General
Description
The TYCO AQUAMIST Red-E Mist
Supply Skid is a tank-based nitrogen-
propelled water supply unit for the
Ultra Low Flow AQUAMIST System.
The Red-E Mist Supply Skid consists
of a bank of nitrogen supply cylinders
and one or two water supply tanks. The
nitrogen is regulated to pressurize the
head space inside the tank, pressuriz-
ing the water used to supply the Ultra
Low Flow AQUAMIST System.
The Red-E Mist Supply Skid is avail-
able in two sizes. The Model 600 skid
consists of one 600 gallon (2271 liter)
water supply tank with four nitrogen
supply cylinders. The Model 1200 skid
consists of two 600 gallon (2271 liter)
water supply tanks with eight nitrogen
supply cylinders. Refer to Table A for
the maximum capacity and pressure of
each skid arrangement. The skids can
be ordered in configurations conform-
ing to either ASME/DOT or TPED/CE.

Technical
Data
The TYCO AQUAMIST Red-E Mist
Supply Skid is FM Approved as a
component of an FM Approved TYCO
AQUAMIST Red-E Mist Supply Skid
Fire Suppression System for Industrial
Fryer Protection (Refer to Technical
Data Sheet TFP2241) and as a compo-
nent of an FM Approved TYCO AQUA-
MIST total compartment deluge system
using AM4 AQUAMIST Nozzles for the
Protection of Machinery Spaces &
Combustion Turbine Enclosures (Refer
to Technical Data Sheet TFP2234).
Skid
Operation
The TYCO AQUAMIST Red-E Mist
Supply Skid is actuated when a signal
is sent to the HF Electric Actuator
opening the first CV-98 Valve. This
allows pressurized nitrogen to flow into
the High-Pressure Nitrogen Manifold.
The increased pressure to the mani-
fold opens all the CV-98 Valves that
are piped into the manifold. The pres-
surized nitrogen is then regulated and
sent into the water storage tanks where
the water is pressurized and sent to the
entire system for discharge.

System
Components
The TYCO AQUAMIST Red-E Mist
Supply Skid is composed of two
assemblies: the Nitrogen Supply Skid
and the Water Supply Tank Assembly.
(Ref. Figure 1) The Nitrogen Supply
Skid stores and regulates high pres-
sure nitrogen. The Water Supply Tank
Assembly(ies) is where water is stored
and discharged to the system.
Nitrogen Supply Skid
Nitrogen Cylinder with CV-98 Valve
Cylinders are equipped with CV-98
Valves, meet either DOT 3AAA3000
or EN1964-2 specifications and
are factory filled with nitrogen to
a nominal pressure of 2900 psi
(200 bar). Cylinders are shipped with
protective caps over the CV-98 Valves.
Nitrogen Cylinder Rack
The Nitrogen Cylinder Rack is designed
to rigidly support the Nitrogen Cylin-
ders used for the system. The skid is
designed allowing easy removal and
installation of the Nitrogen Cylinders.
HF Electric Actuator/Booster
Actuator/Lever Release Actuator
Electric actuation is completed with
the HF Electric Actuator. When utilizing
only one HF Electric Actuator, an In-line
Resistor is required in the supervised
release circuit. The nominal voltage of
the actuator is 12 VDC at 0.57 amps
with a range of 12 VDC – 14 VDC. An
in-line resistor must also be used to
reduce actuation voltage from a 24
VDC actuation line down to 12 VDC.
An Arming Tool, supplied with the
system, is required to reset the actua-
tor. A Booster Actuator is required on
the HF Electric Actuator when installed
on a CV-98 Valve. The Booster Actua-
tor requires resetting after actuation. Its
Reset Tool is supplied with the system.
A Lever Release Actuator is installed
on top of the HF Electric Actuator to
provide a manual means of actuating
the system.
Flexible Discharge Bend
The Flexible Discharge Bend is a
5/8 inch (1,59 cm) I.D. extra-heavy flex-
ible hose that connects the valve dis-
charge outlet to the header manifold.
Header Vent Plug
The Header Vent Plug releases low
pressure build-up that may occur in a
closed system.
