Total Flooding Fire innovative Pre-Engineered System Design For engine rooms from 1,600 cubic ft. to 3,000 cubic ft. ► Each system includes twin extinguisher tanks, flexible braided stainless steel hosing, two overhead temperature sensors, fire resistant manual release cables, and an engine shutdown ► Four temperature sensors monitor engine room temperature 24 hours per day. When engine room temperature reaches 175°F (79°C), the system will discharge. ► Complete system and components custom fitted for each application ► Exclusive, patent pending safety lock poppet valve that eliminates accidental discharge ► Simple and less costly system installation compared to engineered systems - no third party certification required Extinguisher Cylinders: Steel cylinders, DOT and FM approved for the GA Series working pressure and powder coated red for corrosion protection Safety Lock Poppet Valve: Patent pending system that prevents accidental discharge during shipping, warehouse handling, and installation I_ Braided Stainless Steel Typical Engine Room Twin Extinguisher Cylinders Overhead Temperature Sensors Safety Lock Poppet Valve GA Link: Flexible braided 316 stainless steel hosing with double check valve quick-connect couplings for easy attachment/re-attachment to the cylinder valve Overhead Temperature Sensors: Mounted over the engines to monitor ambient engine room temperature; trigger system discharge upon reaching 175°F (79°C) Manual Release Cables: High temperature, fire resistant manual release cables for manual system discharge; install one at each helm station and one at the engine room exit Engine Shutdown Controls: Automatically shuts down engines, generators, blowers and dampers upon system discharge; 3, 5, or 8 circuit shutdowns Engine Shutdown Manual Release Cable Mounting Brackets: Stainless steel, extra heavy duty, vibration tested mounting brackets; three per cylinder HFC-227ea Clean Agent: Approved for normally occupied areas; world wide accepted clean agent with zero ozone depleting potential Double Check Valve Overhead Temperature Dual Release Adapter ngine Room Protection up to 3,000 Cubic Feet
