Range With Obstruction - CaptiveAire EWC Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Range with Obstruction

Coverage for range w/obstruction is 18" wide by 26" long (deep) per nozzle. The R nozzle must be
positioned at the left and/or right edge and centered on the depth of the protected area. One R nozzle can
provide protection for ranges 18 inches wide by 26 inches deep. Additional nozzle(s) must be used for
ranges exceeding 18" in width, provided no single nozzle coverage exceeds 18" max-width. Refer to
Figure 32 for an example of modular coverage using two nozzles.
All dimensions fixed unless otherwise noted (e.g., min/max).
NOTE: Appliance Drop Fittings Must Not be Sealed with Pipe Dope or Teflon Tape.
