VSP-COT-KIT VESDA Pipe Clean-Out Kit

As with any smoke detection system, to maintain Air Sampling Smoke Detection (ASD) systems at their peak performance, routine test and inspection are required at a frequency dictated by local codes and standards, or more frequently as may be required by the specific application requirements.

The Clean Out Kit installed at each detector inlet allows for convenient access to the pipe network.  When properly installed, clean out kit provides a simple to use, accessible location to perform regular pipe cleaning.

The Clean Out Kit has been designed to simplify cleaning and enhance suitability providing robust, normally open flow operation. With a ball valve open/close feature and an accompanying tee port with brass plug the clean out kit provides technicians a method to close the flow of air to the detector with the ball valve and attach a shop vacuum or compressed air tool into the tee allowing instantaneous cleaning of the pipe network.  Be aware of the environment when choosing to blow out or suck out the pipe network for cleaning.  We do not recommend blowing out pipes if contaminates may be present in the pipe and allow for distribution through the pipe network and could be harmful to humans.

While there are requirements in various codes, standards and end user practices for acceptable transport times and detection of smoke, there are general maintenance procedures that will extend the life of the detector.

The Clean Out Kit provides a means to safe guard your detector while providing a convenient to access port to do regular cleaning of the pipe network.
