Note: 

 

When  connecting  an  ECS  Protector  Nitrogen  Generator  to  an  existing  dry  pipe/preaction  fire  sprinkler  system,  the       
existing fire sprinkler system(s) must be limited to a maximum leak rate of less than 3 psig within a 24 hour period, per 
system. 

 

The  ECS  Protector  Nitrogen  Generator  facilitates  the 
patented
