UL 1254 Paragraph 28.2.6 states: "The duct length and elevation shall be the maximum specified by the manufactur- er for protection by a singre nozzle and shall also have the maximum number of changes in direction (turns) specified by the manufacturer. Longer lengths of duct and greater number of changes in direction are to be protected using additional duct nozzles.' PYRO-CHEM duct nozzles have not been UL tested to cover any turns in direction in the duct line.The use of 90° and multiple 45°changes that results in a vertical to horizontal change of direction constitutes additional nozzle coverage and dry chemical agent.The nozzle must be centered in the duct and aimed in the direction of the airflow. Protection is also required before and after any obstructions such as fans or dampers in the duct line. If a fan or damper is located at the duct entrance, the nozzle must be placed immediately after the fan or damper, to a maximum of 2 ft. (.6 m) from the duct opening.The entire exhaust ductwork must be pro- tected. FNI PLENUM Figure 3-2c. • 007490 ULEX 3437 CEx732 September 1, 2006 Chapter 3-System Design Rage 3-4 REV.2 •g.
