but
Rule No. 11 of the General Piping Requirements
must be followed.
Step No. 5 Check to make certain minimum volumes, maxi-
mum volumes and maximum volume allowed
between first nozzle and last nozzle is not
exceeded (Tank Chart). Check each rule in
"General Piping Requirement" to make certain
none have been exceeded. If any requirement is
exceeded, change to a different pipe Size and
recalculate.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This manual is intended for use with PYRO-CHEM®
KITCHEN KNIGHT® II Restaurant Fire Suppression
Systems. Those who install, operate, recharge, or maintain
these fire suppression systems should read this entire
manual. Specific sections will be of particular interest
depending upon one's responsibilities.
Design, installation, recharge, and maintenance of the
system must conform to the limitations detailed in this
manual and performed by an individual who attended a
PYRO-CHEM training program and became trained to install,
recharge, design, and maintain the PYRO-CHEM system.
Fire suppression systems are mechanical devices. They
need periodic care. Maintenance is a vital step in the perfor-
mance of your fire suppression system. As such, it must be
performed in accordance with NFPA 96 (Standard for the
Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and
Grease-Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment)
and NFPA 17A (Standard on Wet Chemical Extinguishing
Systems) by an authorized PYRO-CHEM distributor. To
provide maximum assurance that the fire suppression
system will operate effectively and safely, maintenance must
be conducted at six-month intervals, or earlier if the situation
dictates. Twelve-year maintenance must include agent tank
hydrostatic testing.
The PYRO-CHEM KITCHEN KNIGHT II Pre-Engineered
System utilizes a wet chemical agent specifically designed to
suppress restaurant cooking area fires. The system provides
automatic actuation and can be manually actuated through a
remote mechanical pull station. Upon actuation, the system
discharges a pre-determined amount of agent to the duct,
plenum, and cooking appliances. The agent acts to suppress
fires in three ways:
The chemical chain reaction causing combustion is inter-
rupted by both the agent itself and the resulting steam
formation.
The agent cools the fire bringing it below auto-ignition
temperature.
The agent reacts with hot grease forming a soap-like
layer (saponification) that helps prevent the escape of
combustible vapors, thus preventing re-ignition.
The shutdown of all sources of fuel and electric power that
produce heat to all equipment protected by the system is
required upon system actuation. Make up or supply air fans,
integral to the exhaust hood(s) being protected, shall be shut
down upon system actuation. Exhaust fan(s) in the ventila-
tion system should remain on during system discharge as
they assist the dispersion of chemical through the ventilating
system. The system is UL Listed with or without exhaust fan
shutdown.
The KITCHEN KNIGHT II and the KITCHEN KNIGHT
Restaurant Fire Suppression System are compatible as long
as separate installation guidelines are followed per each
system design manual. Exception: The actuation limitations
for the KITCHEN KNIGHT II system may be utilized for the
KITCHEN KNIGHT system. Also, control heads, prior to
Model No. 3, may be utilized on KITCHEN KNIGHT II
systems, provided that the limitations used with those control
heads are followed.
Temperature Limitations
The operating temperature range of the PYRO-CHEM
KITCHEN KNIGHT If System is 32° F (0° C) minimum to
120° F (49° C) maximum.

CYLINDERS & VALVE
The PYRO-CHEM KITCHEN KNIGHT II System has available
four different size cylinders: Models PCL-160 (P/N 553163),
PCL-300 (P/N 551194), PCL-460 (P/N 551193), and PCL-600
(P/N 551196). Cylinder sizes are expressed in terms of extin-
guishing agent capacity (i.e., the PCL-300 uses 3.0 gallons
(11.4 L) of extinguishing agent). The cylinder is manufactured,
tested, and meets DOT requirements. Cylinders come pre-filled
with extinguishing agent and are charged with dry nitrogen to a
pressure of 225 psig @ 700 F (15.5 bar @ 21 °C). Cylinder
and valve assembly dimensions are shown in Figure 2-la.

Fusible Links
The fusible link is designed to separate at a specific tempera-
ture, releasing tension from the fusible link line, causing
system actuation. See Figure 2-10.
Note: When possible, temperature readings should be taken
at each detector location to determine optimum fusible link
temperature ratings. Temperature can be recorded using
either a maximum registering thermometer, Part No. 15240,
temperature tape (by others), or any other accurate ther-
mometer that will record the maximum temperature experi-
6. at the detector location.

SYSTEM DESIGN
r GENERAL
The KITCHEN KNIGHT II Restaurant Fire Suppression System
may be used on a number of different types of restaurant
cooking appliances and hood and duct configurations. The
design information listed in this section deals with the limita-
tions and parameters of this pre-engineered system. Those
individuals responsible for the design of the KITCHEN KNIGHT
II system must be trained and hold a current PYRO-CHEM
certificate in a KITCHEN KNIGHT II training program.
NOZZLE COVERAGE AND
PLACEMENT
This section will provide guidelines for determining nozzle type,
positioning, and quantity for duct, plenum, and appliance
protection.
Duct Protection
It is not required that the fan be shut down or the exhaust duct
be dampered for the system to operate properly.
All duct protection is UL listed without limitation of maximum
duct length (unlimited length). This includes all varieties of
ductworks both horizontal and vertical including ducts that run
at angles to the horizontal and ducts with directional bends.
Duct protection requires that a nozzle be positioned to
discharge into the duct. Two nozzles are available for duct
protection.
The Model IL Nozzle, Part No. 551026, is a one (1) flow
nozzle. A single IL nozzle is capable of protecting square or
rectangular ducts with a maximum perimeter of 50 in. (127 cm)
(maximum side of 16 3/4 in. (42.6 cm)), with the diagonal
being a maximum of 18 3/4 in. (47.6 cm). It can also protect a
round duct with a maximum diameter of 16 in. (40.6 cm).
The Model 2D duct nozzle, Part No. 551038, is a two (2) flow
nozzle. A single 2D nozzle is capable of protecting square or
rectangular ducts with a maximum perimeter of 100 in.
(254 cm), with the diagonal being a maximum of 37 3/8 in.
(94.9 cm). It can also protect a round duct with a maximum
diameter of 31 7/8 in. (81 cm).
When two (2) 2D duct nozzles are used to protect a single
duct, the cross sectional area of the duct must be divided into
two equal symmetrical areas. The nozzle must then be
installed on the centerline of the area it protects and aimed
directly into the duct opening.
The nozzle(s) must be installed on the centerline of the duct,
with the tip located 0 to 6 in. (15.2 cm) into the opening, and
aimed directly into the duct opening. See Figure 3-1.
In installations where a UL listed damper assembly is
employed, the duct nozzle can be installed beyond the 6 in.
(15.2 cm) maximum, to a point just beyond the damper assem-
bly that will not interfere with the damper. Exceeding the maxi-
mum of 6 in. (15.2 cm) in this way will not void the UL listing of
the system.

