KIDDE FIRE SYSTEMS’ HIGH-PRESSURE CARBON DIOXIDE
(CO2) FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS USE A FORGED BRASS DISCHARGE VALVE TO DISPENSE CO2 FROM THE 75-LBM OR 100-
LBM CAPACITY CYLINDER ASSEMBLIES. A US DOT COMPLIANT
SAFETY RELIEF DEVICE, PROTECTING THE CYLINDER FROM OVER
PRESSURIZATION, IS PROVIDED AS PART OF THE DISCHARGE VALVE
ASSEMBLY. A SIDE PORT FUNCTIONS AS A FILL CONNECTION OR AS
AN ATTACHMENT POINT FOR A COMPATIBLE CONTROL HEAD. SINCE
THE CO2 IS STORED UNDER ITS OWN VAPOR PRESSURE, A PRESSURE GAUGE IS NOT PROVIDED.
THE DISCHARGE VALVE CANNOT DISPENSE THE CYLINDER CONTENTS WITHOUT A PROPERLY ATTACHED DISCHARGE HEAD. A DISCHARGE FLEX HOSE CONNECTS THE DISCHARGE HEAD TO THE
SYSTEM MANIFOLD. ALTERNATIVELY, A SWIVEL ADAPTER MAY BE
USED IN PLACE OF A DISCHARGE FLEX HOSE TO CONNECT TO THE
SYSTEM MANIFOLD.
THE DISCHARGE VALVE IS PROVIDED AS PART OF THE HPCO2
CYLINDER ASSEMBLY. A DISCHARGE HEAD AND FLEX HOSE NEED
TO BE ORDERED FOR EACH CYLINDER ASSEMBLY
