Frequent visual inspections are recom-
mended to be initially performed for
nozzles installed in potentially corro-
sive atmospheres to verify the integ-
rity of the materials of construction
and finish as they may be affected by
the corrosive conditions present for a
given installation. Thereafter, annual
inspections per applicable standards
are required, in addition to inspec-
tions required by the authority having
jurisdiction.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and devices
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of any other authorities having juris-
diction. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.
Water mist systems should be in-
spected, tested, and maintained by a
qualified Inspection Service in accor-
dance with local requirements and/or
national codes.

Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Ultra Low Flow AQUAMIST
Nozzles Type ULF AM30 must be main-
tained and serviced in accordance with
this section.
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system
that it controls, obtain permission to
shut down the affected fire protection
system from the proper authorities
and notify all personnel who may be
affected by this action.
Nozzles which are found to be leaking
or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion
must be replaced.
Automatic nozzles must never be
painted, plated, coated, or other-
wise altered after leaving the factory.
Modified nozzles must be replaced.
Nozzles that have been exposed to
corrosive products of combustion, but
have not operated, should be replaced
if they cannot be completely cleaned
by wiping the nozzle with a cloth or by
brushing it with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid
damage to the nozzles before, during,
and after installation. Nozzles damaged
by dropping, striking, wrench twist/
slippage, or the like, must be replaced.
Also, replace any nozzle that has a
cracked bulb or that has lost liquid from
its bulb (Ref. Installation section).
Installation
TYCO Ultra Low Flow AQUAMIST
Nozzles Type ULF AM30 must be
installed in accordance with this
section.
Do not install any bulb type nozzle if
the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the nozzle
held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of
the air bubble is approximately 1,6 mm
(1/16 in.) for the 57
°
C (135
°
F) to 2,4 mm
(3/32 in.) for the 182
°
C (360
°
F) temper-
ature ratings.
A leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT nozzle joint
should be obtained by applying a min-
imum-to-maximum torque of 9,5 to
19,0 Nm (7 to 14 lbs.-ft.). Higher levels
of torque can distort the nozzle inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of
the nozzle.
Type ULF AM30
The Type ULF AM30 AQUAMIST
Nozzles must be installed in accor-
dance with the following instructions:
Step 1. Install the Type ULF AM30 in the

ap plied to the pipe threads, hand-
tighten the nozzle into the nozzle fitting.
Step 3. Tighten the nozzle into the
nozzle fitting using only the W-Type 6
Wrench (Ref. to Figure 2). With refer-
ence to Figure 1, apply the W-Type 6
Wrench to the wrench flats.
