3.2. Location.
Due consideration must be given to all of the following considerations when locating the
STANDPIPE-
PAC™
unit.
3.2.1. Temperature
.
Ensure that the
STANDPIPE-
PAC™
unit is installed in a location that will not drop below +32°F (0° C) at any
time. This may be accomplished by:
Choosing a location that will be supplied with building heat during cold weather, or;
Providing a space heater in the vicinity of the unit when cold weather is expected.
3.2.2.
Engineering Drawings (if available).
If a survey was conducted, and engineering drawings prepared, locate
all equipment per these drawings.
3.2.3.
Proximity.
The
STANDPIPE-
PAC™
unit should be installed in reasonably close proximity to the standpipe
being protected. The most logical location is in the same room as the riser. If necessary, the device may be
installed remotely. Documentation and signage should be clear to identify which equipment in remote locations
is connected together.
3.2.4.
Weight.
Ensure that the mounting surface is capable of supporting the weight of the
STANDPIPE-
PAC™
unit,
with a clear safety margin. Consult a structural engineer when necessary to verify suitability of location.
CAUTION
Understand and follow all safety recommendations when moving heavy pieces of equipment. Equipment may be
easily tipped over when moving. Failure to use caution can result in equipment damage and personal injury.
IMPORTANT
The
STANDPIPE-
PAC™
assembly is designed for use in areas where the temperature DOES NOT drop below
+32°F (0° C). DO NOT install
STANDPIPE-
PAC™
units in areas where the temperature can go below +32°F (0° C).
Failure to comply can result in unit malfunction and damage which is NOT covered by the warranty.
