Three-way tap

Figure 5.8 Installing the three-way tap
The three-way tap is required to blow out the pipe system with blast air (as a preference) or
compressed air*. The aspirating smoke detector and the downstream pipe system accessory
components (e.g. air filter) must not and cannot be blown-out.
A check valve for relieving pressure from the pipe system must be fitted to the end of each
pipe branch. The check valve prevents damage to the air sampling openings and prevents dirt
deposits from being blown through the pipe system.
To prevent aspiration reducing film sheets in deep-freeze areas from tearing, it is advisable to
use special deep-freeze aspiration reductions.Check valve and deep-freeze aspiration
reductions are available on separate order.
* Compressed air is compressed, non-purified and humid ambient air. Blast air, on the other hand, is
purified and dehumidified air. If the FCS-320-TM and pipe system are located in areas with temperatures
below freezing, blast air is to be used for blowing out.
Connections
Fasten the three-way tap using the transition screw connections in the pipe system.
When installing, note the assignment of the connections (see Figure 5.8):
