Explanation
FM200 (HFC-227) is a clean agent fire suppression system that uses a high-pressure gas to extinguish fires by reducing the oxygen concentration and absorbing the heat. FM200 is stored in cylinders at pressures of up to 42 bar (600 psi) and is released through nozzles into the protected area. Because of the high pressure, the nozzles must be mounted with two brackets to prevent them from moving or breaking during discharge. The brackets must be securely attached to the ceiling or wall and aligned with the nozzle outlet. The nozzle outlet must also be free of any obstructions that could affect the discharge pattern or distribution.