When working with Chart 2, one half of the quantity of nozzles
determined must be equally positioned in the top half of the
area of the duct and the remaining half of the nozzles must be
positioned in the bottom half of the duct area.
Example: The duct to be protected has a Side "A" of 40 in. and
a Side "B" of 60 in. Referring to the design chart, this duct
requires 4 nozzles. One half of 4 = 2. Therefore, 2 nozzles
must be equally positioned in each of the two duct areas. See
P. Figure 3-la.

Transition Ducts - The protection of non-standard ducts
should be reviewed by the authority having jurisdiction. PYRO-
CHEM KITCHEN KNIGHT II recommends that transition ducts
be protected as follows:
a. Transition ducts - larger to smaller
In cases where the duct/plenum interface opening is
larger than the final exhaust duct, measure the perime-
ter/diameter of the duct halfway between the largest and
smallest section (or the average perimeter/diameter). The
nozzle is to be located within 0-6 in. (15.2 cm) of the
duct/plenum interface (not at the point where the
measurement was taken), centered under the final
exhaust duct opening. See Figure 3-1b.
Note: Nozzles to protect ducts with a transition that is
more than 4 ft (1.2 m) in height, will be required to be
positioned in the opening of the transition from the hood
2 to 8 in. (5.1 to 20.3 cm) into the opening using standard
duct nozzle design parameters.
c. Multiple risers
In cases of multiple rises, each riser is protected as an
individual duct. See Figure 3-1d.
PLENUM
P. Figure 3-1d.
Electrostatic Precipitator - Ducts utilizing electrostatic
precipitators must be protected above and below the unit.
Standard duct nozzles are used in this application. See Figure
3-1 e.
006 173PC Figure 3-1e.
P. Figure 3-1b. Plenum Protection
b. Transition ducts - smaller to larger
In cases where the duct/plenum interface opening is
smaller than the final exhaust duct, measure the perime-
ter/diameter of the final exhaust duct. The nozzle(s) is to
be located within 0-6 in. (15.2 cm) of the duct/plenum
interface, centered in the opening. See Figure 3-1c.
The Model 1H nozzle, Part No. 551029, is a one (1) flow
nozzle used for plenum protection. A single 1H nozzle can
protect a plenum (with single or V-bank filters) 10 ft (3.1 m)
long by 4 ft (1.2 m) wide. Dividing the length into sections
equal to or less than 10 ft (3.1 m) in length and positioning a
nozzle at the start of each section can be done to protect
longer plenums.

On V-bank plenums, the nozzle(s) must be located at the
center of the V-bank width, 1/3 of the vertical height of the
filters. On single filter bank plenums, the nozzle mast be
located 2 in. (5.1 cm) from the back edge of the fil:er, 1/3
down from the vertical height. For either application, the
nozzle must be located within 6 in. (15.2 cm) of the end of
the plenum (or module) and aimed directly down the length of
the plenum. 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 3-2.

Note: When protecting appliances which are larger than single
nozzle coverage, multiple nozzles can be used.
Larger appliances can be divided into several modules, each
equal to or smaller than single nozzle coverage. Exception:
Fryers must not exceed a maximum of 864 sq in.
(5574 sq cm).

The range can be equipped either with or without a back-
shelf. Either type requires the same nozzle requirements. The
nozzle must be located 22 in. (56 cm) from either end of the
hazard area centered from left to right. It must be 13 in. to 24
in. (33 to 61 cm) above cooking surface, and aimed at a point
one half the distance of whatever the height dimension of the
nozzle is. When determining nozzle and aim point locations,
both measurements are to be taken from the same end of the
hazard area. Example: The nozzle is mounted 20 in. (51 cm)
above the cooking surface. The aim point from the edge of the
hazard would then be 10 in. (25 cm) which is one half the
nozzle mounting height dimension. See Figure 3-4a. Note:
Nozzles must be placed at or below the shelf, within the nozzle
height limitations.

3. Larger Burner Range (784 sq in. (5085 sq cm) maximum,
28 in. (71 cm) longest side maximum)
One nozzle is available for large range protection: High
proximity.
The Model 2L nozzle, Part No. 551027, is used for high
proximity large range protection. This nozzle is a two (2)
flow nozzle. When using high proximity protection, the
range cannot be under a backshelf. This nozzle must be
located 34 in. to 48 in. (86 to 122 cm) above the cooking
surface, and aimed directly down within the mounting area,
based on the hazard size, as described in the Nozzle
Positioning Chart. See Figure 3-5.

Example: A four burner range has a hazard size of 20 in.
(51 cm) in length and 27 in. (69 cm) in width. Follow down
the Range Length column in the Nozzle Positioning Chart
until you come to 20 in. (51 cm). Continue down this
column until the correct width appears in the width column.
When the width of 27 in. (69 cm) is arrived at, read across
to the radius column to determine the size of radius
allowed, for positioning of the nozzle, from the hazard area
centerline. In this example, the correct radius is 3 in. (8 cm).
The nozzle can be aimed straight down anywhere within a
3 in. (8 cm) radius of the hazard area centerline.

Fryer - Multiple Nozzle Protection
Fryers exceeding the coverage of a single nozzle can be
divided into modules. Each module must not exceed the maxi-
mum area allowed for a single nozzle. However, when utilizing
multiple nozzle protection, the longest side allowed for a fryer
with drip board can be used, regardless of whether the fryer
has a drip board or not.
The maximum size fryer that can be modularized is 864 sq in.
(5574 sq cm).
Design requirements for multiple nozzle fryers are broken
down as follows:
If the fryer includes any dripboard areas, measure both the
internal length (front to back) and width of the frypot
portion. Then measure the internal length and width of the
overall hazard area including any dripboard areas.
Determine the area of both the frypot and the area of the
overall vat by multiplying corresponding length and width
dimensions.
Divide the frypot or overall vat into modules, each of which
can be protected by a single nozzle, based on the maxi-
mum dimension and area coverage of the nozzle as speci-
fied in "Design Chart.'
If the module considered does not include any portion of
the dripboard, use only the maximum frypot area and
maximum dimension listed in the "Design Chart."
If the module considered includes any dripboard areas,
use both the maximum frypot area and dimension listed
in the "Design Chart", and the maximum overall area
and dimension listed in the "Design Chart."
3. None of the maximum dimensions may be exceeded. If
either the maximum frypot or the overall sizes are
exceeded, the area divided into modules will need to be
redefined with the possibility of an additional nozzle.

PIPING LIMITATIONS
Once the nozzle placement and quantity of tanks has been
determined, it is necessary to determine the piping configura-
tions between the tank and the nozzles. This section contains
the guidelines and limitations for designing the distribution
piping so that the wet chemical agent will discharge from the
nozzles at a proper flow rate. These limitations must also be
referred to when selecting the mounting location for the tanks.
The maximum pipe lengths are based on internal pipe volume.
Each size tank is allowed a minimum and maximum total
volume of piping, calculated in milliliters.
There is no need to distinguish between what portion of the
piping is supply line and what portion is branch line. Only the
total volume of the complete piping network has to be consid-
ered.

