CPY-900
Product Overview
Specifications
Model CPY-900 shall be filled as follows:
Model CPY-900 cylinder uses a 4”-inch (10.2 cm.)
valve outlet designed for victaulic fittings and
pipe only. These pressure-seated valves are
designed for high-flow rates to meet the rapid
discharge time specified in NFPA 2001.

Model CPY-900 can be filled with HFC-227ea
suppression agent or with 3M™ Novec™ 1230
Fire Protection Fluid. Each cylinder is
pressurized with nitrogen to 360 psig at 70°F
(21.1°C), and is manufactured, tested and
marked in accordance with DOT 4BA500 or
4BW500 specifications for the various sizes.
Model CPY-900 is DOT and Transport Canada (TC)
approved.
Model CPY-900 is fitted with lifting lugs for
convenience in handling, and the base is
designed to distribute the weight across a
floor area of a fully-charged cylinder.
Model CPY-900 incorporates a similar design as
the other cylinder valves, and utilizes 304
stainless steel rather than brass.
The discharge outlet is fitted with an anti-recoil
plug. The anti-coil plug is a safety device to
prevent movement of the cylinder in the event
of discharge – while the cylinder valve is neither
connected to the piping system, nor is securely
fastened to a solid structure.

Valve Controls
The 4” (10.2 cm.) valve size accepts the same set
of valve controls described below:
Electronic Solenoid Valve
The optional Electronic Solenoid Valve, which
must be ordered separately, opens upon electric
energy being applied – thus relieving the pressure
above the valve piston and causing the cylinder
valve to open. For electrical connections, the
Electronic Solenoid Valve is furnished with 24"
(61 cm.) pigtails.
Local Manual Control Head
The Local Manual Control Head (Model CPYLMC2) is installed on the Supervised Electronic
Releasing Solenoid, Model CPYEC-2-24. When
the safety pull pin is taken out, and the push
button is manually triggered, it will cause a pin to
depress and open the pilot check on the valve.
Agent pressure is then released above the valve
piston.
Piston Actuator / Secondary Cylinder
The Piston Actuator / Secondary Cylinder (Model
CPY-PAS2) installs on the top-plug adapter.
Model CPY-PAS2 contains a piston of sufficient
area to provide the necessary force to open the
pilot check – once pressure from the agent
discharge of a primary cylinder is applied
through 1/4" (0.64 cm.) tubing. Additionally,
Model CPY-PAS2 is used on piston-operated
secondary cylinders, which are released
simultaneously with the primary Sinorix
cylinder.
One (1) primary cylinder can be used to pressure
operate up to a maximum of seven (7)
secondary cylinders. If more than seven (7)
cylinders are required, the engineer may use two
(2) electric primary Sinorix cylinders.
All cylinder valves have a pressure-actuation
outlet port. The piston-actuation outlet port
opens into the same space as the valve outlet
and is only under pressure while the valve is
discharging. The port has a 1/8" (0.32 cm.) pipe
thread, which is fitted with a pipe plug.
s Industry, Inc.
Building Technologies Division
The pipe plug is removed when the port is used.
The tubing or pipe is connected to the outlet
‘M,’ and runs to the pressure actuators on the
secondary cylinders.

Cylinder Mounting Straps & Brackets
The steel straps and brackets are used to
mount the cylinders in vertical position:
The brackets, which can be used for wallmounting purposes, are secured to adjacent
wall studs.
Liquid Level Indicator
The Liquid Level Indicator operates magnetically,
so there is no need to move or disconnect
cylinders. Uninterrupted hazard protection is a
key feature of the liquid level indicator.
Additionally, the liquid level indicator is factory
installed.
Low-Pressure Indicating Switch
The Sinorix Low-Pressure Indicating Switch
(Model CPY-PSS1) is a single-pole, single-throw
switch that is mounted to the cylinder valve
during production.
Model CPY-PSS1 will remain in the (NC)
position when no pressure is set against the
switch. In Normal operating position, the LowPressure switch is set at 360 psig. When the
cylinder valve is pressurized, Model CPY-PSS1
will move into the open position.
Upon loss of pressure from the cylinder valve –
due to discharge or leakage – Model CPY-PSS1
moves to a closed position at 291psig. Model
CPY-PSS1 is monitored by a Supervisory point
on the fire-alarm control panel (FACP). The
FACP provides a Supervisory alarm upon loss of
pressure below the PSIG set point.
