Introduction
The Buckeye Fire Equipment Kitchen Mister Fire
Suppression System is a pre-engineered wet chemical
restaurant fire suppression system as defined by the
NFPA-17A Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing
Systems. It is designed to protect commercial restaurant
cooking appliances, hoods, and ducts as described in this
manual.
Installation and maintenance of the Kitchen Mister System
must be in compliance with the parameters set forth in this
manual and be performed by a factory trained, Authorized
Buckeye Fire Equipment Distributor.
How the Kitchen Mister Works
The Kitchen Mister System utilizes a potassium based
liquid fire extinguishing agent specifically designed for
grease laden fires such as those associated with
restaurant cooking areas. The Kitchen Mister agent works
to suppress commercial kitchen fires in three ways:
1. The agent interrupts the chemical chain reaction
causing combustion, thus extinguishing the fire.
2. The agent is discharged in a very fine mist, cooling
the fire to below its auto-ignition temperature.
3. The agent reacts with grease to form a foam-like layer
commonly called saponification that starves the fire of
oxygen, stopping combustion and preventing re-
ignition.
The system will automatically actuate upon detection of a
fire or can be manually actuated by using a remote manual
pull station positioned at the point(s) of egress from the
hazard area. When the system is actuated, a pre-
determined amount of fire extinguishing agent is
discharged through the piping network and fixed nozzles
to the duct, plenum, and cooking appliances. The agent
is discharged as a very fine mist that quickly acts to
suppress grease laden fires.
System Temperature Limitations
The operating temperature range of the Kitchen Mister
System is 32oF (0oC.) minimum to 120oF (49oC.)
maximum.

Valve Assembly
All Kitchen Mister System cylinders utilize the same
poppet style valve assembly, the Model BFR-VLV as
shown in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2.
Model BFR-VLV,
Valve Assembly
The valve comes equipped with a detent pin that will, upon
system actuation, lock the valve in the open position
assuring full discharge of the extinguishing agent. To re-
set the valve after actuation, simply pull the ring on the
detent pin and the valve stem will return to its closed

Extinguishing Agent
The Kitchen Mister System utilizes a potassium carbonate
based extinguishing agent that is specifically designed to
extinguish grease laden fires such as those found in
commercial cooking areas. The recharge agent is
available in two different sized containers; the Model BFR-
5R (5 flow points of agent) and the Model BFR-10R (10
flow points of agent). For information on the proper
procedure for refilling the cylinder after system discharge,
refer to Chapter 5 of this manual.
WARNING
Goggles must be worn at all times when handling
extinguishing agent because it is very caustic in
nature. If agent gets in eyes, they must be flushed
with clear water for at least 15 minutes and a
physician contacted. If agent contacts skin, it should
be washed with cold water to prevent irritation. When
cleaning up agent discharged around electrical
devices or appliances, make sure the power is off
before proceeding with cleanup. The agent is
electrically conductive. O-RING, VALVE CAP

OVERVIEW OF SYSTEM DESIGN
The following chapter will cover the proper design of the
Buckeye Fire Equipment Kitchen Mister Fire Suppression
System. It is divided into three sections:
1. Nozzle Coverages and Placements
2. Piping Limitations
3. Detector Placement
Design of the Kitchen Mister System must be in
compliance with the parameters set forth in this manual
and be performed by a factory trained, Authorized
Buckeye Fire Equipment Dealer. Buckeye Fire
Equipment is not responsible for systems installed or
maintained by personnel that are not factory trained and
Authorized.
NOZZLE COVERAGE, PLACEMENT,
AND AIMING
This section will give detailed guidelines for determining
nozzle type, positioning, and aim point for appliance,
plenum, and duct protection.
Duct Protection
It is not necessary to shut down or damper the exhaust
fan for the system to function properly. It is recommended
that the exhaust fan be left on during system discharge
to help distribute the extinguishing agent throughout the
ductwork.

or
round ducts.
Placement:

