Fike P/N Description
85-047 25 mm Recharge Kit* (used on 26 & 45 L containers)
85-048 80 mm Recharge Kit* (used on 83 & 150 L containers)

* Both kits include the friction ring, disc assembly, o-ring and valve core-fill port. (Valve core-fill
port is not shown in illustration.)

Note:
For a detailed procedure on recharging a Fike container w/ an Impulse Valve refer to Fike’s
Recharge Manual (P/N 06-540-3).

ITEMS SUPPLIED WITH CONTAINER

Along with a name plate and siphon tube, all Fike clean agent containers are supplied
with the following:

Impulse Valve
This valve is a rupture disc (metal diaphragm), pressure operated device that allows
the agent to be released from the container and into the protected via the associated
piping network and discharge nozzle(s). (refer to Illustration 1)

Victaulic Nipple and Coupling

Used to connect container to the discharge piping network. (refer to Illustration 2)

For shipping purposes, a baffle plate is inserted into the Grooved Coupling
as a safety device.

ARCHITECT AND ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS

The Clean Agent shall be stored in Fike Clean Agent Storage Containers. The containers
shall be capable of being filled, in 0.5kg increments, to their listed maximum capacity.
The Clean Agent container shall be activated by a signal from the control panel which Illustration 2: Victaulic Nipple and Coupling
is processed by the Impulse Release Interface. This module shall store the power
required to operate the actuator. The valve shall contain a scored, non-fragmenting,
rupture disc to provide an immediate, total discharge of all the agent. HFC-227ea
Clean Agent is stored in the container as a liquid, having a natural vapor pressure of
13 barg at 25°C. To aid in discharge, the container shall be super-pressurized to 25 bar
at 21°C with dry nitrogen. Agent discharge shall be completed in 10 seconds or less.

Clean Agent Storage Containers shall be actuated by an electrical signal that is automatically or manually controlled. Normal
operating temperature shall be 0° to 54°C in any installation.

Clean Agent Storage Containers shall be equipped with a pressure gauge to display internal pressure. This gauge shall be an integral
part of the container and color coded for fast referencing of pressure readings. A Low Pressure Supervisory Switch shall be made
available, as an option. A decrease in internal container pressure from 24.8 to 18.8 bar shall cause the normally opened/closed
Supervisory Switch contacts to close/open, indicating a trouble or supervisory condition, at the control panel.

Clean Agent Storage Containers shall be fastened to a wall, or other secure surface, using an optional mounting bracket that is
designed for the most effective and versatile installation of each container.