Header Safety Burst Disk
The Header Safety Burst Disk releases
high pressure build-up that may occur
in a closed system. The internal safety
disc will rupture between 4000-4480
psi (276-309 bar).
Nitrogen Regulator
The Nitrogen Regulator is factory set to
provide the proper water delivery pres-
sure as listed in Table A.
Nitrogen Relief Valve
The Nitrogen Relief Valve is a high flow
relief valve that protects the regulator
from pressure spikes if the nitrogen
shutoff valve is closed. Relief pressure
is 300 psi (20,7 bar).
Nitrogen Shutoff Valve
The Nitrogen Shutoff Valve is a 3/4 inch
(1,905 cm) stainless steel ball valve
installed downstream of the Nitrogen
Regulator. It provides for safe inspec-
tion and system maintenance by allow-
ing the nitrogen flow to the water tank
to be shut off. This valve must be
locked open when system is in service.
Water Supply Tank
Assembly
Water Shutoff Valve
The Water Shutoff Valve (Ref. Figure 2)
is a 1-1/2 inch (3,81 cm) stainless steel
ball valve installed in the water tank
discharge piping. It provides for safe
inspection and system maintenance by
allowing the water flow to be shut off.
This valve must be locked open when
the system is in service.
Water Tank Nitrogen Drain Valve
The Water Tank Nitrogen Drain Valve is
a 3/4 inch (1.91 cm) stainless steel ball
valve located on top of the tank. It is
used to release built up nitrogen left in
the water tank after the system is dis-
charged and the Water Shutoff Valve
is closed.
CAUTION
This valve is used to release pres-
surized nitrogen from the water tank
without discharging it throughout the
system which creates significantly loud
and potentially dangerous sound. It is
recommended to pipe the nitrogen
discharge to an area where this sound
is acceptable or wear proper PPE to
protect the operator from the sound
created. This valve must be locked in
the closed position when the system is
in service.
Water Tank Nitrogen Relief Valve
The Water Tank Nitrogen Relief Valve is
a high-flow relief valve that protects the
water tank(s) from over-pressurizations.
Relief pressure is 260 psi (17,9 bar).
600 US Gallon (2271 Liter)
Water Supply Tank Assembly
The water tank is a 600 gallon
(2271 liter) capacity epoxy-coated
carbon steel water tank. The tank is
ASME certified up to 260 psi (17,92
bar) and 97/23/EC (PED) CE Marked.
The tank features a 1-1/2 inch (3,1
cm) fill opening. The assembly fea-
tures pipe and fittings which position
the discharge outlet for optimal flow.
A Y-strainer reduces the number of
foreign particles in the water stream.
Planning
Skid Sizing and Capacity
The TYCO AQUAMIST Red-E Mist
Supply Skid size will be determined by
the demand of the system as well as
the required discharge time. To select
proper size:
1. Determine the total number of
nozzles required to protect the
hazard.
Note: The Red-E Mist Supply Skid
cannot be used to supply zoned
systems.
2. Determine the basic piping system
design (routing, sizing, etc.) from all
of the nozzles all the way back to
the skid installation location.
3. Perform preliminary hydraulic calcu-
lations to determine the required
demand at the skid outlet.
4. Utilize Table A to determine which
size skid is needed.
Note: The AQUAMIST Red-E Mist
Supply Skid can supply systems with
a capacity and pressure demand
less than or equal to the values in
Table A .

Installation
The TYCO AQUAMIST Red-E Mist
Supply Skid must be installed in accor-
dance with this section. For success-
ful performance, the entire Red-E Mist
Supply Skid must be installed in a loca-
tion within a temperature range of 40°F
to 130°F (4°C to 54°C).
NOTE: The following items are not
included when purchasing the AQUA-
MIST Red-E Mist Supply Skid and must
be purchased separately:
• 1-1/2 Inch Nitrogen Discharge Piping
• 1-1/2 Inch Water Discharge Piping
• Nitrogen Drain
• 1-1/2 Inch Wye connector (required
in 1200 Gallon (4542 Liter) systems)
Nitrogen Supply Skid
The Nitrogen Supply Skid should
be located in an area with adequate
space to ensure access to all service-
able components. The skid must be
securely mounted or otherwise fas-
tened on a smooth, level, hard surface
capable of supporting the full weight
of the unit.