Design Steps
Step No. 1 Determine number of flow points required based
on duct size, plenum size and type, and size of all
appliances.
Step No. 2 Determine size and quantity of tanks required.
Refer to the chart in "General Piping
Requirements" to determine the maximum amount
of flow numbers allowed per each tank size.
Step No. 3 Layout nozzles, piping diagram, and tank location.
Determine pipe lengths as accurate as possible.
Make certain maximum number of elbows is not
exceeded. Note: Tanks cannot be manifolded
together. Each tank must have a separate
piping network.
Step No. 4 Add all the lengths of each pipe run and multiply
by the mls./ft. listed in the Volume Chart. If the
sum falls within the acceptable range noted in
general Piping Requirements, that pipe size is
acceptable. If the calculated volume is too large,
recalculate the volume using the ml per foot of a
smaller pipe size. Pipe sizes can be mixed but
Rule No. 11 of the General Piping Requirements
must be followed.
Step No. 5 Check to make certain minimum volumes, maxi-
mum volumes and maximum volume allowed
between first nozzle and last nozzle is not
exceeded (Tank Chart). Check each rule in
"General Piping Requirement" to make certain
none have been exceeded. If any requirement is
exceeded, change to a different pipe size and
recalculate.

General Piping Requirements
Split piping and straight piping are both allowed on
a PCL-160, PCL-300 and PCL-460 system.
PCL-600 systems must use split piping only, with no
nozzle located before the split, and with a maximum
of 14 flow points per side. 1/2 in. minimum piping
must be used up to the first split.
Maximum volume for 1/4 in. pipe between a nozzle
and the preceding tee is 410 mIs.
Maximum flow numbers for 1/4 in. pipe is 6.
Maximum number of elbows between a nozzle and
the preceding tee is 5.
Maximum of 25 elbows are allowed in the total
piping system.

Pipe lengths are measured from center to center of
fittings.
The internal equivalent length volume of fittings
does not have to be considered as part of the total
pipe volume.
When utilizing different size pipe in the system, the
largest size must start first and the additional pipe
must decrease as it approaches the nozzle.
Elbow(s) or swivel adaptors located at the nozzles
do not have to be counted in the 25 elbow maxi-
mum requirement.
Reducing bushings are allowed when reducing to a
smaller pipe size.
Additional piping requirements when protecting a
range, wok, or a fryer:
PCL-160 - Minimum of 239 ml and one (1) flow
number required in total system. Of that minimum,
180 ml must be utilized at or before the range,
wok, or fryer.

When gas appliances are used and the flue gases from
the burner are exhausted into the duct, the detector must
be kept out of the air stream of these exhaust gases.
These gases can be very hot and could actuate the
system unnecessarily.
Duct openings that are long and narrow or large enough
to require multiple duct nozzles may require additional
detectors.
Electrostatic Precipitator.
If an electrostatic precipitator is located at or near the base of
the exhaust duct, it is necessary to locate a detector below the
precipitator, at the base of the duct, and also locate one in the
duct, just above the precipitator. See Figure 3-23a.
When installing the detector bracket and system conduit, make
certain they do not interfere with the operation of the
precipitator.

GENERAL
The installation information listed in this section deals with the
limitations and parameters of this pre-engineered system.
Those individuals responsible for the installation of the
KITCHEN KNIGHT II system must be trained and hold a
current PYRO-CHEM certificate in a KITCHEN KNIGHT II
training program.
Pipe and fittings for the discharge piping, conduit (EMT), pipe
straps, pipe hangers, mounting bolts, and other miscellaneous
equipment are not furnished as part of the
PYRO-CHEM KITCHEN KNIGHT II Restaurant Fire
Suppression System. These items must be furnished by the
installer.
Before attempting any installation, unpack the entire system
and check that all necessary parts are on hand. Inspect parts
for damage. Verify that cylinder pressure is within the accept-
able range as shown on the gauge.
CYLINDER INSTALLATION
The cylinder and valve assembly is shipped with an anti-recoil
plug in the valve discharge port.
CAUTION
The anti-recoil plug must remain in the valve discharge
port until the discharge piping is connected to the
valve.
The cylinder must be mounted vertically. The Models PCL-300
and PCL-460 cylinders must be mounted using a Model MB-15
Mounting Bracket Kit. The Model PCL-600 cylinder must be
mounted using a Model MB-1 Mounting Bracket Kit.
The bracket must be securely anchored to the wall using bolts
or lag screws. The wall to which the bracket is attached must
be sufficiently strong to support the cylinder. The bracket
should never be fastened to dry wall or similar material. If this
type of wall is encountered, studs must be located and the
bracket fastened to them. See Figure 4-1.

Multiple Cylinder Installation
1. Multiple Cylinder Actuation Using MCH3/ECH3/NMCH3
Control Head
The Model MCH3/ECH3/NMCH3 Control Head can be used to
pneumatically actuate a maximum of five (5) agent cylinders
with a 16 gram CO2 cartridge. When a control head is used for
multiple cylinder actuation, it cannot be mounted directly onto
a cylinder valve. The control head must be installed remotely
using a Model MB-P2 Control Head Mounting Bracket. The
bracket must be anchored to the wall using bolts or lag screws.
CAUTION
Do not screw the control head directly to a wall as this
will warp the control head, not allowing the mechanism
to actuate.
In order to actuate the agent cylinder(s) from a control head, a
1/4 in. NPT x 450 1/4 in. flare type fitting (conforming to SAE
J513c) or male straight connector (Part No. 32338) must be
screwed into the base of the control head actuator. Pneumatic
tubing or stainless steel actuation hose is then used to connect
the control head to the valve cap assembly of each agent
cylinder valve. See Figure 4-3.
NOTE
Pneumatic tubing (copper) used for remote cylinder
actuation shall have an outside diameter of 1/4 in. with a
minimum wall thickness of 1/32 in. This is commonly
known as refrigeration-type copper tubing. All tubing
fittings shall be of the 1/4 in., 45° flare type conforming
to SAE J513c.
Compression type fittings are not acceptable.
A single Model MCH3/ECH3/NMCH3 Control Head can
actuate:
Up to four (4) cylinders with a maximum of 25 ft (7.6 m) of
copper or stainless steel pneumatic tubing or stainless
steel actuation hose when using an 0-ring (PN 55531)
installed in place of the Teflon washer and the 16 gram
CO2 cartridge.
Up to five (5) cylinders with a maximum of 18 ft (5.4 m) of
copper or stainless steel pneumatic tubing or stainless
steel actuation hose when using an 0-ring (PN 55531)
installed in place of the Teflon washer and the 16 gram
CO2 cartridge.
CAUTION
Confirm the Teflon washer in the control head actuator
assembly has been replaced with the 0-ring (PN 55531)
and the 16 gram CO2 cartridge is installed for 4 and 5
cylinder single control head actuation.
The actuation line must be tested for any leaks by using a
hand held or electric vacuum pump. The pump should be used
to draw a vacuum on the actuation line at the fitting closest to
the control head. A vacuum should be pulled to 20 inches of
mercury. Leaks exceeding 5 inches of mercury within 30
seconds are not allowed. If the gauge on the vacuum pump
indicates a leak in the line, examine the actuation line for loose
fittings or damage. Correct any leaks and retest.

