SYSTEM DESIGN This manual contains manufacturers recommendations for the design, installation and commissioning of the PUCK fire and suppression system. This manual should be read in conjunction with the following standards as applicable: BS 8458 BS 9251 BS 9252 BS 7671 (Other standards may apply) Category of System The designer should at an early stage determine which category of system is applicable, as this affects various design considerations, such as the water requirements for the system. The category of system should be determined by the type of building as shown below. Domestic occupancy Single family dwellings such as: • Individual dwelling house
• Individual flat • Individual maisonette • Transportable home Houses of multiple occupation (HMOs) A) Bed and breakfast accommodation A) Boarding houses A) Blocks of flats 18 m or less in height and with a maximum total floor area of 2 400 m2 B), C)
Residential occupancy Blocks of flats greater than 18 m in height C) Sheltered and extra care housing
Residential care premises Residential rehabilitation accommodation Dormitories (e.g. attached to educational establishments) Hostels
A) Buildings with more than two floors and five or more lettable bedrooms should be treated as a residential occupancy. B) Where the fire strategy requires the communal rooms and corridors to be protected by a watermist system, then the building should be treated as a residential occupancy.
www.puckfire.com ©Copyright 2016, Puck Fire Ltd. All rights reserved.
C) This height is the height of the floor of the top storey above ground. Water Supplies
Our recommendation is to install 1 pump for domestic occupancies and a dual pump system for residential occupancies.
Where the mains water supply connection serves only the watermist system, the flow rates at each pump must be 12lpm.
Where the mains water supply connection serves both the watermist system and the domestic or residential occupancy supply, the watermist system should be capable of providing the water demand at the pump/s by:
a) the operation of an automatic priority demand valve; or
b) for domestic occupancies, the flow rate at the pump plus at least 25 L/min; or
NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to the water regulations, which might require a greater minimum flow rate.
c) for residential occupancies, the flow rate at the pump plus at least 50 L/min.
NOTE 2 Attention is drawn to the water regulations which might require a greater minimum flow rate depending on the design demand for the occupancy
Flows should be tested and verified at the main water supply pipe to the property

Nozzle Spacing, Flat Ceilings –
Nozzle Spacing, Sloped Ceilings- Where nozzles are fitted within a sloping ceilings, nozzle positions should be determined by the pitch of the ceiling. Where the pitch is below 30°, nozzles should be mounted at standard spacing’s when measured in line with the pitch of the ceiling. Where the pitch is 30° and above, the first row of nozzles should be mounted within 300 mm radially from the apex of the ceiling. All nozzles should be mounted perpendicular to the ceiling as shown below
• 4x4m Grid (16M2)
• Max 2m from wall
• Minimum distance
between nozzles =2m
www.puckfire.com ©Copyright 2016, Puck Fire Ltd. All rights reserved.
Distance from Obstructions Nozzles should be positioned away from obstructions to allow a 140 degree spray pattern.
Nozzle orientation
www.puckfire.com ©Copyright 2016, Puck Fire Ltd. All rights reserved.
The preferred nozzle outlet orientation is perpendicular to the walls
Maximum Pipe Lengths
Pipe work should be configured as a loop not exceeding 60m in total length. Maximum 40 nozzles per loop. Loop length must be reduced by 1m for every tee or elbow added on the loop. Pipe length from the tee to the nozzle can be up to 1m long with one elbow without reducing the loop length.

INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING
WARNING Mains voltage electricity and high pressure water are present within this product. Care should be taken when installing the product. Installation should only be carried out by trained engineers. Appropriate PPE should be worn at all times when installing the product. Eye protection, gloves, safety boots and hard hat.
1. Remove all packaging from the components provided.
2. Install a 240v, 13A un-switched spur next to the proposed pump position.
www.puckfire.com ©Copyright 2016, Puck Fire Ltd. All rights reserved.
3. Connect strainer, inlet manifold and flexible hose to the mains water (ensure mains water is switched off before breaking into the water supply).
4. Verify the water supply flow by running it into a bucket to confirm the correct flow
5. Ensure the isolation valve in the inlet manifold is set to the closed position.
6. If provided with a monitoring system make connections to fire and fault relays as required. Access
can be gained to the electronics by removing the screws on the lid on the underside of the pump.
www.puckfire.com ©Copyright 2016, Puck Fire Ltd. All rights reserved.
WARNING The pump unit must be completely powered down before opening the electronics
enclosure
7. Refit lid to the electronics and position the pump it it’s final location. The pump must be situated
in a well ventilated area with no less that 100mm of free space around all sides of the unit. The
top of the pump unit must stay clear of any objects to allow for proper airflow and performance.
The pump must be located in a position above 4°C.
8. Connect power cable to un-switched spur ensuring that the power remains switched off at all times. Do not run the pump without water running through it. This will damage the pumps.
9. Use the threaded end of the inlet Manifold to connect directly to the threaded fitting on the bottom section of the pump. Warning! This fitting should only need to be hand tight if this does not create a seal tighten very slightly with a spanner until a seal is created. Overtightening will damage the components.
Fire & fault connections

exposed pipe should be installed in steel pipework. Pipework must never be exposed to temperatures below 4 °C.
12. Cut the pipework to length using pipe cutters ensuring a square edge is achieved with the cut.
13. Easyfit fittings – Insert pipe into fitting until it will not go any further. Tighten nut by using two
spanners. One spanner to tighten the nut and one spanner to hold the body of the fitting

14. Pushfit - Apply silicone lubricant to the end of the pipework. Insert the pipe into the fitting pushing hard to ensure that the pipe is inserted by 25mmmm. Ensure pipe is straight and is not being pulled to one side as this may create leaks
WARINING Pipework and fittings must not be installed in temperatures lower than 5°C as this can affect the ability of the pushfit to grip onto the pipework and create the required seal.
15. Use a 57-64mm hole saw to create the holes in the ceiling for fitting the nozzles.
16. Install nozzles ensuring that the 1/4” adaptor with a bonded seal is tightened with a spanner. Ensure bonded seal is used. Thread lock may be used if required. DO NOT USE PTFE OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF THREAD TAPE
17. Ensuring that the pipe network is complete open isolation valve on the inlet manifold to allow
mains pressure water into the system.

18. Slowly loosen the nozzle furthest away from the pump set to bleed the pipework of any trapped air. Allow any excess water to drain into a bucket. When all of the air has escaped remake the seal.
19. After ensuring that there are no initial leaks power up the pump to charge the system.
20. Leave to stand at system pressure for 1 hour. The pipe work will stretch over time causing some initial loss in pressure however it will settle to around 45bar.
The pumps may operate for up to 1 second to a day to make up for any small losses in pressure in the system. The pipe network should not be subject to significant leaks. The pumps should not operate more than once a day to make up loss of pressure or it may risk affect the life span of the components. Any leaks should be repaired immediately to avoid risk of damage to equipment.
21. When satisfied that there are no leaks power the pump down, shut off the water supply and put the nozzles into position using the retention springs.
22. Switch water supply and power back on to re-enable the system
