MOUNTING COMPONENTS (Continued)
1. Mount each INERGEN cylinder by completing the fol-
lowing:
a. Assemble bracket components. See Parts List,
located in the Appendix Section, for details of cylin-
der bracketing and component assembly.
b. If a reserve system is being installed, mount the
reserve cylinder(s) directly next to the main system
cylinder(s).
c. Securely mount bracketing to rigid wall or support.
d. Fasten cylinder(s) securely in bracketing.
Releasing Devices
Different types of Releasing/Detection systems are avail-
able with the INERGEN system:
– ANSUL AUTOMAN II-C release using thermal detec-
tors with pneumatic actuation.
– AUTOPULSE Control System using electric detection
with electric actuation.
– AUTOPULSE Control System with electric detection
utilizing an ANSUL AUTOMAN II-C release for pneu-
matic actuation.
For detailed information on detection systems, refer to the
following:
Ansul Detection and Control Application Manual
NFPA 72–National Fire Alarm Code
NFPA 70–National Electrical Code
INSTALLING ACTUATION PIPING
Before installing any actuation piping, the piping design
must be determined. This will confirm that the lengths of
actuation piping does not exceed the maximum allowable.
General Piping Requirements
1. Use only 1/4 in. Schedule 40 black iron, hot-dipped
galvanized, chrome-plated, or stainless steel
pipe/braided hose and fittings conforming to ASTM
A120, A53, or A106.
2. The maximum length of all 1/4 in. Schedule 40 pipe is
100 ft. (30.5 m).
3. Before assembling the pipe and fittings, make certain
all ends are carefully reamed and blown clear of chips
and scale. Inside of pipe and fittings must be free of oil
and dirt.
4. The piping and fitting connections must be sealed with
pipe tape. When applying pipe tape, start at the sec-
ond male thread and wrap the tape (two turns maxi-
mum) clockwise around the threads, away from the
pipe opening.
NOTICE
Do not allow tape to overlap the pipe
opening, as this could cause possible
blockage of the gas pressure. Thread
sealant or compound must not be used.
5. Cast iron pipe and fittings are not acceptable.
6. Actuation piping must be rigidly supported by UL listed
hangers as described on Page 6-6.

Installation
CAUTION
Do not remove the safety shipping caps at this
time. They are provided to prevent accidental actu-
ation and discharge during shipping and handling.
If valve assembly is accidentally operated, velocity
of unrestricted escaping gas is forceful enough to
cause injury, especially about the face and head.
CAUTION
Proper fasteners must be used when mounting
cylinder bracketing to wall or support. Failure to
properly mount could cause cylinder movement
upon discharge.
