to dislodge substantial objects directly in the path of the
discharge. General turbulence in the enclosure may be
sufficient to move light objects, such as unsecured paper.
Ceiling tiles in the vicinity of the nozzles should be clipped in
place to prevent them being dislodged during the discharge.
LOW TEMPERATURE
Direct contact with vapourising liquid Novec 1230 fluid has a
strong chilling effect on objects and can cause frostbite burns
to the skin. The liquid phase vapourises rapidly when mixed
with air and limits the hazard to the immediate vicinity of the
discharge nozzle.
VISIBILITY
Upon discharge some reduced visibility occurs, especially
in humid atmospheres, as a result of the water vapour’s
condensation. The period of reduced visibility is normally
brief.
EXITS
Adequate means of escape from the protected area should be
provided. Doors should open outwards if LOAEL is exceeded
and should be self-closing. They should be arranged to open
easily from the inside and any that need to be secured must
be fitted with escape overrides.

COMPLETING THE SYSTEM DESIGN

Once the programme has completed its calculations and the
Design Engineer has taken account of any warnings and
corrected as required to produce a valid design calculation,
the appropriate discharge nozzles can then be ordered.
The calculated orifice area is used to provide drilling
information from Tables 2-4 to 2-8.
NOZZLE DRILLING DETAILS

Tables 2-4 to 2-8 detail the available orifice drill sizes for
each size and type of nozzle. When ordering it is necessary
to quote the nozzle part number and orifice drill size.
PIPEWORK AND FITTINGS

Pipework and fittings shall comply with the appropriate
national standards, shall be non-combustible and able to
withstand the expected pressures and temperatures without
damage. In respect of pipe material, galvanised or stainless
steel pipe is preferred but black pipe may be acceptable in
combination with the application of an appropriate surface
protection.
Consult ISO 14520 - Gaseous Fire Extinguishing Systems,
EN 15004 - Fixed Fire fighting Systems, FIA Pipe Guidance
Document, or NFPA 2001 Standard on Clean Agent Fire
Extinguishing Systems to determine the grade of pipework
and fittings to be used in the system.
NOZZLES
Nozzles are available in brass or stainless steel, BSPT or
NPT threads with a 180º or 360º discharge pattern. For
further information on nozzle drill sizes and coverage details,
see Section 3 – Discharge Nozzles.
TEE SPLIT DESIGN

All tee outlets must be in the same horizontal plane. The
incorrect orientation of the side and bull tee could result in
the separation of the Novec 1230 fluid from the nitrogen, due
to the greater density of Novec 1230 fluid. The design would
also be outside the parameters permitted by the calculation
software.

PNEUMATIC ACTUATION ARRANGEMENTS

Depending on the configuration and layout of the system, one
of two actuation methods may be chosen:
1. 6 mm pipe
2. Flexible actuation hoses
Notes:
• On actuation systems using 6 mm pipe (see Figure 2-1c) and at the location of the 6 mm tee on the last subordinate,
add 1 off 1/4 in. NPT x 6 mm stud coupling (Part No. 30880061).
• On systems using flexible actuation hoses (see Figure 2-1f) and at the location of the 1/4 in. tee on the last subordinate,
add 1 off 1/4 in. NPT male x 1/4 in. BSPP swivel female adaptor (Part No. 309.013.048).
• On manifolded systems with connected reserves, it is necessary to fit bleed valves (Part No. 302.200.076) at the location of
the pneumatic actuator of the last subordinate container of both duty and reserve actuation lines.

BULK FILLING CONTAINER

Where alternate manufacturing locations order empty
container assemblies for initial filling, Novec 1230 fluid is
supplied in either 1100 kg totes or 300 kg drums. The tote
is reusable. The drums are disposed of after use. The tote
comes complete with forklift pockets and connections located
on top and can subsequently be hoisted. The 2 in. camlock
located on the front of the tote connects to the agent fill
pump. The 1 in. NPT fill head connects to the nitrogen pad
through a two-stage regulator. For the drum, the 2 in. BSPP
connection connects to the agent fill pump. The 3/4 in. BSPP
connection connects to the nitrogen pad through a two-stage
regulator.
For both bulk container types, pressure relief set at 0.20 bar
and a nitrogen pad using a 2-stage regulator set at 0.14 bar
is available and ordered separately as part of the fill station
equipment hardware package. Alternatively, an air dryer can
be utilized.

