FIKE ENGINEERED NOZZLES FOR FM-200® CLEAN AGENT SYSTEMS

FM-200 is also known by its ASHRAE designation HFC-227ea

DESCRIPTION
The function of the Fike Engineered Discharge Nozzle in a fire extinguishing system
is to distribute the Clean Agent in a uniform, predetermined pattern and concentration.
The nozzles are designed to complete the discharge of Clean Agent in 10 seconds or
less when installed within the design limitations of the Fike Design, Installation and
Maintenance Manual, P/N 06-202 or 06-215 and the Fike Flow Calculation computer
program.

Fike Engineered Discharge Nozzles are available in sizes of 3/8” (10mm) through 2”
(50mm). Each nozzle is available in 180 and 360 degree discharge patterns.

The Discharge Nozzle size refers to the size of Schedule 40 or 80 steel pipe to which it
can be connected. The nozzle discharge orifices are drilled perpendicular to the center
line of the threads. The nozzles are mounted to allow the agent to be discharged on a APPROVALS
horizontal axis.
• UL Listed - Ex4623
• ULC Listed - CEx1136
Nozzle orifices are available in a wide range of sizes to provide accurate Clean Agent • FM Approved - 0Y4A8.AF
flow results. All nozzles have been tested for their ability to discharge the Clean Agent
under extreme conditions.

Nozzle orifice drilling must be done at the Fike factory, or other UL listed nozzle drill station, only after “As-Built”
calculations of the installed piping system(s) have been performed, using the Fike Flow Calculation computer program.
The Fike Discharge Nozzle used shall be Factory Mutual (FM) approved and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed.
