UL-300 Wet Chemical Automatic Fixed Fire Suppression Systems
PIRANHA® Fire Suppression Systems
ANSUL® PIRANHA® systems employ the best firefighting attributes of two extinguishing agents...
• The fast flame knockdown and securing power of wet chemical.
• The fast cool-down capability of water.
Tests using the “Double-Agent” Concept have shown dramatically increased firefighting performance…
• Twice the coverage of conventional single-agent systems
• Cools down cooking oils 15 times faster than wet chemical systems
• Flexible overlapping nozzle coverage for most appliance arrangements
• Smaller and fewer agent storage tanks required per system
New....Agent Distribution Hose
NFPA 17A Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems requires that movable cooking equipment shall be provided with a means to ensure that it is correctly repositioned in relation to the appliance discharge nozzle during cooking operations. In many cases, the appliance discharge nozzle is hard piped to the appliance and renders the movement of the appliance difficult, requiring disconnection of the discharge piping.
The Agent Distribution Hose is designed for use with commercial kitchen appliances manufactured with or resting on casters (wheels/rollers) that have hard piped fire suppression systems.
The Agent Distribution Hose is a component of the suppression system that allows the appliance to be moved for cleaning purposes without disconnecting the appliance fire suppression discharge piping and ensures positive positioning of the appliance nozzle.
