As a reference guide, Table 3-2 provides the equivalent lengths for all the Kidde ECS System
cylinder and valve assemblies. The numbers shown in the table represent the equivalent length
through the cylinder valve with the flex hose or without the flex hose, depending on the
application. This table can also be found in the latest version of the Flow Calculation Software
User's Guide 06-236271-001. Table 3-3 and Table 3-4 show the dimensions and fill range for
cylinder/valve assemblies in vertical installations.
Figure 3-7 and Figure 3-9 represent the 1½" through 3" valve arrangements.
