KITCHEN KNIGHT II Restaurant Fire Suppression Manual
GENERAL
The installation information listed in this section deals with the
limitations and parameters of this pre-engineered system. Those
individuals responsible for the installation of the KITCHEN
KNIgHT II system must be trained and hold a current PYRO-
CHEM certificate in a KITCHEN KNIgHT II training program.
Pipe and fittings for the discharge piping, conduit (EMT),
pipe straps, pipe hangers, mounting bolts, and other
miscellaneous equipment are not furnished as part of the
PYRO-CHEM KITCHEN KNIgHT II Restaurant Fire Suppression
System. These items must be furnished by the installer.
Before attempting any installation, unpack the entire system and
check that all necessary parts are on hand. Inspect parts for
damage. Verify that cylinder pressure is within the acceptable
range as shown on the gauge.
CYLINDER INSTALLATION
The cylinder and valve assembly is shipped with an anti-recoil
plug in the valve discharge port.
CAUTION
The anti-recoil plug must remain in the valve discharge port
until the discharge piping is connected to the valve.
The cylinder must be mounted vertically. The Models PCL-300
and PCL-460 cylinders must be mounted using a Model MB-15
Mounting Bracket Kit. The Model PCL-600 cylinder must be
mounted using a Model MB-1 Mounting Bracket Kit.
The bracket must be securely anchored to the wall using bolts
or lag screws. The wall to which the bracket is attached must
be sufficiently strong to support the cylinder. The bracket should
never be fastened to dry wall or similar material. If this type of
wall is encountered, studs must be located and the bracket
fastened to them. See Figure 4-1.