The Model PAC-10 Pneumatic Actuation Cylinder must be
used if more than five (5) agent cylinders require simultaneous
actuation. The Model PAC-1 0 must be used in conjunction with
a Model MCH3/ECH3/NMCH3 Control Head. The control head
is mounted on the Model PAC-10 valve assembly.
The Model PAC-10 is shipped complete with a mounting
bracket. The bracket must be securely anchored to the wall
using bolts or lag screws. The wall to which the bracket is
attached must be sufficiently strong to support the pneumatic
cylinder. The bracket should never be fastened to dry wall or
similar material. If this type of wall is encountered, studs must
be located and the bracket fastened to them. See Figure 4-4.

If the system design requires the use of two control heads for
multiple cylinder actuation, a maximum of 25 ft (7.6 m) of
tubing is allowed between the two control heads and the
PAC-lo cylinder. See Figure 4-5a. If a PAC-lo cylnder is not
utilized, there is a maximum of 25 ft (7.6 m) of tubing for the
two control heads and up to 4 cylinders or a maximum of
18 ft (5.4 m) of tubing for the two control heads and 5
cylinders.
'DETECTOR INSTALLATION
Fusible Link Detection
Fusible links are always used in conjunction with the Model
MCH3 Mechanical Control Head. After mounting the cylinder
and control head, the fusible link line can be installed. The first
step to installing the fusible link line is to install the detector
bracket(s) over all protected appliances and in each duct. See
Chapter III for detector placement guidelines.
Note: Only ML-style Fusible Links can be used.
Connect the fusible link brackets together using 1/2 in. conduit
and the conduit connectors supplied in the detector kit (Model
FLK-1). A PYRO-CHEM KITCHEN KNIGHT II corner pulley
must be used whenever a change in conduit direction is neces-
sary. The conduit is connected to the control head through a
knockout in the upper left-side corner.
In general, fusible links centered in the detector brackets are
connected in series using 1/16 in. diameter stainless steel
cable. The spring plate in the control head maintains tension
on this series of fusible links. If the tension is released for any
reason (i.e., a fusible link separates), the control head will
operate and actuate the system.

Maximum limitations for the fusible link detection line are as
follows:
Fusible links can be installed with or without fusible link hang-
ers (see Chapter II for description).
Fusible Link Line Limitations When Used with Model
EN-MCU3, MCH3, and NMCH3 Control Heads and
CBP-1, SBP-1, and WBP-1 Pulley Elbows
Maximum # of detectors: 20
Maximum length of cable: 150 ft (45.7 m)
Maximum # of pulleys: 40
Fusible Links Without Hangers
Begin installing links at the terminal bracket. The link is
connected to the far side of the terminal bracket using an "S'
hook. The "S" hook must be crimped closed after the link is
installed. A tight loop is then made in the cable and secured by
the crimp provided. This loop is connected to the other side of
the terminal link (see Figure 4-6) and the cable fed through
the conduit to the next bracket. The cable proceeding from the
terminal link will be used to connect the series links (see
Figure 4-7). Series links must be centered in their detector
brackets.
After the last link in the series is connected, the cable should
be fed through the conduit back to the control head. Thread the
cable through the hole in the fusible link ratchet wheel. The line
must then be crimped, and the crimp positioned inside the
center of the ratchet wheel.
NOTE
Crimps must always be used in conjunction with two (2)
cable lengths. Loops are the accepted method of
connecting the cable to mechanical components. The
crimp must never be used on a single cable.
Exception: Single cable crimp allowed in detection and
gas valve ratchet wheel using stop sleeve, Part No.
26317 (Packages of 10: Part No. 24919).
The fusible link line can now be put into a set position by
applying tension to the fusible link line. This is accomplished by
using a 1/2 in. hex wrench on the fusible link line ratchet
wheel. The ratchet wheel will be ratcheted in a clockwise direc-
tion until the spring plate makes contact with the top of the
control head box. The fusible link line is now in a set position.
See Figure 4-8.

Beginning at the control head, feed the stainless steel cable
through the conduit and brackets to the terminal bracket in one
continuous length. Allow approximately 2.5 in. (6.4 cm) of slack
at each bracket for the installation of the Fusible Link Hangers.
At the terminal link, a tight loop is made in the cable and
secured by the crimp provided. The cable is attached to the far
side of the terminal bracket using an "Shook. The "S" hook
must be crimped closed after the cable is installed. See Figure

Center the hanger/link in the fusible link bracket by sliding it
along the link line. This is easily accomplished before any
tension is applied to the link line. Repeat this procedure for all
fusible links.
After the last hanger/link in the series is connected, the cable
should be fed through the hole in the fusible link ratchet wheel.
The line must then be crimped, and the crimp positioned inside
the center of the ratchet wheel.
NOTE
Crimps must always be used in conjunction with two (2)
cable lengths. Loops are the accepted method of
connecting the cable to mechanical components. The
crimp must never be used on a single cable.
Exception: Single cable crimp allowed in detection and
gas valve ratchet wheel using stop sleeve, Part No.

The fusible link line can now be put into a set position by
applying tension to the fusible link line. This is accomplished by
using a 1/2 in. hex wrench on the fusible link line ratchet
wheel. The ratchet wheel will be ratcheted in a clockwise direc-
tion until the spring plate makes contact with the top of the
control head box. The fusible link line is now in a set position.
See Figure 4-8.
Check to ensure that the fusible link hanger(s) remain centered
in the bracket after the fusible link line is set. See Figure 4-12.
NOTE
If wire rope requires splicing, a splice is to be a minimum
of 12 in. (31 cm) from any pulley elbow or conduit adap-
tor to avoid interference.

Thermal Detection
Thermal detectors are always used in conjunction with the
Model ECH3 Electrical Control Head. After mounting the cylin-
der and control head, the thermal detector(s) can be installed.
Install the thermal detector(s) in the plenum area of the ventila-
tion hood over all protected appliances and in each duct. See
Chapter III for detector placement guidelines. Follow the
instructions included with the detector for proper detector
mounting procedures.

