Avenger Clean Agent Cylinders
The cylinder must be installed in an upright position with the valve on the top.
Cylinder Bracket
The cylinder bracket is manufactured from stainless steel band formed to the radius of the cylinder with flanges for bolting to
the continuous slot metal framing channel of 12-gauge steel with corrosion resistant paint. The channel must be supplied by
the installer. The cylinder bracket must be secured to a surface that the bracket will withstand a load up to 5 times of the cyl-
inder weight. This precaution is to have the bracket safely support the weight of the cylinder and the reaction force of the
Avenger 5112 Clean Agent during discharge.

By using Avenger’s Flow Calculation Software, the two-phase and the two-component flow of
agent and nitrogen through the distribution piping network in quasi-steady state from the initia-
tion of the discharge to the final gas blow-down can be estimated and predicted. The cylinder is
equipped with a stainless steel valve that offers excellent flow characteristics for the liquefied
gas, allowing for long pipe runs and a greater coverage area.
The cylinder is equipped with a stainless steel back-pressure type valve in which a piston installed
within the valve is equipped with a rubber seal that keeps the clean agent under pressure within
the cylinder. A small hole in the piston allows the pressure within the cylinder to be equalized on
both sides of the piston. Since the area at the top of the piston is greater than the area at the
bottom of the piston, the net force seals the piston against the valve discharge outlet. When the
cylinder pressure on the top of the piston is relieved by means of automatic or manual activation,
there is only cylinder pressure acting against the piston seal; hence, the piston slides to its full-
open position, allowing cylinder discharge through the distribution piping network.
The cylinder must be installed in an upright position (valve on top) in which each cylinder installa-
tion shall use a top plug adapter. The available accessories include electric solenoid, pressure
gauge, liquid level indicator, and bracket as described below. The clean agent cylinders are manu-
factured, tested, and stamped in accordance with DOT 4BW500 or DOT 4BA500 and EN 14208.
Description Usage
Latching Solenoid To automatically start and operate the clean agent discharge
Low Pressure Supervisory Switch To monitor the internal pressure of the cylinder
Pressure Gauge, 500 psi For quick visual inspection of the cylinder’s internal pressure
Liquid Level Indicator To measure the weight of the clean agent in the cylinder.
Cylinder Bracket To support the weight of the cylinder and the reaction force of the clean agent during discharge
The cylinder is equipped with a 4” stainless steel back-pressure type valve and a 4” Victaulic male
outlet. A piston in the valve bore is equipped with a rubber seal that keeps the clean agent under
pressure within the cylinder. A small hole in the piston allows the pressure within the cylinder to
be equalized on both sides of the piston. Since the area at the top of the piston is greater than the area at the bottom of the
piston, the net force seals the piston against the valve discharge outlet. When the cylinder pressure on the top of the piston
is relieved by means of automatic or manual activation, there is only cylinder pressure acting against the piston seal; hence,
the piston slides to its full-open position, allowing cylinder discharge through the distribution piping network.
Attached to the bottom of the cylinder valve is a stainless steel siphon tube, which is straight and runs from the top of the
cylinder to the bottom of the cylinder. The cylinder must be installed in an upright position (valve on top). Each cylinder in-
stallation shall use a top plug or a top plug adapter. The electric solenoid requires 24 VDC @ 15 Watts.
The cylinder is equipped with a 500 psi pressure gauge for quick visual inspection of the cylinder’s internal pressure. A Liquid
Level Indicator is available as an option for measurement of the weight of the clean agent in the cylinder and is highly recom-
mended for ease of maintenance.

