EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION <br />The FK-5-1-12 is stored as a liquid in cylinder assemblies designed specifically for the application <br />and charged to a fill density of between 35 Ib/ft3 (561 kg/m3) and 70 Ib/ft3 (1121 kg/m3). To ensure <br />optimal performance, each cylinder is superpressurized with dry nitrogen to 500 psi (34.48 bar) at <br />70°F (21°C). An identification label is affixed to the cylinder body indicating the fill quantity of FK- <br />5-1-12, charging pressure, date of fill, and fill station. The Sv 500 Series supports three cylinder <br />capacities. <br />Fire suppression systems utilizing FK-5-1-12 are designed to be discharged within 10 seconds into <br />a room, area, or enclosure with the structural integrity to retain the agent. The FK-5-1-12 uniformly <br />mixes throughout the protect area achieving a minimum concentration level in accordance with NFPA <br />2001 and/or agency listings. <br />40lb <br />22949 <br />22 <br />10.0 <br />43 <br />19.5 <br />36 <br />16.3 <br />80lb <br />22950 <br />41 <br />18.6 <br />81 <br />36.7 <br />65 <br />29.5 <br />130lb <br />22951 <br />66 <br />29.9 <br />131 <br />59.4 <br />77 <br />35.0 <br />The cylinder assembly is composed of a cylinder, dip tube, and cylinder valve. <br />Cylinder Valve --C. <br />Dip Tub( <br />Cylinder Bracket <br />Cylinder <br />Cylinder Valve: The automatic release of FK-5-1-12 <br />is controlled by a forged brass, differential pressure <br />operated cylinder valve connected to the neck of the <br />cylinder. The valve assembly is shipped with an anti - <br />recoil safety plug installed in the discharge outlet and <br />chained to the cylinder valve. <br />Dip Tube: A threaded, rigid dip tube extends from the <br />cylinder neck down to its bottom. <br />Cylinder: The light walled, welded seam cylinder is <br />manufactured according to the requirements of the <br />U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and <br />Transport Canada (TC) for compressed gas. Internal <br />neck threads allow connection of the cylinder valve. <br />The cylinder is designed for mounting in a vertical po- <br />sition only. <br />DS1258 Revised: 21-Dec-2023 <br />Page 2 of 10 <br />