Proper Duct Nozzle Placement
The Model N-2W nozzle is a two (2) flow point nozzle
that can protect a square or rectangular duct of unlimited
(381 cm) perimeter and a maximum one side length of
respectively. It can also protect a round duct with a
cm) maximum diameter). See Figure 3-1 and 3-2.
For ducts with perimeters la
more than one Model N-2W nozzle must be used. When
using multiple Model N-2W nozzles to protect a single
duct, the cross-sectional area of the duct must be divided
into equal symmetrical areas. Each nozzle must then be
installed in the center of the area it is protecting and
aimed directly into the duct opening. No cross-sectional
area can exceed the single nozzle coverage.
Transition Ducts
Protection of any non-standard duct should be discussed
and agreed upon with the local authority having
jurisdiction before proceeding with any system
installation. Typically, transition ducts are protected in
the following manner.
Larger to Smaller Duct Transitions
To determine the proper coverage for ducts that have a
larger opening into the plenum than the final exhaust
duct, measure the perimeter of the duct half way between
the largest and smallest cross-sectional areas. The
nozzle will be located as per standard duct coverage at
the duct/plenum interface, rather than at the point of
measurement, and pointed into the duct, aimed at the
center of the final duct opening. See Figure 3.3.
Figure 3.3.
Proper Measurement and Nozzle
Placement for Larger To Smaller Transition Ducts.
Smaller to Larger Duct Transitions
To determine the proper coverage for ducts that have a
smaller opening into the plenum than the final exhaust
duct, measure the perimeter of the final exhaust duct.
The nozzle will be located as per standard duct coverage
at the duct/plenum interface and aimed at the center of
the duct opening. See Figure 3.4.
Figure 3.4.
Proper Measurement and Nozzle
Placement for Smaller To Larger Transition Ducts.
Upper / Lower Plenums
When protecting exhaust hoods with multiple risers
(upper / lower plenums), each riser must be protected as
an individual duct. See Figure 3.5.
Figure 3.5.
Upper / Lower Plenum Protection
Electrostatic Precipitators
Ventilation systems that utilize electrostatic precipitators
require duct protection above and below the precipitator.
Standard duct nozzles are used for this application. See
Figure 3.6.

Placement: See Figure 3.7.
Aim point: See Figure 3.7.
The Model N-1HP nozzle is a one (1) flow point nozzle
that can protect a plenum (either single bank or V-bank)
of 12 feet (3.7 m) in length and 4 feet (1.2 m) in width per
nozzle. Larger plenums must be divided into 12-foot (3.7
m) sections, with each section protected with a separate
nozzle. See Figure 3-7.
Plenum: V-bank Nozzle Placement
The nozzle must be located at the center of the V-bank
width and down 1/3 of the vertical height, within 6 inches
(15 cm) of the end of the plenum or plenum module and
aimed down the length of the plenum. See Figure 3-7.
Plenum: Single Filter Bank Nozzle Placement
The nozzle must be located at a
from the back edge of the filter and 1/3 of the vertical
height of the filter, within 6 inches (15 cm) off the end of
the plenum or plenum module and aimed down the length
of the plenum. See Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7.
Model N-1HP
Plenum Nozzle Placement and Aiming
Note: These examples are typical and do not represent
every acceptable nozzle configuration, only a
representative sample of them.
APPLIANCE PROTECTION
Each different appliance must be protected in a specific
manner with regard to nozzle selection, placement, and
aiming. No deviations from these parameters are
allowed and failure to comply completely with these
requirements will void the UL Listing of the system and
may render the system ineffective.
In order to properly understand this section, several key
terms need to be defined in advance.
DESIGN TERMINOLOGY
Nozzle Height: The distance from the tip of the
discharge nozzle to the top surface of the appliance
(except for woks, in which case the bottom of the wok is
used).
Hazard Area: All nozzle coverages include the maximum
size of the hazard area they can protect. Hazard area is
NOT the overall size of the appliance being protected,
but rather the actual size of the portion of the appliance
used for cooking.
Appliances Requiring Multiple Nozzles
Some appliances may need to be protected by multiple
nozzles because of their size. If the size of an appliance
is larger than the approved coverage for that appliance,
multiple nozzles must be used. This is accomplished by
dividing the hazard area into individual zones that comply
with the parameters of the listing for that appliance. In this
case, each zone will be protected as an individual
appliance with respect to nozzle placement and aiming.
RANGE PROTECTION
Nozzle: N-1LP (1 Flow Point)