NIPPLE CAP
A valve cap is important on a Schrader valve because if one is not fitter, dirt and water can enter the
inside of the valve stem, potentially jamming it or contaminating the sealing surfaces and causing a
leak. The cap helps prevent air from escaping from a leaking valve core.
The valve core has a seal which is attached to a pin. When you push the Nitrogen (N2) line hose onto
the valve, it presses on the pin and it opens the valve to allow the Nitrogen in. The valve ensures that
the Nitrogen already in the cylinder is retained.
Features:
Precisely Designed
Rust Proof
Durable Finish Standards
DESCRIPTION
The Pressure Gauge and Pressure Supervisory Switch Guards provide increased safety, flexibility and serviceability when
used in valve/cylinder assemblies. They are made of brass material and protect the pressure gauge and pressure supervi-
sory switch from impacts that may cause a leak. The Pressure Gauge and Pressure Supervisory Switch Guards also incor-
porate a no loss connection which allows for the pressure gauge to be replaced easily and safely without discharging the
cylinder.

used in processes which contain chlorides and/or halides. It also provides higher creep, stress-to-rupture and tensile
strength at elevated temperatures.
FEATURES
SPECIFICATIONS
The Latching Solenoid is utilized to open a Schrader Valve on the top fitting connector of the
cylinder valve. The application provides a quick reaction and high latching power used with the
Avenger 5112 Fire Extinguishing Liquid Agent.
A latching solenoid with a discretionary nearby manual control head is the best answer for the
application. The actuator is held in the latching position without power until a flag from the
operator discharge control board removes the permanent magnet. When discharged, the
latching solenoid opens the cylinder valve enabling the quenching medium to release from the
cylinder into the system. The latching solenoid is designed with an emergency release local
manual control to manually force the pin to depress the cylinder valve to release the extin-
guishing medium when needed. In order to reset the system, the solenoid is to be manually
returned to the latched position.
This custom latching solenoid designed specifically for fire protection systems is UL listed and
tested in accordance with UL 508.

CHECK VALVE
The check valves are utilized when at least two agent storage cylinders are manifolded together with a single release pipe
design. The purpose is to prevent the loss of agent if a cylinder is not present at the time of system discharge and to an-
ticipate reverse flow of agent into different cylinder connected to the manifold. All parts of the check valve are crafted of
metal for strength and protection against consumption. The metal to metal fixing range of the circle and seat is precisely
lapped, giving a tight close-off of both gas and fluid.
SHUTTLE VALVE
The brass shuttle valve is utilized to associate two cylinders - main and reserve - to a typical release pipe and nozzle(s).
The shuttle valve prevents agent flow from a reserve cylinder from entering the main cylinder during discharge.

DESCRIPTION
Instructional Signs should be supplied in order to provide a system in which the function of all devices is easy to under-
stand. Avenger Systems offers several standard signs to comply with NFPA and other industry requirements. All signs are
made of durable plastic and backed with a strong adhesive for easy installation. Signs are typically installed at all entrances
[e.g. CAUTION—Room Protected by FK-5-1-12] and near any devices for which additional explanation is helpful. Custom
instructional signage is available upon request.
Avenger Systems offers 3 additional standard CAUTION signs to comply with NFPA and
AHJs to provide caution and direction to various system component devices. All signs are
made of durable plastic and backed with a strong adhesive for easy installation. All signs
have a dimension of 3-1/2” x 7-1/2” x 1/16” with white lettering on a red background.
DESCRIPTION
The Liquid Level Indicator is a simple, manually-operated device that allows one to determine the amount of liquid agent in
vertically-mounted agent cylinders. Once the liquid level is determined it can be used to determine the weight of the liq-
uid agent present in the cylinder.
Operation
A magnet equipped float moves with the liquid level along the unit stem. Level readout is obtained by simply removing the
protective cap and pulling out a calibrated tape until magnetic interlock with the float is felt. With the tape in this position,
the readout is obtained at the point where the tape emerges from the unit housing. With the graph (per cylinder size), the
tape reading is converted to lbs. of Clean Agent in the cylinder.
Features
Reduced maintenance time - weight in a cylinder can be determined in a fraction of the time it would take to remove and
weigh it.
Continuous fire protection - use of the liquid level indicator does not require removing the cylinder form the system, thus
providing uninterrupted fire protection
Field installation capability - the indicator can easily be installed in the field using a single wrench as long as the container
is empty and is equipped with a mounting boss.
Compact - when not in use, the unit requires no more space than that required by the cylinder
Flexibility - the flexible tape design allows the unit to be used in tight spaces that would otherwise hinder the use of a rigid
-type indicator “stick”
Availability - units are available for all Avenger Systems cylinders from sizes of 150 lb through 1200 lb.
