CaptiveAire EWC - Range with Upright Obstruction

33
Range with Upright Obstruction
Salamander/Cheesemelters that are mounted over range(s) require dedicated coverage. Coverage for
range w/upright obstruction is 18" wide by 26" long (deep) per nozzle. The R nozzle must be positioned at
the left to right edge and centered on the depth of the protected area. One R nozzle can provide protection
for ranges 18 inches wide by 26 inches deep. Two R nozzles can provide protection for a range 36 inches
wide by 26 inches deep. Additional nozzle(s) must be used for ranges exceeding 18” in width, provided no
single nozzle coverage exceeds 18” max-width. Refer to Figure 33 for an example of modular coverage
using two nozzles. Salamander/Cheesemelters should follow appliance coverage for “Upright Broiler/
Salamander Protection” on page 28.
All dimensions fixed unless otherwise noted (e.g., min/max).
NOTE: Appliance Drop Fittings Must Not be Sealed with Pipe Dope or Teflon Tape.

Notes:
When protecting ranges in accordance with these low proximity recommendations, the following minimum
pipe requirements must be met to prevent splash:
• Minimum of 16’ of pipe, 1 tee & 4 elbows prior to the first R nozzle protecting a low-proximity range.
• Minimum 6.5’ of pipe after the tee.
• Minimum of 6 flows in the system.
