in various locations of the piping system. The valve is used to Listed for use with FM Approved systems
inhibit the discharge of CO2 into an entire system or a specific
area of a system when maintenance of the system or entry
into the protected space is required. The valve is equipped Valve Material
with a locking device to padlock the valve in the open or Corrosion-Resistant Painted Steel Body
closed position. Each valve is equipped with a monitoring 316 SS Ball, Stem, and Hardware
switch to provide constant supervision of the valve at the
control panel with contacts for the open and closed positions. Reinforced Teflon Seats
Install warning sign, Part No. 428974, in an easily visible

The header safety is a device used to relieve high pressure
build-up in a closed section of piping. If actuation pressure
should get inadvertently trapped and should an increase in
temperature cause the pressure to rise to a dangerous level, SAFETY DISC NUT SAFETY DISC
the burst disc in the header safety will rupture, allowing the

Odorizer
Description
The odorizer is used to inject a small amount of wintergreen
scent into the carbon dioxide while flowing through the piping
network. When the carbon dioxide discharges into the hazard
area, it will carry a scent of wintergreen with it. This winter-
green scent is a warning to personnel entering the hazard
area that the area contains a concentration of carbon dioxide
and precautions must be taken, either leave the area immedi-
ately or secure proper breathing apparatus. The internal
