Ansul INERGEN User Manual

Description
The header vent plug is used to release low pressure build-
up that may occur in a closed system utilizing selector
valves or check valves. The header vent plug should also
be installed on the cylinder sides of the check valves on
both main and reserve systems to relieve any pressure that
may leak past the check valve and accidentally actuate the
reserve system while the main system is discharging.
