Cylinder Sizes
The Buckeye Fire Equipment Kitchen Mister Fire Suppression System has available four (4) cylinder sizes; the Model
BFR-5 (5 flow points), Model BFR-10 (10 flow points), Model BFR-15 (15 flow points), and Model BFR-20 (20 flow
points). Cylinder sizes are based on the flow point capacity of the cylinder, for example, the BFR-5 is capable of
supporting a maximum of five (5) flow points. All cylinders are manufactured, marked, and tested in accordance with DOT
4BW240. Each cylinder is shipped pre-filled with extinguishing agent, and charged with dry nitrogen to a pressure of 195

Mechanical Gas Shutoff Valves
A gas shutoff valve is required for all systems protecting

gas fueled appliances. A mechanical means of stopping
gas flow is provided by the Models BFGV-75 / 100 / 125
/ 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 Gas Shutoff Valves. It is
connected to the Systems Releasing Module with:
• 1/16” (0.16 cm) stainless steel cable enclosed in 1/2”

(1.3 cm) EMT conduit with a corner pulley at each
change of direction.
• Buckeye Shielded Cable which does not require a
corner pulley at each change of direction or conduit.
• A combination of both.
The valves are rated for natural or LP gas (see Figure 2-

DETECTOR PLACEMENT
Detectors (fusible links) are required to be placed in the
air stream of each appliance (one detector per
appliance) and in the opening of the exhaust duct(s) of
protected ventilation hoods. Detectors shall be located
in the plenum area of the ventilation hood behind the
filters, which provide protection for the detection system.
Exhaust Duct Detector Placement
Each exhaust duct must have at least one (1) detector

installed. The detector is to be centered in the duct
entrance and no more than 12” (30.5 cm) into ductwork.
Cooking Appliance Detector Placement
Each cooking appliance with a continuous cooking

surface area of less than 48” (122 cm) x 48” (122 cm)
must be protected by one (1) detector. The detector is
to be located over the surface of the appliance and in its
air stream when the ventilation system is turned on.
Cooking appliances with continuous cooking surfaces
larger than 48” (122 cm) x 48” (122 cm) must be
protected by multiple detectors, using one detector for
every 48” (122 cm) x 48” (122 cm) of continuous
cooking area.
Exception: If a cooking appliance or appliances are

located under a duct opening where a detector has
been mounted, it is not necessary to utilize an additional
detector as long the duct detector is not more than 12”
(30.5 cm) into the duct opening. See Figure 3-26.

BUCKEYE SHIELDED CABLE INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Buckeye Shielded Cable (Patent Pending) is flexible conduit with a 1/16” (0.16 cm) stainless steel cable core that can
be used for all system inputs and outputs (fusible link line, gas valve line, and remote pull station line) instead of using
conduit and corner pulleys.
Note: If Buckeye Shielded Cable is not used for system controls, a combination of Buckeye Shielded Cable and 1/2” (1.3
cm) EMT conduit with corner pulleys or just 1/2” (1.3 cm) EMT conduit and corner pulleys are also approved.
In general, Buckeye Shielded Cable is attached at one end to the System Releasing Module with a Buckeye Shielded
Cable Interface, run to where it needs to be terminated (hood, gas valve, or pull station), and connected at the other
end with another Buckeye Shielded Cable Interface. See Figure 4-5.
The Shielded Cable Interface holds the outer flexible conduit and allows the 1/16” (0.16 cm) stainless steel cable to
pass through. It connects to any standard 1/2” (1.3 cm) conduit type connection fitting, such as a corner pulley or
conduit connector.

Fusible Link Line Installation Overview

In general, fusible links are installed in the plenum area of the ventilation hood and connected to the System
Releasing Module using stainless steel cable. This cable is kept under tension by the System Releasing Module until
a fusible link separates, actuating the suppression system.
The following methods are approved for the installation of the fusible link detection line:
Method #1:
• Buckeye Shielded Cable used to connect the Systems Releasing Module to the plenum.
• No fusible link brackets or conduit used in the plenum area.
• Approved with or without the use of Fusible Link Holders.

NOTE: Because of the high heat this type of nozzle cap

may be exposed to, the Model BFR-UBC and o-ring
must be inspected semi-annually. The cap must be
removed, cleaned and checked to assure it slides easily
on and off the nozzle body. If the cap does not slide
easily off the nozzle tip, the o-ring and cap must be