Nozzle Ht:
Placement:
Aim point:
The Model N-1LP nozzle is a one (1) flow point nozzle
that can protect a range cook

Designer Note
For plenums that exceed 12 feet (3.7 m) in length
and therefore require multiple nozzles, it is
recommended that the total length be divided into
equally sized protection zones and protected
accordingly. So a 16 foot (4.9 m) long plenum should
be divided into two 8 foot (2.4 m) zones, with a
nozzle protecting each, as opposed to a 12 foot (3.7
m) zone and a 4 foot (1.2 m) zone.

PIPING LIMITATIONS
This section contains detailed piping limitations that are
necessary to design the piping network for The Buckeye
Fire Equipment Kitchen Mister Fire Suppression System.
Because the system is of the pre-engineered type,
maximum and minimum piping parameters have already
been established for each cylinder size. No variations to
these limitations are allowed under the UL Listing.
The maximum and minimum pipe length for each size
agent cylinder is based on total internal pipe volume,
regardless of the diameter of the pipe used. All piping
parameters are based on total system piping and do not
make a distinction between branches and supply line
piping.
Note: Pipe and fittings must be furnished by the installer.
Pipe shall be Schedule 40 black, chrome plated, or
stainless-steel pipe. Fittings shall be rated 150 lb (68 kg).

* Total volume of 3/8 (17.1 mm OD) piping allowed on
the BFR-15 or BFR-20 is 2500 mL.
Minimum Piping Requirements
Note:Minimum piping requirements ONLY apply when
protecting a wok, deep fat fryer, or range.
1. Minimum number of elbows before the closest
nozzle protecting a fryer, range, or wok shall be five
(5).
2. The minimum piping volume before the closest
nozzle protecting a fryer, range, or wok shall not be
less than 360 mL.
3. The total system pipe volume shall not be less than
660 mL. for all cylinder sizes.
4. A system shall have a minimum of three (3) flow
points.
General Piping Requirements
(21.3 mm OD).
2. The maximum number of elbows allowed per system
are:
BFR-5: 20 elbows maximum
BFR-10/15/20: 25 elbows maximum
3. The maximum number of elbows between any two
nozzles is five (5).
4. The maximum vertical rise of the supply line is 10
feet (3 m), this is either the maximum elevation
difference between tank outlet and the highest
nozzle or tank outlet and the highest or lowest point
in the piping system.
5. The maximum vertical rise of any nozzle above the
supply line is 2 feet (0.6 m).
6. No traps are allowed in the piping system.
Note: a section of pipe that
would allow liquid to accumulate, such as, either a
low point in the piping layout or piping that extends
past the last discharge point.
7. When different sized piping is used in the same
system, the largest diameter pipe must be closest to
the cylinder and sizes are to decrease as they reach
the nozzle. So piping always runs from larger to
smaller diameter.
8. Elbow(s) or swivel adaptors used at the nozzle for
aiming, DO NOT count toward the total elbows
allowed per system or the number of elbows
between two (2) nozzles.

