Firetrace™ Installation Instructions.
Cylinder
When installing the Firetrace™ system it is important that a suitable cylinder location is
selected and that the cylinder is orientated correctly.
The cylinder location should ideally be in a clean area away from direct heat. The cylinder
should not be placed in a location where the ambient temperature is above 80 Degrees
centigrade.
The cylinder should be readily accessible to allow future servicing / inspections and as close as
practicable to the risk area.
The cylinder should be adequately fixed to a suitable load bearing surface.
Wherever possible the cylinder should be
mounted vertically
and in no circumstances should
the cylinder be positioned at an angle of more than 45 Degrees from vertical.
The cylinder gauge should face uppermost to aid inspection.
It is recommended wherever possible that Firetrace cylinders be mounted vertically.
Where vertical locating is not possible the systems can be mounted within 45° of
vertical
.
As indicated in the above drawing when cylinders are fitted at an angle the
gauge must face uppermost.
MOST FIRETRACE SYSTEMS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR
HORIZONTAL MOUNTING.