SAPPHIRE CONTAINER VALVES

• The SAPPHIRE container valve is available in
25 mm and 50 mm sizes, depending on the size of
container used. See Table 3-21.
• The valve is designed for high discharge rates to allow the
full container contents to be released within a nominal ten
seconds. It operates on the pressure differential principle
and is constructed with a brass body and piston.
• The valve operates through an electrical actuator, manual
actuator, pneumatic actuator, or manual pneumatic
actuator. The operation of any one of the actuators
depresses the valve core which relieves pressure above the
pressure differential piston. This allows the valve to open
fully through the pressure in the container.
• A pressure gauge is fitted as standard to provide an
indication of the container pressure.
• A safety burst disc is incorporated in the valve and is
designed to rupture at a nominal pressure of 53.4 bar for 25
bar systems and at a nominal pressure of 60.0 bar (welded
containers) or 65.5 bar (seamless containers) for 42 bar
nominal system pressure at 50 °C reference temperature.
• A low pressure switch (25 bar system with seamless or
welded containers or 42 bar nominal system pressure
with welded containers) or a contacted pressure gauge
(42 bar nominal system pressure with seamless or welded
containers) may be fitted to provide a signal in the event of
a fall in container pressure.
• A pilot port in the 25 mm and 50 mm valves is provided to
allow the container pressure during a discharge to operate
a pressure switch or pneumatic actuators. The connection
is 1/4 in. BSPP for the 25 mm and 50 mm valves. A
maximum of 30 m of pneumatic actuation tubing, with up
to ten subordinate containers may be actuated from one
master container. For additional containers or actuation
tubing, sub-master containers should be created. Refer to
Section 4 - Installation for further information.
• After discharge, the valve requires refurbishment before
refilling.
Note: The nominal burst disc specification can vary in accordance with
approved supplier models used at time of assembly.

ensure the container is secured with the appropriate
container brackets.
• When connecting to the pipework, fit the 50 mm union
adaptor and tighten securely.
• When connecting to a discharge hose, directly fit the hose
to the outlet and tighten securely.
Operating instructions
The discharge valve actuates manually, pneumatically, or
electrically. The discharge valve actuates automatically upon
actuation and discharges agent through the piping system
into the protected area. After discharge, the valve requires
refurbishment before refilling.
Maintenance Instructions
1. Verify that the container is empty.
2. Remove the top cap locking the grubscrew behind the
chain fixing screw.
3. Remove the top cap using a top cap spanner.
4. Remove the shuttle bottom cap using a shuttle wrench.
5. Replace the shuttle o-rings, apply PFTE lubricant to the
shuttle o-rings, and refit the shuttle into the bore of the
valve.
6. Replace the top cap o-ring and refit the top cap to the
valve.
7. Refit the grub screw, chain, and chain fixing screw.
8. Refurbish the valve after each discharge. Replace the
valve when the container is hydraulically pressure tested
(H testing).

BURST DISC
Each valve incorporates a safety burst disc assembly. It is 20 mm
designed to relieve pressure if the container becomes over

pressurized when subjected to temperatures above the
designed storage temperature of the container. The burst
discs can be used on either the 25 mm valve or the M18 X
1.0 6g
50 mm valve.

ELECTRICAL ACTUATOR - FLAMEPROOF (ATEX)

(Part No. 304.205.002)
The ATEX electrical actuator is activated by a voltage signal
from the control panel. The voltage signal opens the solenoid
valve releasing pressure from the top chamber of discharge
valve. This causes the shuttle to actuate and the valve to
discharge. Once the signal to the ATEX actuator is termi-
nated, the solenoid valve automatically closes and the unit
resets itself.
Note: The ATEX electrical actuator and adaptor assembly including the
support bracket (as detailed in Section 3 - ATEX Electrical Actuator - Support
Brackets) are supplied separately for on-site installation as part of the ATEX
container and valve assembly (as detailed in Section 3 - SAPPHIRE Container
and Valve Assemblies) for use with 25 bar systems only.

EXPLOSION-PROOF ELECTRICAL ACTUATOR

(Part No. 453978)
The explosion-proof electrical actuator electrically operates
a total flooding fire suppression system container. A voltage
signal from the control panel activates the explosion-proof
electrical actuator. The voltage signal de-energizes the
permanent magnet, allowing the spring to push and latch the
actuator pin into the fire position. The electrical actuator can
be reset using the supplied reset tool when the voltage signal
terminates.
The explosion-proof electrical actuator connects to the top
of the container discharge valve, between the valve and the
manual actuator.