GENERAL
The following chapter will cover the proper installation of
the Buckeye Fire Equipment Kitchen Mister Fire
Suppression System.
This chapter will only cover the various aspects of
installation associated specifically with the Kitchen Mister
System. Additional training in both mechanical and
electrical systems is required for proper system
installation and training in these areas is solely the
responsibility of the distributor.
Various components required for system installation such
as pipe, pipe hangers, conduit (EMT), conduit straps,
wiring, mounting hardware, and the like are not furnished
by Buckeye Fire Equipment and must be provided by the
installing distributor.
CYLINDER INSTALLATION
Before attempting cylinder installation, it is important to
assure that you have the correct bracket assembly for the
selected cylinder:
Cylinder Bracket Assembly
BFR-5 Model MB-1
BFR-10/15/20 Model MB-2
The cylinder must be vertically mounted. See Figure
4-1 .
1. The wall used to mount the cylinder must be
sufficiently strong to support the cylinder weight.
2. Mount the bracket using lag bolts, making sure it is
level.
3. Loop the cylinder strap loosely over the top of the
cylinder as shown below.
4. Hook the bottom rim of the cylinder into the bracket.
5. Allow the mounting strap provided to slide into the
two top grooves of the bracket and around the
cylinder.
6. Tighten the strap securely around the cylinder.
The bracket cannot be fastened to dry wall or other such
material, if this type of wall is encountered a stud must be
located and the bracket fastened to it.
Figure 4-1.
Cylinder and Mounting Bracket Installation
Pipe and Nozzle Installation
Any foreign substance left in the piping network (i.e.,
cutting oil, dirt, metal shavings, etc.) have the potential to
clog the nozzles upon system discharge. For this reason,
all pipe must be thoroughly cleaned before installation.
The following procedure should be used when installing
piping and nozzles:
1. Check pipe threading dies to assure that they are
cutting properly.
2. After cutting, all pipes sections are to be reamed and
the pipe cleaned.
3. Teflon tape shall be used for all pipe connections.

Buckeye Shielded Cable Installation
Guidelines
Buckeye Shielded Cable (Patent Pending) can be used
for all system mechanical interfaces:
Fusible Link Detection Line
Gas Valve Line
Remote Mechanical Pull Station Line
The Model BFR-SC-100 comes with 105 feet (32 m) of
flexible conduit with 210 feet
stainless steel cable inside it. See Figure 4-6.
Figure 4-6.
Buckeye Shielded Cable
To install Buckeye Shielded Cable follow these
guidelines:
1. Determine which input or output lines Buckeye
Shielded Cable will be used for:
Fusible Link Detection Line
Gas Valve Line
Remote Pull Station Line
2. Mount the Buckeye Shielded Cable to either end of
the line and run the cable in the manner it will be
installed, either back to the Systems Releasing
Module(s) or to the termination device (plenum, gas
valve, or pull station).
3. BSC must be securely mounted with a clip or tie-
down at least every four (4) feet (1.2 m).
through the terminated end to allow for termination
at BOTH ends of the line.
Example: When connecting a gas valve to the control
head with Buckeye Shielded Cable, first connect the
cable to the gas valve using a Buckeye Shielded Cable
Interface, then run the cable back to the Systems
Releasing Module(s). Then,
(0.16 cm) stainless steel cable through the gas valve side
of the cable to allow for connection of BOTH the gas
valve (at one end) and the Systems Releasing Module(s)
(at the other end).
5. The Buckeye Shielded Cable can now be cut at the
end opposite of where the
stainless steel cable has been pulled through. To cut
the cable, use a sharp, heavy duty, cable cutter and
cut through the entire piece of Buckeye Shielded
Cable, both the outer flexible conduit and the inner
cable, at the location desired. See Figure 4-7.
Figure 4-7.
Cutting Buckeye Shielded Cable
Note: Buckeye Shielded Cable must ALWAYS be cut
6 cm) stainless steel cable
inside the outer flexible conduit.
stainless steel cable back
through the flexible conduit until there is enough on
both ends to make proper terminations.
7. The stainless-steel cable can then be used for
connection to Systems Releasing Module(s), pull
station, gas valve, or fusible link line.
Cable
When installing Buckeye Shielded Cable the minimum
be preceded and followed by at least 1 foot (.3 m) of
straight cable run. See Figure 4-8.

