General Description

Reliable Nitrogen Automatic Pressure Maintenance Devices 
are designed to connect nitrogen cylinders to dry pipe and 
preaction systems. The NS-ASAM is designed to connect a 
primary and secondary cylinder or bank of cylinders to sin-
gle or multiple systems, and provides automatic switchover 
between sources. The NS-Pak is a self-contained unit for con-
nection of a cylinder or bank of cylinders to a single system. 
The Nitrogen Regulator reduces cylinder pressure and can 
be connected to the A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device on 
single or multiple systems. Each device includes a low-pres-
sure switch to signal that the nitrogen source is depleting and 
needs service. High-pressure cylinders (not included) can 
typically be obtained from a local source.
