Its All About the TUBE

Linear, pneumatic flame detection Bursts at 212F (100C) Tubing can be the detector & the piping network Tubing is durable and flexible Tubing is not conductive or corrosive Good for harsh chemical environments

Direct Low Pressure (DLP) System Tubing is used as a detector and delivery of agent from cylinder Valve is a X-over only to allow for connection of the tubing to cylinder

4 ports on this valve for gauge, P/S, Ball Valve and cylinder
Discharge time is limited due to the x-sectional area of the ball valve orifice.