180 mm
(Part No. 304.209.013 and 436796 for 25 bar and 70 bar
systems)
The cable pneumatic manual actuator (CPM actuator) may
be used to operate the system from a remote position using
a manual release unit that is connected to the CPM actuator
by a wire rope run in conduit. Local manual actuation is also
possible using this actuator. In addition, pneumatic operation
is available through the actuation port in the body of the 136 mm
136
actuator.
The CPM actuator is designed so that it may be fitted to
the top of the valve assembly or used in conjunction with a
removable electrical actuator.
Inadvertent operation is prevented by a safety pin for manual
operation and a disable key for cable operation that has to be
removed before activation.

Flared end fitting

(Part No. 304.207.014)
The flared end fitting provides a smooth transition on the end
of a pipe run for the pull cable. When the wire rope exits the
pipe to connect to lever actuators on pilot cylinders, selector
valves, or globe valves the fitting prevents chaffing of the
wire rope due to sharp edges on the end of the pipe. Use the
flared end fitting on pipe ends any time the wire rope extends
beyond the piping.

The fitting of a low pressure switch to the SAPPHIRE
container assembly is mandatory. The low pressure switch
is factory fitted and must be ordered separately. The device
continuously monitors the container pressure and in the event
of the pressure falling below 34 bar, the switch operates to
provide an electrical signal.
The operating pressure is factory set and no adjustments
may be carried out on-site.
The connection to the switch is 1/8 in. NPT male.

The bracket assembly consists of a nut and bolt with two
bracket straps and a 41 mm x 41 mm back channel, to
securely hold the container in position. Each container
requires two bracket assemblies.
Each strap is notched for insertion into the back channel
allowing for the correct alignment of the container. The
bracket assembly mounts to a rigid vertical surface with
the container assembly resting fully on the floor. Container
bracket assemblies are available for single containers (Part
No. 311700002 to 311700006) and for multi-containers (Part
No. 311700007 to 311700012). Each installation requires
two sets of bracket assemblies. The following table lists the

SELECTOR VALVES (70 BAR SYSTEMS)

The selector valve is used in applications where multiple
areas require protection from a single bank of containers. The
valves are pneumatically operated by a pilot container that
provides the pressure to open the valve.
The pressure enters through the inlet port of the pneumatic
INLET PORT
container. When the selector valve is fully open, the
contained pressure exits through the outlet port. Pressure
from the outlet port is connected through a suitable pilot line VALVE
PNEUMATIC PISTON
to operate the appropriate number of containers required to
protect a particular hazard. Figure 3-80 illustrates a typical
selector valve system.
OUTLET PORT
The following points outline the operation of a typical selector
valve system:
1. The fire detection system in one of the protected hazards
operates.
2. A fire signal is sent to the solenoid on the pilot container
and it operates. At the same time, a signal operates a
second solenoid that connects to the pilot line from the pilot
container. This second solenoid opens and pilot container
pressure passes to the appropriate selector valve. FIGURE 3-79
3. The piston in the pneumatic container operates and opens SELECTOR VALVE
E000907
the selector valve. When the piston is at its fullest travel,
the selector valve is fully open.
4. Pressure passes from the outlet port of the pneumatic
piston to the container bank. This pressure operates the
container bank. The agent discharges through the selector
valve and into the hazard.
The unit is supplied with a non-return valve. The selector
valves are full bore. With each selector valve shipping
assembly, the selector valve solenoid actuator, non-return
valve, and appropriate fittings are included. Order the selector
valve solenoid brackets separately.
If faults or suspected faults arise, contact customer services
to organise a replacement part.
Factory testing
Each selector valve is function tested five times at the
minimum actuation pressure of 60 bar to confirm the correct
operation (open and closing) of the valve and the time
taken to complete this operation. Each selector valve is also
hydrostatically tested to 210 bar. FIGURE 3-80
SELECTOR VALVE SYSTEM
Pneumatic container volumes E001000
The volume of a pneumatic container on a 25 mm to 75 mm

selector valve is equivalent to 14 m of 6 mm pneumatic
actuation line tubing. For a 100 mm selector valve,
the volume equates to 32 m of tubing. See Section 4 -
Installation. These volumes must be deducted from the total

