STEP 6 (Extinguisher Kit Mounting)

Insert the extinguisher and bracket kit in the desired location at the rear of the kitchen cabinet (left or right side). Attach with the mounting screws provided (Figure 9).

NOTE: Make sure the ball bearing wheel, cable guide and micro switch have been properly positioned to match up with the rear corner pulley assembly (left or right side mounting).

Spacer tabs are provided for proper positioning of the extinguisher bracket for cabinets with or without top or bottom header boards.

NOTE: The ball bearing wheel, cable guide and/or micro switch may be located on either the left or right side of the mounting bracket for ease of installation.

STEP 7 (Detection Kit Adjustments)

Place the looped end of the detection kit cable on the hook of the cable tension adjuster through Hole C (See Figure 9). Use an S-hook if necessary and make sure the turnbuckle is fully extended.

Adjust the detection kit chain between the two front fusible links so that the links are in the proper position (Figure 6 and Figure 12). After final adjustments have been made, excess chain should be removed.

Pull excess cable through the cable nut until all slack is removed and secure tightly with the set screw (See Figure 10). Make sure the fire detectors (fusible or reusable links) align according to Figures 6 and 12. If necessary, you may use extra S-hooks to adjust proper spacing, however, no more than two (2) S-hooks may be connected consecutively.

NOTE: When extra S-hooks are installed, they should be crimped tightly closed with pliers.

STEP 8 (Piping Kit Adjustments)

NOTE: Ferrules cannot be repositioned after tightening. Therefore, it is recommended that the piping assembly be loosely assembled and checked for proper fit before tightening the fittings.

Piping Kits are shipped pre-cut, however, if required, stainless steel tubing may be cut at either end to fit the installation requirements. Cut stainless steel tubing to fit the piping holes (Figures 7 and 8). Measure tubing 1/4 " longer than the center line of the holes (1/8" longer per side) to accommodate the 90�  bend. However, overall length (O.A.L.) for each tube section must not exceed the minimum or maximum dimensions listed in Figure 11. Tubing on each side of the compression tee should be cut in equal lengths so that the tee is centered between nozzles. When the tubing is cut, make certain all ends are reamed and cleaned of all burrs prior to installation. To ensure proper flow of wet agent through the tubing, it is important that the internal surfaces of tubing are free of any foreign matter. To preset ferrule, insert the tube end into the fitting until it butts against the shoulder and screw the nut down finger tight. All tube joints must be disassembled and inspected for proper make-up before final assembly. Reassemble for final installation by inserting the tube into the fitting body and wrench the nut down easily until a sudden increase in torque is evident. From this point turn the nut an additional 1/4 to 1/3 turn (1 1/2 to 2 wrench flats) to again spring the ferrule into place to seal against the tubing and the fitting body.

For additional piping assemblies see Addendum No. 71758-3 dated August 2000.

STEP 9 (Piping Kit Installation)

Install piping into front Holes A and B (Figure 8) and secure with stauff clamps and screws provided. Attach the flexible hose swivel nut to the brass piping adaptor on the extinguisher. Place a wrench on the hex surface of the valve piping adaptor and a wrench on the hose swivel nut for tightening. Do not attempt to tighten or remove the hose swivel nut without a wrench on the valve piping adaptor. (See Figure 2, Item 10)
