I n May 2016, Pyro-Chem released Bulletin No. 2016122, which offered the use of the Stainless Steel
Scissor Linkage and Brackets in their Fire Suppression Systems. The allowance of scissor linkage
provides an additional means for easier installation of the detection line while using a continuous run of
cable.
Bulletin No. 2016122 also allows for the use of SL style Fusible Links to be used. After additional testing,
a second bulletin was released in June 2017, Bulletin No. 2017120, announcing that the Stainless Steel
Scissor Linkage could also be used in existing Pyro-Chem 8" and 10" detector brackets. This additional
option allows for easier retro-fitting of existing systems and easier maintenance.
Heiser is now pleased to announce that the ProTex II Restaurant Fire Suppression System has adopted
these added options using the approved parts listed below:

All duct protection is UL listed without limitation of maximum

duct length (unlimited length). This includes all varieties of
16"
ductworks both horizontal and vertical including ducts that run at
angles to the horizontal and ducts with directional bends.
Duct protection requires that a nozzle be positioned to discharge

into the duct. Two nozzles are available for duct protection. Figure 3-3: Maximum cylindrical duct diameter of 16"

When two (2) NL2D duct nozzles are used to protect a single duct,
the cross sectional area of the duct must be divided into two equal
areas. The nozzle must then be installed in the center of the area it
protects and aimed directly into the duct opening.
Transition Ducts
The protection of non-standard ducts should be reviewed by the

authority having jurisdiction. Transition ducts should be protected
as follows:
Figure 3-5: Transition Duct - Smaller to Larger
Multiple risers
In cases of multiple risers, each riser is protected as an individual

duct. See Figure 3-6.

NOTE
When protecting appliances which are larger than single

the Range Length column in the Nozzle Positioning Chart until you come to 20". Continue
down this column until the correct width appears in the width column. When the width of
27" is arrived at, read across to the radius column to determine the size of radius allowed, for
positioning of the nozzle, from the hazard area centerline. In this example, the correct radius
is 3" . The nozzle can be aimed straight down anywhere within a 3" radius of the hazard area
centerline.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before proceeding, CAREFULLY read all instructions, including
all CRITICAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS.
General Requirements
1. The agent distribution hose (included in the agent distribution
hose and restraining cable kit (P/N 435982), is ½" diameter ×
60" long and is provided with two (2) male NPT swivels for
ease of installation.
2. Maximum of six (6) agent distribution hoses can be used in
each agent distribution piping network on L4600 and L6000
systems and a maximum of three (3) agent distribution hoses
can be used in each agent distribution piping network on
L1600 and L3000 systems. Figure 4-23: Overhead View of Layout
3. Agent distribution hose can only be used for castered Restraining Cable Installation

end fitting opening.
2. All connections of distribution piping to agent distribution
hose for castered appliances, with distribution nozzles
installed/affixed to the appliance, must be located behind the
cooking equipment in an area protected from obstructions and
possible wear or damage.
3. 3/8" Schedule 40 pipe will need to be run from the hose
connection to the distribution nozzle(s) installed/affixed to
the appliance. Pipe must be installed and adequately secured
at a height at or below the hazard surface of the appliance. See
Figure 4-27. Figure 4-24a: Restraining Cable - Wall-Mounted Option
4. All existing distribution pipe and fitting limitations must be
observed and followed. Each flex distribution hose used is to
be considered as 300 ml when calculating the milliliters per
system.
5. All hose-to-pipe connection fittings are to be oriented in a
vertical down position.
6. The hose connections must be positioned below an elevation
where the hose could be exposed to the radiant or convected
heat generated by normal cooking operations (such as the
horizontal plane of appliance's hazard surface), or to heat from
appliance exhaust. As a minimum height, the hose connection
shall be no lower than 30" from the floor. The distribution
piping shall be supported and secured per local plumbing
practices.
7. Hose ends are to be offset 6" - 8" center to center of fittings (see
Figure 4-23) to maximize hose life expectancy and facilitate
appliance movement. With the appliance in its normal
operating position, check the hose bend to make certain the
2015-DEC-1, Rev D
7. Attach one of the snap hooks (included in the agent

distribution hose and restraining cable kit (P/N 435982) on the
end of the restraining cable to the wall bracket and the other
snap hook to the eye-bolt. See Figure 4-26. After snap-hooking
the assembly, seal the restraining cable loops to the wall

1. The restraining cable must be connected from the appliance

to the wall or some other structurally sound object capable of
restraining the castered appliance from being able to be pulled
or pushed out to a point that will result in strain or stress to
the agent distribution hose.
2. The restraining cable should be installed in line with the agent
distribution hose.
3. For sheet metal covered walls, the restraining cable assembly
includes four (4) ¾" × #8 self tapping sheet metal screws, and a
restraining cable bracket. Securely attach the restraining cable
bracket to the sheet metal covered wall using the ¾" × #8 self
tapping metal screws provided.

Installation Instructions
NOTE
Do not add any type of lubricants inside or on the flexible
conduit. Make certain 1/16" stainless steel cable is clean and
debris-free.
The flexible conduit should be routed along the same path that
½" EMT Conduit would normally be run. 1/16" stainless steel cable
should be routed through the flexible conduit as it is in ½" EMT
Conduit. Figure 4-37
CAUTION 3. Unscrew the nut from the conduit connector (P/N 800) and
remove the compression ring. Discard ring. See Figure 4-38.
Flexible conduit must not be located within 6" of the hood or
in areas exceeding 130 °F. Also, do not route flexible conduit
in areas where conduit can be crushed, pinched, or broken.
Flexible conduit can be used to connect a MCH2 Mechanical

Control Head or a ENMCU2 Master Enclosure to a RPSM Remote
Mechanical Pull Station or mechanical gas valves.
Before starting the system installation, take a few minutes to

plan the layout of the system. This will minimize the amount of
components needed to complete the installation. Once the path Figure 4-38
of the flexible conduit has been determined, verify that the layout
does not exceed the design requirements. 4. Thread the 1/16" stainless steel cable through the conduit
connector (P/N 800) and flexible conduit insert (P/N 434347).

12-YEAR MAINTENANCE
Along with the required annual maintenance requirements, the
cylinders (and, if part of the system, the PAC100) must be removed
from the system and properly discharged. All cylinder and hose
assemblies must be hydrostatically tested to the factory marked
pressure, per the requirements of NFPA-17A. The cylinder should be
recharged, per Chapter VI-System Recharge of this manual.
NOTE
Refer to the label on the cylinder for hydrostatic pressure
requirements.
CAUTION
Be careful when handling and transferring wet agents because
they are caustic. Wear goggles at all times. If you get any agent
into your eyes, flush them with clean water for 15 minutes and
contact a physician. If you get any agent on your skin, flush it
with cold water to prevent irritation. The agent is electrically
conductive. You must clean up all agent discharged around
electrical appliances before you turn the power back on.