Fusible Link Line Installation
NOTE: Fusible Link Line installation only applies to
mechanically operated Systems Releasing Module(s)
(Models: SRM2-M, SRM-D and SRM)
Fusible link line limitations are based on the method by
which the Systems Releasing Module(s) is connected to
the plenum. Limitations are as follows:
Note: The use of Fusible Link Holders in the plenum area
does not affect fusible link line limitations.
Globe ML Style fusible links are used for automatic
actuation of the Kitchen Mister System and must be
installed in the plenum area of the ventilation hood (for
proper link placement see Chapter 3 of this manual).
Fusible Link Line Installation Step #1:
Determine if fusible link brackets and
conduit will be used in the plenum area:
The Kitchen Mister System is approved:
1. With conduit and fusible link brackets in the plenum
area.
2. Without fusible link brackets and conduit in the
plenum area when filters are present, thus providing
mechanical protection for the fusible link line.
If fusible link brackets and conduit are used in
plenum area:
Although fusible link brackets and conduit are only
required for applications where no filters are present in
the ventilation hood, they can be used for all applications
if desired.
Once the decision has been made to use fusible link
brackets and conduit in the plenum area, begin by
installing the detector brackets in the plenum area of the
ventilation hood over each appliance and in each duct
opening as described in Chapter 3 of this manual.
conduit and conduit connectors.
A Buckeye corner pulley is required for each change in
conduit direction. The conduit will exit the plenum area
through an approved liquid tight hood seal. The detection
line can now be run back to the Systems Releasing
Module(s).
If fusible link brackets and conduit are not
used in plenum area:
For installations where filters are present in the ventilation
hood, fusible link brackets and conduit ARE NOT
required in the plenum area.
Install a single bracket at the top of the far end of the
plenum, approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) in from the far
wall and in line with the center of the duct opening.
This bracket is not used to center a fusible link, but rather
as a termination point for the fusible link line cable.
After mounting the terminal bracket, use another bracket
as a template, making sure it is also in line with the duct
centerline, to determine the location of the hood
penetration on the other end of the plenum. Install an
approved liquid tight hood seal in the hole in the far end
of the hood. See Figure 4-17.
The terminal bracket is the only bracket required for this
application. The fusible links will be attached directly to
the detection line in the plenum area in their appropriate
locations (see Chapter 3 for proper fusible link
placement). No additional brackets are required. The
detection line can now be run back to the Systems
Releasing Module(s).
Fusible Link Line Limitations
1. Conduit and corner pulleys used with standard
steel cable to connect
Systems Releasing Module(s) to plenum:
Max. No. of Detectors: 20
Max. Length of Conduit: 150 feet (45.7 m)

Fusible Link Line Installation Step #2:
Determine how the fusible link line will be
connected to the Systems Releasing
Module(s) from the plenum:
There are three (3) approved methods by which the
fusible link detection line can be run from the Systems
Releasing Module(s) to the plenum, they are:
corner pulley for each change in direction.
2. Using ONLY Buckeye Shielded Cable.
3. Using a combination of Buckeye Shielded Cable and
Note: Buckeye Shielded Cable CANNOT be attached
directly to the hood penetration device used to seal the
plenum area, a corner pulley and/or six (6) inches (15 cm)
T conduit must be placed in
between the Buckeye Shielded Cable Interface and the
plenum.
Corner Pulleys
fusible link line in the plenum area to the Systems
Releasing Module(s). A Buckeye corner pulley is
required whenever a change in conduit direction is
necessary.
The conduit is connected to the Systems Releasing
Module(s) through a knockout in the upper right-side
run through the conduit system from the Systems
Releasing Module(s) to the plenum area.
OPTION #2: Using only Buckeye Shielded Cable
Buckeye Shielded Cable can be used to connect the
fusible link line in the plenum area to the Systems
Releasing Module(s). When using this option, only the
stainless-steel cable that comes with Buckeye Shielded
Cable can be used.
Note: Refer to the Buckeye Shielded Cable Installation
Guidelines section of this chapter for details.
The Buckeye Shielded Cable is connected to the
Systems Releasing Module(s) through a knockout in the
upper right-side corner. Install a standard conduit
connector in the knockout hole. Then connect a Buckeye
Shielded Cable Interface to the end of the section of
Buckeye Shielded Cable to be used. Connect the
Buckeye Shielded Cable Interface to the conduit
connector installed in the knockout. The Buckeye
Shielded Cable can then be run to the plenum area.
Note: A corner pulley and/or six (6) inches (15 cm) of
the Buckeye Shielded Cable and the liquid tight seal
installed in the plenum.
OPTION #3: Using a Combination of Buckeye
Shielded Cable and Conduit and Corner Pulleys
Buckeye Shielded Cable can be used in combination with
in the plenum area to the Systems Releasing Module(s).
Note: Refer to the Buckeye Shielded Cable Installation
Guidelines section of this chapter for details.