Once the fusible link line is set, the control head can be placed
in the set position. Set the control head using the proper
procedure of ratcheting the detection line to raise the spring
plate parallel to the top of the control head box prior to placing
the latching arm in the slide plate. The slide plate is moved
from right to left, ensuring the bolt extending from the cam arm
is in the slot provided in the slide plate. Continue moving the
slide plate to the left until the latching arm is in the locked posi-
tion. Insert the pull pin into the hole in the slide plate above the
latching arm. This will lock the control head in the set position,
eliminating accidental actuation during the rest of the installa-
tion procedure. See Figure 4-13.

GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE
INSTALLATION
WAll gas valves are designed for indoor installation only. All gas
valve installation and testing shall be made in accordance with
the authority having jurisdiction.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of explosion due to leaking gas, make
certain that the gas line is turned off before connecting
the gas valve.
Mechanical Gas Shut-off Valve Installation
TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS: Maximum ambient and fluid
temperature is 120 °F (49 °C).
POSITIONING: Valve may be mounted in any position.
PIPING:
CAUTION
To prevent damage to valve, DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN
PIPE CONNECTIONS. Connect piping to valve in accor-
dance with markings on valve body. Pipe compound
should be applied to male pipe threads only. When tight-
ening pipe, do not use valve as a lever. To avoid strain on
valve, assure all piping is aligned and supported properly.
STRAINER INSTALLATION: For the protection of the gas
valve, install a strainer or suitable filter in the inlet piping, as
close to the gas valve as possible. Periodic cleaning of strain-
ers recommended.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE:
Keep medium flowing through valve as free from foreign
material as possible.
Keep valve filter/strainer clean.
IMPROPER OPERATION:
Incorrect Pressure: Pressure to valve must be within
range specified on nameplate.
Leakage: If leakage is detected, contact an authorized
PYRO-CHEM distributor immediately.
The Model MCH3/NMCH3 Control Head is used to operate the
mechanical gas shut-off valve. This valve is located in the fuel
gas supply line to the cooking appliance(s). The valve body
has an arrow which indicates direction of gas flow through the
valve. The gas shut-off valve is spring loaded and requires five
pounds of force to hold it open. This force is supplied by a 1/16
in. diameter stainless steel cable that is connected to the
control head.
After the valve is installed in the gas line, 1/2 in. conduit must
be run from the top center knockout of the gas valve box to the
lower right-hand knockout in the control head. A PYRO-CHEM
KITCHEN KNIGHT II corner pulley is used wherever a change
in conduit direction is required.
Gas Valve Cable Run Limitations When Used with
Model MCH3, EN-MCU3, and NMCH3 Control Heads
and CBP-1, SBP-1, and WBP-1 Pulley Elbows
Maximum length of cable: 100 ft (30.5 m)
Maximum # of pulleys: 30
Remove the gas valve cover and thread the stainless steel
cable through the conduit back to the control head. Thread the
cable through the hole in the gas valve ratchet wheel. The line
must then be crimped, and the crimp positioned inside the
center of the ratchet wheel.
NOTE
Crimps must always be used in conjunction with two
(2) cable lengths. Loops are the accepted method of
connecting the cable to mechanical components. The
crimp must never be used on a single cable.
Exception: Single cable crimp allowed in detection and
gas valve ratchet wheel using stop sleeve, Part No.
26317 (Packages of 10: Part No. 24919).
At the gas valve, loop the cable through the valve stem and
secure it with the crimp provided (see Figure 4-18).
Figure 4-18. Gas Valve Installation.
002886PC
CAUTION
Do not over-tension wire rope going from control head to
gas valve at gas valve ratchet wheel. Over-tensioning
may cause the valve to not close properly, resulting in
the fuel supply not completely shutting off.
The gas valve line can now be put into a set position by apply-
ing tension to the gas valve line. This is accomplished by using
a 1/2 in. hex wrench on the gas valve ratchet wheel. The
ratchet wheel will be ratcheted in a clockwise direction until the
gas valve is fully open. See Instruction Sheet, Part No. 550571,
included in gas valve shipping assembly, for detailed informa-
tion. Secure the gas valve cover plate to the gas valve box with
the four (4) screws provided. The gas valve line is now in a set
position. See Figure 4-19.

SYSTEM CHECKOUT AFTER
INSTALLATION
1. Model MCH3/NMCH3 Mechanical Control
Head
Before putting the system into service, all components must
be checked for proper operation. During this checkout,
assure that the carbon dioxide pilot cartridge is not installed
in the control head actuator. Remove the pull pin from the
hole in the slide plate.
To check satisfactory operation of the control head, cut the
terminal link or the "5" hook holding the link. This will relieve
all tension on the fusible link line and operate the control
head. The slide plate will move fully to the right. The gas
valve cable will be released, causing the gas valve to close.
Any auxiliary equipment connected to the dry contacts of
the solenoid monitor and/or the Electrical (Snap-Action)
Switch in the control head will operate.
If any of these events fail to occur, the problem must be inves-
tigated and repaired.
Repair the terminal link and put the fusible link line back into
the set position. This is accomplished by using a 1/2 in. hex
wrench on the fusible link line ratchet wheel. The ratchet wheel
will be ratcheted in a clockwise direction until the spring plate
makes contact with the top of the control head box.
Using a felt-tipped marker, write the date of installation on
the carbon dioxide pilot cartridge. Screw the cartridge into
the control head actuator until hand-tight. Never use a
wrench to tighten the cartridge into the actuator.
Remove the pull pin from the hole in the slide plate and
install the control head cover. Insert the pull pin through the
local manual control handle and into the bushing. Secure
the pull pin with the nylon tie provided.
2. Model ECH3-24/120 Electrical Control
Head.
Before putting the system into service, all components must be
checked for proper operation. During this checkout, assure that
the CO2 pilot cartridge is not installed in the control head actu-
ator. Remove the pull pin from the hole in the slide plate.
CAUTION
Make certain to remove the CO2 cartridge. Failure to
do so during testing will result in system actuation.
Testing Thermal Detectors
Remove the electric control head cover.
Test each detector individually and reset control panel and
recock release mechanism after each test. (Refer to proper
AUTOPULSE control panel reset instructions).
Using a heat gun positioned approximately 12 in. from the
detector, apply heat to the detector for about one minute.
Overheating will cause damage to the detector. Applying
heat to the detector will cause the control head to operate
or will cause the AUTOPULSE control panel to go into an
alarm condition, and activate the control head. When the
control head operates, the following will take place: a) The
slide plate will move fully to the right; b) The indicator light
on the solenoid monitor will go out; and c) Any auxiliary
equipment connected to the dry contacts of the solenoid
monitor and/or the snap-action switch in the control head
will operate. If any of these events fail to occur, the prob-
lem must be investigated and repaired.
After all the thermal detectors have cooled, the
AUTOPULSE control panel can be reset (refer to proper
AUTOPULSE control panel reset instructions) and the
control head can be placed in the set position. To set the
control head, the slide plate must be moved from right to
left, ensuring the bolt extending from the cam arm is in the
slot provided in the slide plate. Continue moving the slide
plate to the left until the latching arm is in the locked posi-
tion.