(Part No. 441893)
The placement indicator switch assembly consists of a
monitoring device (Part No. 441857) and a mounting bracket
(Part No. 441884). The monitoring device indicates the
correct placement of the selector valve solenoid actuator and
the nitrogen pilot container solenoid valve. The placement
indicator switch mounts to the electrical actuator, and is
active when depressed. This allows a small electric current
to pass through the end-of-line resistor that enables the fire
control panel to indicate that the electrical actuator is in the
correct position for system operation. If the electrical actuator
is not in the correct position, the placement indicator switch
is open and the current does not pass through the end-of-line
resistor or indicate that the actuator is in the correct position.

SELECTOR VALVE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Relief valve
(Part No. 302.209.021 for 25 and 42 bar systems)
The installation of a relief valve is necessary if the system
requires the use of selector valves. The relief valve is
installed in parallel with the vent valve that vents to the
atmosphere within the closed pipework section. It is designed
to automatically relieve excess pressure that may be created
within the closed pipework section.
An increase in pressure in the manifold due to trapped Novec 210 mm
1230 fluid and high temperature causes the relief valve to

operate and relieve the pressure. It is a requirement that the
outlet of the relief valve is piped to the atmosphere away from
personnel and should terminate in a discharge nozzle.

PLACEMENT INDICATOR SWITCH ASSEMBLY - PILOT

CONTAINER SOLENOID
(Part No. 441872)
The placement indicator switch assembly consists of a
monitoring device (Part No. 441857) and a mounting bracket
(Part No. 441883). The placement indicator switch mounts
to the pilot container solenoid, and becomes active when
depressed. This allows a small electric current to pass
through the end-of-line resistor which enables the fire control
panel to indicate that the pilot container solenoid is in the
correct position for system operation. If the pilot container
solenoid is not in the correct position, the placement indicator
switch is open. This means that the current does not pass
through the end-of-line resistor, and does not indicate that the
solenoid is in the correct position.

Description GAUGE SHROUD
The placement indicator switch (see Figure 3-114) is a

monitoring device to indicate the correct placement of the
system electric actuator. The switch mounts directly to the
actuator, and is active when the sensor switch is depressed,
allowing a small electric current to pass through the REMOVE
end-of-line (EOL) resistor. Passing current through the EOL SHROUD
resistor enables the fire control panel to indicate the actuator

is in the correct position for system operation.
If the electric actuator is not in the correct position, the FIGURE 3-115
placement indicator switch is closed (not active). The current PLACEMENT INDICATOR SWITCH

does not pass through the EOL resistor, and therefore the
fire control panel indicates the actuator is not in the correct 2. Install the placement indicator mounting bracket. See the

! WARNING
Pneumatic pressure testing creates a potential risk of
injury to personnel in the area, as a result of airborne
projectiles if a rupture of the piping system occurs. Before
conducting the pneumatic pressure test, the protected
area shall be evacuated and appropriate safeguards shall
be provided for test personnel.
A test using nitrogen, or a suitable alternative, shall

be performed on the piping network to verify that flow
is continuous and that the piping and nozzles are
unobstructed.” (ISO 14520 and EN 15004)
19. If a requirement at the time of installation, carry out
a purge of the pipework using CO2 from a handheld
portable suppressant connected to the pipework at the
container position. The container must be disconnected
from the pipework during this operation.
If a purge of the pipework is not required or possible at

this stage, ensure that this is reported to the Suppression
Systems Design Engineer so that arrangements can be
made for this to be done at the commissioning stage.
20. Carry out a pressure test on the pneumatic actuation
tubing using a foot pump or a regulated nitrogen supply
(4 bar) to confirm satisfactory operation of the pneumatic
actuators. Ensure that any pressure switches or pressure
trips connected, do not cause unwanted or unexpected
signals or events.

NITROGEN PILOT VALVE

(Part No. 20231)
The valve is designed to pneumatically actuate the master 86
container valve and selector valves. It operates on the
pressure differential principle and is constructed with a brass Ø44.5
body and piston.
The pressure differential shuttle in the valve uses container
pressure to provide positive force and maintain the shuttle in
the closed position. Operation of the valve occurs when the
upper chamber is vented faster than the make up device in
the shuttle can replace the pressure. This causes the shuttle
to actuate and the valve to discharge.
