6) Side skirts, when desired, may be installed on both pods or are sometimes only
required on the intake end of the oven. See the job specific submittal drawings or
cut sheets for guidance on the locations and number of the side skirts. Side skirts
are installed, if desired, by fastening the upper edges of the side skirt to the lower
edges of the hood pod end walls where holes are provided for this purpose. Tabs
are provided along the flange which runs down the oven body which allows the
side skirt to be attached to the oven at predetermined points. Threaded inserts
have been installed at these points on the oven to allow the side skirt to fasten to
the oven. The screw(s) are installed into the threaded inserts, through the slotted
tabs, and tightened to hold the side skirt in position.

FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
The MM1 hood may be ordered pre-piped with a fire suppression system. Local codes or
a desire for enhanced fire safety may dictate the inclusion of fire protection in the hood.
The hood, if ordered pre-piped, will come with the detector bracket and fire protection
nozzles installed in the exhaust plenum of both hood pods to cover the requirements of
the duct protection and exhaust plenum protection. The local Ansul fire system installer
must supply the distribution piping, Ansul Automan and suppressant tanks, detector
conduit and wire rope runs, fusible links, remote pull station, Ansulex liquid fire
suppressant and all other supplies to complete the fire system installation. If appliance
protection is required the local Ansul installer must also design and install the distribution
piping and nozzles for this requirement. The side skirts on the rear of the hood require
holes to be punched to allow access for the appliance protection distribution piping. This
work must be performed by the Ansul system installer. The illustrations below depict the
typical layout for an MM1 hood fire system. The pre-pipe components supplied by Halton
are shown in solid lines and the components supplied by others are shown in dashed
lines. The complete fire system must satisfy the requirements of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), Underwriters Laboratories Standard 300 and all local
codes and Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