Fusible Link Detector Installation
The Model EN-MCU3 Enclosure can support a fusible link
detection system. The Model EN-S Enclosure cannot support a
fusible link detection system and must be used in conjunction
with the Model EN-MCU3 Enclosure or a Model
MCH3/ECH3/NMCH3 Control Head.
After mounting the enclosure, the fusible link line can be
installed. The first step to installing the fusible link line is to
install the detector brackets. These brackets must be installed
in the plenum area of the ventilation hood over all protected
appliances and in each duct. See Chapter III for detector
placement guidelines. Connect the fusible link brackets
together using 1/2 in. EMT conduit and the conduit connectors
supplied in the detector kit (Model FLK-1/1A). PYRO-CHEM
KITCHEN KNIGHT II corner pulleys must be used whenever a
change in conduit direction is necessary. The conduit is
connected to the enclosure through a top knockout.
See Fusible Link Detector Installation Section of this chapter
(pages 4-4 - 4-7) for fusible link installation guidelines. Before
attaching the stainless steel cable to the fusible link line ratchet
wheel, it must be run below the fusible link line pulley in the
enclosure. See Figure 4-32.

Setting the Model EN-MCU3
After the last link in the series is connected, the cable should
be fed through the conduit back to the Model EN-MCU3. It
must be fed under the fusible link line pulley and through the
hole in the fusible link ratchet wheel. The line must then be
crimped, and the crimp positioned inside the ratchet wheel.
NOTE
Crimps must always be used in conjunction with two
(2) cable lengths. Loops are the accepted method of
connecting the cable to mechanical components. The
crimp must never be used on a single cable.
Exception: Single cable crimp allowed in detection and
gas valve ratchet wheel using stop sleeve, Part No.
26317 (Packages of 10: Part No. 24919).
The fusible link line can now be put into a set position by
tensioning the fusible link line. This is accomplished by using a
1/2 in. hex wrench on the fusible link line ratchet wheel. The
ratchet wheel will be ratcheted in a clockwise direction until the
spring plate is parallel to the top of the enclosure. The fusible
link line is now in a set position.
Once the fusible link line is set, the Model EN-MCU3
Enclosure can be placed in the set position. To set the Model
EN-MCU3, the slide plate is moved from right to left, ensuring
the bolt extending from the cam arm is in the slot provided in
the slide plate. Continue moving the slide plate to the left until
the latching arm is in the locked position. Insert the pull pin into
the hole in the slide plate above the latching arm. This will lock
the control mechanism in the set position, eliminating acciden-
tal actuation during the rest of the installation procedure. See
Figure 4-32.
Remote Pull Station Installation
The Model RPS-M Remote Mechanical Pull Station is used for
remote manual actuation of the Model EN-MCU3 It is to be
located near an exit in the path of egress from the hazard.
Height and location of pull station should be determined in
accordance with the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
The Pull Station is connected to the Model EN-MCU3 using
1/16 in. diameter stainless steel cable. The cable enters the
Model EN-MCU3 through a knockout in the top of the enclo-
'sure. See Figure 4-32.
See Remote Pull Station Installation Section of this chapter for
remote pull station installation guidelines.

REV. 5
Gas Shut-off Valve Installation
The Model EN-MCU3 can be used to operate a mechanical
gas shut-off valve. This valve is located in the fuel ças supply
line to the cooking appliance(s). The valve body has an arrow
which indicates direction of gas flow through the valve. The gas
shut-off valve is spring loaded and requires five pounds of
force to hold it open. This force is supplied by a 1/16 in. diame-
ter stainless steel cable that is connected to the Model EN-
MCU3.
See 'Gas Shut-off Valve Installation" (page 4-11) section of this
chapter for gas valve shut-off installation guidelines.
After the valve is installed in the gas line, 1/2 in. conduit must
be run from the top center knockout of the gas valve box to the
'top or bottom knockout in the enclosure. See Figure 4-31. A
PYRO-CHEM KITCHEN KNIGHT II corner pulley is used wher-
ever a change in conduit direction is required.
Remove the gas valve cover and thread the stainless steel
cable through the conduit back to the Model EN-MCU3. If the
cable enters the enclosure through the bottom knockout, the
cable must be run over the gas valve line pulley (see Figure 4-
'33). If the cable enters the enclosure through the top knockout,
the cable must be run under the gas valve line pulley (see
'Figure 4-34). Thread the cable through the hole in the gas
valve ratchet wheel. The line must then be crimped, and the
crimp positioned inside the center of the ratchet wheel.
CAUTION
The gas valve cable must always utilize the gas valve
pulley and exit the top or bottom of the enclosure.
The gas valve cable cannot exit the side of the
enclosure.
At the gas valve, loop the cable through the valve stem and
secure it with the crimp provided (see Figure 4-18, page 4-11)
The gas valve line can now be put into a set position by apply-
ing tension to the gas valve line. This is accomplished by using
a 1/2 in. hex wrench on the gas valve ratchet wheel. The ratchet
wheel will be ratcheted in a clockwise direction until the gas
valve is fully open. Secure the gas valve cover plate to the gas
valve box with the four (4) screws provided. The gas valve line
'is now in a set position. See Figure 4-33 and/or Figure 4-34.
CAUTION
Do not over-tension wire rope going from
control head to gas valve at gas valve ratchet
wheel. Over-tensioning may cause the valve to
not close properly, resulting in the fuel supply
not completely shutting off.

Cylinder Installation
Single Cylinder Installation - PCL-300/460
The Model EN-MCU3 can be used for single cylinder installa-
tions. It can support either the Model PCL-300 or PCL-460
cylinder assemblies. The cylinder must be placed in the enclo-
sure with the discharge port to the left. No additional mount-
ing bracket is required when the Model EN-MCU3 is used.
In order to actuate the agent cylinder from the Model
EN-MCU3s control mechanism, pneumatic tubing must be
used to connect the actuator to the valve cap assembly of the
agent cylinder valve. A 1/8 in. NPT x 1/4 in., 45° flare type
elbow is included and must be installed in the actuator of the
Model EN-MCU3 Enclosure. See Figure 4-35.
NOTE
Pneumatic tubing (copper) used for cylinder actuation
shall have an outside diameter of 1/4 in. (0.6 cm) with
a minimum wall thickness of 1/32 in. (0.08 cm). This is
commonly known as refrigeration-type copper tubing.
All tubing fittings shall be of the 1/4 in., 45° flare type
conforming to SAE J513c. Compression type fittings
are not acceptable.
Multiple Cylinder Installation - PCL-300/460
The Model EN-S can be used in conjunction with the Model
EN-MCU3 Enclosure or Model MCH3/ECH3 Control Head for
multiple cylinder installations. A single Model EN-MCU3 can be
used to pneumatically actuate a maximum of five (5) agent
cylinders with the 16 gram CO2 cartridge. One (1) agent cylin-
der can be installed in the Model EN-MCU3 Enclosure; the
additional agent cylinder(s) can either be mounted in a Model
EN-S Enclosure or with a Model MB-1 5 Mounting Bracket.
When an enclosure is used, the cylinders must be placed in
the enclosure(s) with the discharge port to the left. No addi-
tional mounting bracket is required when a cylinder is
installed in the Model EN-MCU3 or EN-S Enclosure.
In order to actuate the agent cylinders from the Model
EN-MCU3, pneumatic tubing must be used to connect the
EN-MCU3 actuator to the valve cap assembly of each agent
cylinder valve. Pneumatic tubing or stainless steel actuation
hose must be run from the actuator in the Model EN-MCU3
to the Model EN-S(s) through the side knockouts. A 1/4 in.,
45° flare x 1/4 in., 45° flare x 1/8 in. NPT tee is included with

