WHY USE WET CHEMICAL?
Food industry change from animal fats to vegetable oils
Higher temperature oils result in greater fire risk
Improved appliance design & insulation
Slower to cool, harder to prevent re-flash
Dry chemical failing to meet the challenge
Ineffective on real world fires
New UL 300 standard introduced (1994)
More rigorous testing parameters
Longer pre-burn
Additional splash tests

– Refer to DIOM for specific detector ratings
• Proper Placement
– One detector per appliance – minimum
– Exception for appliances directly under duct – one detector for
both, detector must be 0 to 12” (0.3 m) into duct
– Maximum 54” x 54” per detector
– Place in path of hot cooking exhaust gases for quick response
– Do not place in path of appliance combustion flue gases

INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
Table 5-1. Preventive Maintenance Schedule
321
OWNER’S MONTHLY INSPECTION
Table 5-2. Owner’s Monthly Inspection
Check Procedure
Inspect all system components, agent distribution pipe, and conduit runs for physical
damage and/or displacement.
Inspect all nozzles to see if foil seal caps (if applicable) are in place. Check for
possible obstructions to the discharge of the wet chemical.
Inspect all detectors (Fusible-links and Thermo-bulbs) for contamination. If
contamination is found, contact an authorized Kidde/Badger Distributor for service.
Inspect each Cylinder and Valve Assembly. The pointer on the pressure gauge should
be in the “green” range. The cylinder should not show evidence of corrosion or
damage.
Inspect manual pull stations are unobstructed and in clear view and labeled for
intended use.
Inspect all tamper seals are intact and the system is in a ready condition.
322
SEMI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
Table 5-3. Semi-Annual Service Procedure
323
SEMI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
Preparation Inspection
Disconnect actuation line between control head and 1st SVA

• Cylinders properly pressurized, no damage or corrosion
• Actuation tubing & hose intact
• Piping secure & unobstructed
• Nozzle aim correct, caps secure & seals intact
• Detectors properly located, suitable temp rating 324
SEMI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
Preparation Inspection
Verify:
• Pull stations unobstructed & tamper seals intact
• No damage to any system components
• All components per listed manual
• Mechanical lines unobstructed
• Corner pulley & detector bracket openings free of grease
• Warning signs visible & legible
• Wiring code compliant, no ground faults or shorts

– Get signatures
326
12 YEAR MAINTENANCE
• Procedures done in addition to semi-annual requirements
• Refer to NFPA 17A & NFPA 96 for maintenance requirements
Remove and discard the wet chemical from the cylinder. Paragraph 5-2.3.3.3
Visually inspect the entire inside surface of the cylinder, per CGA
pamphlet C-6.
327
12 YEAR MAINTENANCE
• Always secure cylinder while working on it under pressure
• Safely discharge and discard wet chemical
• Remove valve and siphon tube assembly
• Inspect inside and outside surface of cylinder for signs of
corrosion or damage
• Installed cylinders must be hydrostatically tested every 12
years per NFPA requirement - use licensed hydrotest facility
• Refer to DOT/TC requirements for hydrotest requirements
for transporting pressurized cylinders
• Rebuild cylinder valve & XV/UCH cartridge receiver
• Replace agent - always use new Kidde/Badger wet chemical 328
12 YEAR MAINTENANCE
• Rebuild cylinder valve
333
EXAM
• Open book / Open notes – work alone
• 80% or better for certification
– Read and work carefully
– Review questions thoroughly - PAY ATTENTION!
• Put your name & your company’s name on the
answer sheet
• Hand in the exam