For all portions of the detection line that use conduit
instead of Buckeye Shielded Cable, a Buckeye Corner
Pulley is required whenever a change in conduit direction
is necessary.
Fusible Link Line Installation Step #3:
Installing the fusible links in the plenum
area:
Fusible links can be installed in the plenum area of the
ventilation hood either with or without the use of Buckeye
Model FLH-1 Fusible Link Holders.
Note: A minimum of three inches of travel towards the
SRM must be maintained between a conduit connector
and the cable crimp or fusible link holder.
OPTION #1: Installing fusible links when fusible
link brackets and conduit ARE used:
When fusible link brackets and conduit are used in the
plenum area, attach the terminal link to the far end of the
Figure 4-18).
After installing the terminal link, a tight loop is then made
in the cable and secured with the crimp provided. It is
attached to the other end of the terminal link and fed
through the conduit to the next bracket. This cable is then
used to connect the remaining series links. Each link
must be centered in the detector bracket. See Figure 4-
19.
Figure 4-18
Terminal Link Installation
After the last link is connected, the control head can be
put in the set position as described in the next section of
this chapter.
Figure 4-19.
Series Link Installation
Fusible Link Installation Using Fusible Link Holders:
If Buckeye Fusible Link Holders are used, make sure to
fusible link. This method is recommended because it
requires fewer cuts and crimps in the fusible link line and
allows fusible links to be easily moved to assure they are
in the correct position.
Attach the fusible link line to the terminal bracket by
making a tight loop in the fusible link cable and securing
it with the crimp provided. This loop is then connected to
Figure 4-20.
Figure 4-20.
Terminal Bracket Connection
Fusible Link Holders can now be installed starting at the
terminal bracket and working toward the Systems
Releasing Module(s). This is accomplished by looping
the cable through the opening in the Fusible Link Holder
and hooking the fusible link on the loop. See Figure 4-
21.
Figure 4-21.
Fusible Link Connection
The hole in the fusible link can now be hooked onto the
bottom of the holder as shown in Figure 4-22.
CAUTION

Fusible Link Holder Connection
Fusible links can be positioned by sliding the Fusible Link
Holder along the detection line before it is completely
tensioned to the desired position.
After the last link is connected, the Systems Releasing
Module(s) can be put in the set position as described in
the next section of this chapter.
OPTION #2: Installing fusible links when fusible
link brackets and conduit ARE NOT used:
When fusible link brackets and conduit are NOT used in
the plenum area, begin the fusible link installation at the
terminal bracket which has already been installed.
The detection line is run through the hood quick seal,
through the larger hole in the near end of the terminal
bracket and attached to the far end of the terminal
crimped closed after installation. See Figure 4-23.
Figure 4-23.
Fusible Link Line Termination in Plenum
Starting at the far end of the plenum, determine the
location of the first fusible link (for proper link placement
see Chapter 3 of this manual), cut the cable at the
desired location and install the first fusible link as shown
in Figure 4-24.
Figure 4-24.
Fusible Link Connection
This cable is then used to connect the remaining series
links. Repeat the above procedure until all the links are
in their desired locations. See Figure 4-25.