System Checkout After Installation
Before putting the system into service, all components must be
checked for proper operation. During this checkout, assure that
the carbon dioxide pilot cartridge is not installed in the Model
EN-MCU3 actuator. Remove the pull pin from the hole in the
slide plate.
To check satisfactory operation of the control mechanism, cut
the terminal link or the °S" hook holding the link. This will
relieve all tension on the fusible link line and operate the
control mechanism. The slide plate will move fully to the right.
The gas valve cable will be released, causing the gas valve to
close. Any auxiliary equipment connected to the dry contacts
of the solenoid monitor and/or the Electrical (Snap-Action)
Switch in the Model EN-MCU3 will operate.
If any of these events fail to occur, the problem must be inves-
tigated and repaired.
Repair the terminal link and put the fusible link line back into
the set position. This is accomplished by using a 1/2 in. hex
wrench on the fusible link line ratchet wheel. The ratchet wheel
will be ratcheted in a clockwise direction until the spring plate
is parallel to the top of the enclosure.

FLEXIBLE CONDUIT INSTALLATION
Flexible conduit allows for quicker installations and the conve-
nience of being able to route the cable over, under, and around
obstacles.
Flexible conduit is designed for use with PYRO-CHEM®
restaurant systems. Flexible conduit can be used as a substi-
tute for standard EMT conduit or can be used with EMT
conduit.
Flexible conduit CANNOT be used in detection systems.
Design Requirements
Prior to starting the flexible conduit installation, the detection
system must be complete and attached to the control head.
Flexible conduit cannot be utilized in detection systems.
Flexible conduit inserts, Part No. 434347, can ONLY be used
with the flexible conduit system.
The maximum distance from a PYRO-CHEM control head to
a mechanical pull station is 140 ft (42.7 m) with a maximum
of 360° (for example, 3-90° and 2-45° bends, 2-90° and 4-
45° bends, etc.) bends in the flexible conduit, one pulley tee
(Refer to Design, Installation Manual for detailed splicing
instructions), two splices, and 15 pulley tees. Note: When
installing flexible conduit, make sure to feed wire rope
through conduit directly from the spool of wire rope. DO NOT
pre-cut wire rope. Feeding pre-cut rope through flexible
conduit will cause excessive kinks in the rope, making it diffi-
cult to install.
The maximum distance from a PYRO-CHEM control head to
a mechanical gas valve is 75 ft (22.9 m) with a maximum of
4-90° bends in the flexible conduit and 4 pulley elbows.
Any portion of the flexible conduit system can be substituted
with EMT conduit provided the proper connections are used
to join the two types of conduit.
All bends in the flexible conduit system must have a mini-
mum bend diameter of 6 in. (15 cm).
When the flexible conduit is used to make 90° bends
between a control head and a mechanical gas valve, the
bends must start at the control head. No pulley elbows can
be used between the bends. If more than 3601 of bends are
needed, then pulley elbows can be used.
When the flexible conduit is used to make 90° bends
between a control head and a pull station, the bends must
start at the control head. No pulley elbows can be used
between the bends. If more than 3600 of bends are needed,
then pulley elbows can be used.
Only PYRO-CHEM pull stations utilizing a composite (black)
bushing on the back side of the pull station cover can be
used with flexible conduit.
When not utilizing a conduit offset, Part No. 436063, 2-45°
bends in the flexible conduit are allowed between the strain
relief on top of the control head and the location where the
flexible conduit is supported. Note: This is allowed on pull
station installations only.
When installing flexible conduit, conduit should be secured at
intervals not to exceed 5 ft (1.5 m) and before and after each
bend. Flexible conduit CANNOT slide in the clamp(s) used
for mounting. Make certain mounting clamp(s) do not pinch
the flexible conduit. The following style clamp (P clip), Part
No. 436150, is a suitable type for use on flexible conduit.

Installation Instructions
Note: Do not add any type of lubricants inside or on the flexi-
ble conduit. Make certain stainless steel wire rope is clean and
debris-free.
The flexible conduit should be routed along the same path that
EMT conduit would normally be run. Stainless steel wire rope
should be routed through the flexible conduit as it is in EMT
conduit.
CAUTION
Flexible conduit must not be located within 6 in. (15 cm)
of the hood or in areas exceeding 130 °F (54 °C). Also,
do not route flexible conduit in areas where conduit can
be crushed, pinched, or broken.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
The maintenance information listed in this section deals with
the limitations and parameters of this pre-engineered
system. Those individuals responsible for the maintenance of
the KITCHEN KNIGHT II system must be trained and hold a
current PYRO-CHEM certificate in a KITCHEN KNIGHT II
training program.
SEMI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
Check that the hazard area has not changed.
Check that the system has not been tampered with, i.e.,
nozzles removed, nozzles not aimed properly, piping not
supported properly, blow off caps in place.
3. Check the entire system for mechanical damage.
Check all nozzle orifices to make certain they are not
plugged. Replace blow off caps or 0-ring if necessary.
Note: Rubber blow-off caps that have been installed in
the system for one year or more must be replaced.
Check the solenoid monitor.
CAUTION
Before continuing, remove the cover from the
control head and insert the safety pin in the hole in
the slide plate above the latching arm. This will
secure the system, preventing accidental
discharge.
Disconnect the control head or pneumatic tubing from
the valve cap assembly of each agent cylinder. Remove
the carbon dioxide pilot cartridge in the control head.
Remove the safety pin from the slide plate. Actuate the
control head to ensure it is functioning properly. Make
certain the gas shut-off valve and remote pull station are
functioning properly.
7. Inspect the pulley elbows for excessive grease buildup.
Clean elbows if necessary. Replace fusible links. (They
must be replaced semi-annually per NFPA 96.) Visually
inspect thermal detectors.
NOTE
Methods and frequency of inspection, testing and
maintenance of detectors should be in accordance
with NFPA-72. 11
Reinstall the carbon dioxide pilot cartridge, reconnect
the control head, and replace the control head cover and
nylon tie. See detailed cartridge installation instructions
listed on Page 4-20 (System Installation).
CAUTION
Before screwing the carbon dioxide pilot cartridge
into the actuator, ensure that the actuator has an
0-ring installed. If actuator is utilizing a Teflon
washer, replace with 0-ring, Part No. 55531.
Inspect the cylinder pressure. Tap the gauge lightly to
ensure the needle is moving freely. If the gauge shows a
loss in pressure indicated by the needle being below the
green band, the tank should be removed and recharged
per the SYSTEM RECHARGE section of Chapter VI
(System Recharge) in this manual.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
Inspect as per semi-annual maintenance instructions. Do
not reconnect control head at this time.
Disconnect the discharge piping from the valve outlet.
Using air or nitrogen, blow out the piping. Replace all
nozzle caps.
Fixed temperature sensing elements of the fuxible alloy
type must be replaced, at a maximum semi-annually, or
more frequently if necessary, to assure proper operation
of the system.
Test thermal detectors and remote pull stations per
SYSTEM CHECKOUT AFTER INSTALLATION section
located in Chapter IV (System Installation) of this
manual. Per NFPA 72, two (2) or more detectors per
circuit should be tested. Note individual detector location
and date of testing. Within 5 years, all detectors in
system must be tested.
Replace the carbon dioxide pilot cartridge and 0-ring
(Part No. 55531).
Record the date of installation on the cartridge with a
felt-tipped marker.
See detailed cartridge installation instructions listed on
Page 4-20 (System Installation).