The weight of a 4 cylinder Nitrogen
Supply Skid is 1360 lbs. (617 kg) and
the weight of an 8 cylinder Nitrogen
Supply Skid is 2425 lbs. (1100 kg).
In cases where it is necessary to bring
the Nitrogen Supply Skid in through
openings with limited height, the high
pressure nitrogen manifold may be
removed. Remove the 1/4 inch (6,35
mm) U-bolts and lift the manifold off
the rack. After the Skid is located in its
final location, the high pressure mani-
fold must be re-installed in the proper
orientation by securing with the original
U-bolts with the lock washers and nuts.
Once the Nitrogen Supply Skid is
installed, the shipping caps can be
removed from the cylinders. Then
the Flexible Discharge Bends can be
installed onto the discharge port of the
CV-98 valve. Hand tighten, then tighten
one quarter of a turn with a wrench
(Ref. Figure 7 to locate the Outlet).
Water Supply Tank Assembly
The water supply tanks should be
installed so that they can be easily
refilled after use. Tanks must be
installed indoors or inside of a weather-
proof enclosure where operation tem-
perature limits are maintained. Secure
the tanks to the floor using four fasten-
ers through the mounting feet on the
water tank. Tanks should be spaced
at least 24 inches (0,61 m) apart to
allow for access during installation,
operation, and servicing procedures.
Ensure that the floor is strong enough
to support the weight of the water
tanks. The approximate weight of one
600 gallon (2271 liter) water tank filled is
7500 lbs. (3402 kg), approximate 2500
lbs. (1133 kg) when empty.
Nitrogen Discharge Piping
Each Nitrogen Discharge Connection
from the Nitrogen Supply Skid must be
piped to the inlet of a Water Tank Nitro-
gen Supply Connector using 1-1/2 inch
(3,81 cm) Schedule 40 Stainless 316
pipe. The connection must be made of
less than 19 feet (5,79 m) of pipe with
no more than three 90 degree elbows
and three unions.
Water Tank Discharge Piping
It is necessary to pipe the discharge of
the two water tanks together in a 1200
Gallon (4542 Liter) skid. The piping can
be completed using the same pipe as
the rest of the system. It is recom-
mended to complete the piping with
a Wye connecter to reduce the fric-
tion loss of the converging flows. (Ref.
Figure 1) Regardless of piping configu-
rations, hydraulic calculations must be
completed to include all of the pipe and
fittings from both tank assemblies.
Water Tank Nitrogen Drain Valve
Discharge Piping
The high velocity of nitrogen through
the Water Tank Nitrogen Drain Valves
when emptying a discharged system
can cause damaging levels of sound,
and the large volume of nitrogen can
deplete the oxygen concentration
inside a room where it is being dis-
pensed. It is recommended to pipe the
discharge from the Water Tank Nitro-
gen Drain Valves into an area where
high sound levels are acceptable and
where the nitrogen can be vented to
the outside.
Piping
Pipe, tube, and nipples are to have the
burrs and fins removed after cutting.
Apply pipe thread sealant to male
threads only. When using TEFLON tape
or paste sealant, do not apply the tape
or sealant any closer than one thread
from the inlet of any pipe connection.
Prior to installation, each pipe or tube
section is to be swabbed internally by
running a clean rag, sponge, or other
absorbent material, through the pipe
or tube as needed to meet the internal
cleanliness requirements of NFPA 750,
Standard on Water Mist Fire Protection
Systems.
Hangers
Selection and installation of the piping
system hangers on all piping added
to the TYCO AQUAMIST Red-E Mist
Supply Skid must be in accordance
with the specifications of NFPA 13,
Standard for the Installation of Sprin-
kler Systems, and NFPA 750, Standard
on Water Mist Fire Protection Systems.
Install FM Approved pipe hangers in
accordance with good piping practices
as well as the following standards:
• Refer to ASME B31.1, “Power Piping
Code,” and any appropriate local
codes and standards
• A hanger should be installed
between ttings when the ttings
are more than 2 ft. (0,6 m) apart.
