Fixed Orifice Total Flooding coverages are offered in two different versions: “Standard and “Module
Perimeter”. e system designer must select the appropriate coverage to use prior to installation.
e Fixed Orifice Total Flood Discharge Nozzles have been tested by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. with
respect to the total flood protection of hazards incorporating unclosable openings not exceeding 5% of
the total hazard surface area. If hazards have openings in excess of 5%, the openings can be protected with
inclusion of screening nozzles for unclosable openings up to 19% of the total hazard surface area.
As an alternative to the use of screening nozzles for the protection of total flooding applications where
the unclosable openings have areas between 5 percent of the total enclosure surface area enclosure and 15
percent, compensation shall be furnished by additional dry chemical in the proportion of not less than 1 lb/
ft² (4.88 kg/m²) of unclosed opening, applied simultaneously by local application over the openings.
NOTE: When using the screening nozzles to protect unclosable openings up to and not exceeding 19% of
the total enclosure surface area, additional supplemental dry chemical is not required.