CAUTION
Before screwing the carbon dioxide pilot cartridge
into the actuator, ensure that the actuator has an
0-ring installed.
8. Reconnect the control head. Replace the control head
cover and nylon tie.
12-YEAR MAINTENANCE
Along with the required annual maintenance requirements,
the tanks must be removed from the system, properly
discharged, and hydrostatically tested per the requirements
of NFPA-17A. The tank should be refilled with fresh agent.
NOTE
Refer to the nameplate on tank for hydrostatic pres-
sure requirements.

CHAPTER VI
SYSTEM RECHARGE
GENERAL
The recharge information listed in this section deals with the
limitations and parameters of this pre-engineered system.
Those individuals responsible for the recharge of the
KITCHEN KNIGHT II system must be trained and hold a
current PYRO-CHEM certificate in a KITCHEN KNIGHT II
training program.
SYSTEM CLEANUP
CAUTION
Before attempting any cleanup, make certain that all
fuel sources to the equipment to be cleaned have
been shut off. Make certain that the exhaust hood and
all appliance electrical controls have been de-ener-
gized to avoid any chance of electrical shock resulting
from the cleaning process of electrically conductive
alkaline liquid agent and/or its residue.
Make certain all surfaces to be cleaned have cooled
down to room temperature.
Do not use water to clean any appliances that contain
hot grease or cooking oils. Doing so may result in
violent steaming and/or spattering.
SYSTEM RECHARGE
NOTE
Determine the cause of system discharge and correct
immediately before performing system recharge.
After discharge, inspect the entire system for mechanical
damage. If the tank has sustained any mechanical
damage, it must be hydrostatically tested before refilling.
Disconnect the 1/4 in. actuation tubing or the control
head from the top of the tank valve.
Relieve the pressure from the top chamber of the tank
valve by depressing the core of the valve in the valve
cap assembly. By performing this operation, the valve
will close.
4. Slowly remove the valve and siphon tube. If there is any
residual pressure left in the tank, it will bleed out through
the pressure relief slot in the valve threads.
5. The complete piping system must be flushed after a
discharge. Flushing concentrate, Part No. 79656, must
be used when flushing the system. The concentrate is
shipped in a 32 oz (0.95 L) container. A PCL-160 tank
requires 1/2 of a container. A PCL-300 tank requires 1
container of concentrate. A PCL-460 requires 1 1/2
containers, and a PCL-600 requires 2 containers. To
prepare the system for flushing:
Pour the required amount of flushing concentrate into
the tank.
Fill the tank approximately half full with warm, clear
water. Agitate the tank for a few seconds and then add
more warm water to bring the level to the required fill
line using the measuring stick, Part No. 551039.
Reinstall valve and pickup tube. Hand tighten to 12.5
foot pounds maximum torque.
CAUTION
Do NOT use a wrench or other tool to tighten the
valve. Do NOT use a pipe extension on the valve
outlet for the purpose of providing additional
torque.
Pressurize tank to 225 psi (15.5 bar) at 70 °F (21 °C)
and reinstall to piping network.
6. With nozzles in place, attach control head and manually
actuate the tank. Allow the tank to completely discharge
through the piping network.
7. After the discharge is completed, the entire piping
network must be blown out with air or nitrogen until no
more mist is visual coming out of the nozzles.
8. Remove, clean, and reinstall all nozzles.
9. Remove the tank from the system. Slowly remove the
valve and siphon. If there is any residual pressure left in
the tank, it will bleed out through the pressure relief slot
in the valve threads. The valve and pressure regulator
(located in outlet of valve) must be cleaned and rebuilt
after each discharge. To rebuild the valve, use rebuilding
kit, Part No. 550698. To rebuild the pressure regulator,
use rebuilding kit, Part No. 551061. Each kit includes an
instruction sheet listing detailed rebuilding instructions.
10. Fill tank with required amount of KITCHEN KNIGHT
agent, Part No. 551188 (3 gal) or Part No. 553176
(1.6 gal), using measuring stick, Part No. 551039. Tank
should be filled to a tolerance of —0/+118 in. (-0/+0.3 cm)
from the mark level on the measuring stick.

REV. 3
NOTE
During filling, the agent temperature should be 60 OF
to 80 OF (16 °C to 27 °C).
NOTE
The pressure gauge attached to the tank valve should
not be used to determine when the charging pressure
has been reached. A calibrated external gauge must
be used.
NOTE
The pressure regulator in the valve outlet must be
removed before pressurizing.
Reinstall valve and pickup tube. Hand tighten to 12.5 -
foot pounds maximum torque. Pressurize Shrader valve
assembly with 150 psi (10.3 bar) of nitrogen. Install
recharge adaptor, Part No. 551240, into the valve outlet
and pressurize with nitrogen to 225 psi (15.5 bar)
at 70 OF (21 °C). Wait 10 minutes and verify the pressure
in the tank is at 225 psi (15.5 bar). Relieve the pressure
from the Shrader valve assembly (this will cause the.
valve to close) and then disconnect the recharge adap-
tor. Reinstall pressure regulator into valve outlet.
CAUTION
If pressure is not relieved from Shrader valve assem-
bly before the recharge adaptor is removed, the tank
will discharge.
Replace all fusible links by following the instructions
listed in the Installation Section.
Reset control head(s), accessories, pull stations and gas
valves by following the instructions listed in the
Installation Section.