Setting the
Skid for Service
Use the following procedure when
setting the system for service the first
time, or after service which involves
complete draining of the system:
Step 1. Test HF Electric Actuator and
Booster Actuator.
When testing the HF Electric Actuator
and Booster Actuator they must not be
installed on the CV-98 cylinder valve. If
installed, testing the electronic detec-
tion system will cause actuation and
discharge of the system. In order to
properly test the electric detection and
actuation, attach the Booster Actuator
to the HF Electric Actuator and ener-
gize the release circuit.
When the HF Electric Actuator/Booster
Actuator is actuated correctly, the
piston in the bottom of the actua-
tors will be locked in the down posi-
tion. Reset the HF Electric Actuator
and Booster Actuator by following the
instructions in the Skid Reset after Dis-
charge section.
Step 2. Install HF Electric Actuator and
Booster Actuator.
The Actuator Stack can be installed on
any of the four or eight nitrogen cylin-
ders on the Nitrogen Supply Skid (Ref.
Figure 7). To install the actuator stack,
make sure that the Booster Actuator
is set to the armed position. This can
be confirmed by visually checking the
position of the top and bottom pins.
When in the set position, the top pin
will be approximately flush with the
top of the actuator. The bottom pin will
be flush with the inside surface of the
actuator.
If the Booster Actuator requires setting,
use the Arming Tool and follow the
instructions listed in the Skid Reset
after Discharge section. Then, hand-
tighten the actuator onto the cylinder
valve. Next, make certain that the HF
Electric Actuator is in the armed posi-
tion. When in the set position, the top
pin will be flush with the actuator.
If the Electric Actuator requires reset-
ting, use the Arming Tool and follow the
instructions listed in the System Reset
after Discharge section. Then hand-

TFP2272
Page 8 of 10
tighten the HF Electric Actuator onto
the Booster Actuator.
If all other installations are complete,
connect electrical power to the HF
Electric Actuator. To install wiring for
the HF Electric Actuator, refer to the HF
Electric Actuator Instruction Sheet. The
Lever Actuator can then be installed
hand-tight on top of the HF Electric
Actuator.
Step 3. Fill water tanks.
In order to fill the water tanks, the Nitro-
gen Shutoff Valve must first be closed.
Then the union on top of the tank can
be disassembled and the tank can be
filled to the bottom of the collar. The
union can be reconnected and tight-
ened securely.
Note: Fill tank with clean, debris-free,
potable water; demineralized water is
recommended.
Step 4. Set valves.
Ensure that the Nitrogen Shutoff Valves
and Water Discharge Shutoff Valves on
the system are locked in the open posi-
tion. Also ensure that the Water Tank
Nitrogen Drain Valve on top of the water
tank is locked in the closed position.
The system is now set for service.
Skid Reset
after Discharge
After system operation due to a fire and
upon verification that the fire has been
extinguished, the TYCO AQUAMIST
Red-E Mist Supply Skid must be reset
as soon as possible.
Step 1. When water is no longer flowing
out of the system, the Water Discharge
Shutoff Valve(s) can be shut. Once the
Water Discharge Shutoff Valve(s) are
shut, the Water Tank Nitrogen Drain
Valve on top of the tank(s) can be
opened to allow the pressure inside of
the water tank(s) and cylinders to be
relieved.
CAUTION
Pressurized nitrogen flowing out of the
nitrogen drain valve can cause damag-
ing levels of sound. Operators should
take precaution and wear proper per-
sonal protective equipment to protect
themselves from the sound. It is recom-
mended to pipe the nitrogen drain into
an area in which the high level of sound
is acceptable.
Leave the Water Tank Nitrogen Drain
Valve open until all the nitrogen is
drained out of the cylinders and the
water tank.
Step 2. The nitrogen cylinders can then
be removed and refilled. First, remove
the Flexible Discharge Bend from the
cylinders’ outlets. Then, remove all
actuators from the CV-98 Valves. While
the cylinders are still in the bracketing,
relieve any remaining pressure in the
cylinders. This is done by first ensur-
ing that the discharge outlet cap is
not installed on the valve outlet. Next,
attach the Bleed-down Device to the
valve Fill Port.
