3-15.4 Pipe Sizing
The following table may be used as an estimating guide for sizing distribution piping. This table
is intended for use as a guide only. Use the Kidde IGS Flow Calculation software for the final
design.
3-15.5 Temperature Limitations
3-15.5.1 Operating/Storage Temperature Range
The Kidde IGS equipment listed herein is designed to operate within the range of
-4° to 130°F (-20° to 54°C). The Kidde IGS Flow Calculation software assumes a temperature
of 20°C (68°F).
