    Kit, which includes the Nitrogen Injection Manifold (NIM) and the Quick X-Haust Manifold (QXM), in combination with a Potter Automatic Air Release (PAAR-B) or Potter Air Vent (PAV) and a nitrogen source, can easily remove up to 99.9% of oxygen from a wet system.

    12. Allow pressure to reach 40 PSI in the fire sprinkler system again. 13. Once the pressure reaches 40 PSI, open the QXM. 14. Sample the exhaust gas leaving the QXM muffler with the Potter Nitrogen Analyzer. The nitrogen level should be 98% concentration or greater.
  • Page 11 Manual: AquaN 17. Fully close and disconnect the nitrogen cylinder. 18. The system is now full of high purity nitrogen. 19. Return the system to operation by filling with water. 20. The Air Vent will automatically exhaust the majority of gas in the system to minimize trapped gas. Any residual trapped gas pockets are now high purity nitrogen.
  • Page 12: Draining And Testing Of An Inerted Wet System

    Manual: AquaN 6. Draining and Testing of an Inerted Wet System Normal testing of the fire sprinkler system (ex. quarterly flow tests) can be performed on the fire sprinkler system without the need to drain and refill the system with nitrogen, though addition of oxygenated water can increase corrosion rates. Using the Auto-Test VSR-AT flowswitch improves the corrosion control of a wet fire sprinkler system by eliminating the need to flow water into the sprinkler system.