CAUTION
Attach the Bleed-down Device to
the Fill Port of discharged cylinders
only. Never attach this device to fully
charged cylinders as this will cause
high pressure to discharge out of the
Fill Port. Only install the device hand-
tight. Do not wrench-tighten.
Bleed residual pressure from the cyl-
inder. Make sure the cylinder is com-
pletely empty before removing the
Bleed-down Device. Once the cylin-
der is empty, remove the bleed-down
device and install the shipping cap.
This must be completed on all Dis-
charged cylinders in the system. When
all the cylinders are empty, they can be
removed from the bracketing. Before
refilling cylinders, determine if the cyl-
inder requires hydrostatic testing prior
to being recharged. Note last hydro-
static test date on the cylinder collar.
If the cylinder does not have a star
stamp, it requires testing five years
from last test date. If the cylinder has a
star stamp, it requires a hydrostatic test
ten years from the last test date. For
TPED approved cylinders, the hydro-
static testing requirement is every ten
years after the date of manufacture.
The cylinders must be recharged to
factory specifications: 2900 to 3000 psi
(200 to 207 bar) at 70°F (21°C). Nitro-
gen must be filled at a minimum purity
of 99.9% vol. with maximum oxygen
content of 10 ppm and maximum
moisture content of 4 ppm. The fully
charged cylinders can now be secured
in the bracketing. The safety shipping
cap can be removed from the cylinder
and saved for later use.
WARNING
Do not stand in front of the cylinder
valve outlet. Accidental operation of the
valve may allow nitrogen gas to escape
at a high velocity. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury.
The Flexible Discharge Bend can
now be installed to each Nitrogen
Cylinder Valve discharge outlet and
wrench-tightened.
Step 3. Drain all water from the system.
It may be necessary to open the pipe
caps located on the bottom of the water
tank piping located near the water
shutoff valve on the water tank(s) and
open the water shutoff valve in order to
drain the water from the entire system.
Step 4. Clean the system strainer(s).
Step 5. The HF Electric Actuator must
be reset after each use. Remove the
Lever Release Actuator from the top of
the HF Electric Actuator before reset-
ting. Use the Arming Tool to re-arm.
First, remove the electrical power to the
HF Electric Actuator and then remove
the actuator from the CV-98 Valve.
Next, use the Arming Tool to push up on
the actuator pin located at the bottom
of the actuator. The actuator pin will
be locked in the armed position when
a “click” is heard. Do not reinstall the
HF Electric Actuator until the Booster
Actuator is installed.
NOTICE
Do not hold the actuator upside-down
on a hard surface during the reset-
ting procedure. The stem assembly on
the top of the actuator must be able
to extend above the top surface to the
actuator to reset.
Step 6. The Booster Actuator must also
be reset after each use. Do not attempt
to reset the Booster Actuator while it is
attached to the HF Electric Actuator. A
Reset Tool is required.
To reset, first remove the Booster Actu-
ator from the CV-98 Valve. Next, make
sure that the internal threaded plug in
the Reset Tool is backed out approx-
imately half-way. The Reset Tool can
then be hand-tightened to the bottom
of the Booster Actuator. Once the
tool is installed, the threaded plug of
the Reset Tool can be turned clock-
wise (into the actuator) until a “click”
is heard. The threaded plug can then
be backed out one or two turns and
the Reset Tool can be removed from
the Booster Actuator. Finally, confirm
that the Booster Actuator is reset prop-
erly: the top pin of the Booster Actua-
tor will be approximately flush with the
top of the actuator; the bottom pin will
be flush with the inside surface of the
actuator.
The system may now be set back into
service. Refer to the Setting the Skid
for Service section.

Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO AQUAMIST Red-E Mist
Supply Skid must be inspected, tested,
maintained and serviced in accordance
with this section.
Before closing a fire protection system
control valve for inspection, testing,
or maintenance work on the fire pro-
tection system that it controls, obtain
permission to shut down the affected
fire protection system from the proper
authorities and notify all personnel who
may be affected by this action.
After placing a fire protection system
in service, notify the proper authorities
and advise those responsible for moni-
toring proprietary and/or central station
alarms.
The owner is responsible for the inspec-
tion, testing, and maintenance of their
fire protection system and devices in
compliance with this document, as well
as with the requirements of NFPA 750,
Standard on Water Mist Fire Protection
Systems, NFPA 22, Standard for Water
Tanks for Private Fire Protection, and
additional standards required by the
authority having jurisdiction. Contact
the installing contractor or product
manufacturer with any questions.
Fixed water mist systems for fire pro-
tection should be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with:
• FM Global Property Loss Prevention
Data Sheet 2-81
• FM Global Property Loss Prevention
Data Sheet 4-2
• local requirements and/or national
codes
All strainers in the Red-E Mist Supply
Skid must be cleaned and inspected
after every system operation.
Test Procedure
The system test procedure is to be per-
formed per NFPA 750 and NFPA 25 to
verify proper operation of alarms and
skid actuation. Refer to NFPA 750,
Standard on Water Mist Fire Protection
Systems for additional required testing.
Testing the system will result in opera-
tion of fire alarms. Before testing a fire
protection system that is in service,
notify the proper authorities and advise
those responsible for monitoring pro-
prietary and/or central station alarms.
Step 1. Ensure all Nitrogen Cylinders
are properly secured by the brackets in
the rack. Check each cylinder assem-
bly for corrosion, damage, missing
components, and the last hydrostatic
test date.
Step 2. If equipped, remove the Lever
Release Actuator, HF Electric Actuator,
and Booster Actuator from the CV-98
Valve assembly.
Step 3. Check each cylinder annually
with the Pressure Test Assembly to
determine if the pressure is within the
acceptable range (Ref. Graph A).
To use the pressure test assembly,
first make certain the cylinder is prop-
erly bracketed. Before attaching the
assembly, make certain the stem is
completely backed out by turning the
hand wheel counterclockwise until it
stops. Attach the assembly to the fill
port of the Nitrogen Cylinder Valve and
wrench-tighten.
To read the cylinder pressure, turn the
hand-wheel completely clockwise until
it stops, then back off 1/4 turn. This will
open the fill port. After pressure has
been read, close the fill port by turning
the hand wheel completely counter-
clockwise. Slowly loosen the adapter
nut to remove the pressure test assem-
bly from the fill port. A hissing sound
may be heard; this is normal and will
not last long. The gauge pressure will
drop to zero. Record the cylinder pres-
sure for reference on the next pressure
test. Visually note the location of the
indicator needle on the cylinder valve
to determine if it is in close proximity
to the actual reading on the test gauge.
Step 4. Check the condition of all Flex-
ible Discharge Bend. Look for signs
of structural problems like abrasion
or weather checking. Ensure all Flex-
ible Discharge Bends are connected
properly.
Note: Flexible Discharge Bends must
be hydrostatically tested every five
years.
Step 5. Check the condition and oper-
ation of all actuators by first removing
the Lever Actuator, HF Electric Actua-
tor, and Booster Actuator from the cyl-
inder. Refer to the Setting the Skid for
Service section for HF Electric Actua-
tor and Booster Actuator test proce-
dures. Check the condition of the Lever
Release Actuator and ensure that it
operates freely.
Step 6. Check the water supply tank(s)
by first removing the inspection seal
from the red Nitrogen Shutoff Valve
and black Water Shutoff Valve. Rotate
the valve handles to the closed posi-
tions. Disconnect the union on the top
of the tank(s) and inspect the threads
in the union nut and on the union cou-
pling for nicks, burrs, cross threading,
and rough or feathered edges. Clean
the union if necessary. Ensure that the
water supply is filled to the bottom of
the collar and then replace the union
securely. Finally, re-open the red Nitro-
gen Shutoff Valve and the black Water
Shutoff Valve and seal with visual
inspection seals.
Re-install Booster Actuator, HF Elec-
tric Actuator, and Lever Actuator on the
CV-98 Valve.
Ensure the system is properly returned
to service. Refer to the Setting the Skid
for Service section.
