Kidde Manual Release Station Double Action Fire Safety Device

The Kidde Manual Release Station provides dependable manual control for critical fire suppression systems. Installed within a life safety or special hazard fire protection assembly, this device allows personnel to intentionally trigger agent release during an emergency. It operates as an initiating component that integrates directly with releasing modules and fire alarm control panels to command system actuation.

To satisfy life safety and code compliance mandates, installations involving manual release stations typically adhere to design and placement criteria governed by NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 2001 or related suppression standards. The double-action mechanism fulfills requirements for preventing inadvertent or accidental operation in high-traffic commercial and industrial environments.

• Double-Action Design: Requires a lift-then-pull motion to prevent accidental activation and enhance operational safety.
• Durable Construction: Built with rugged materials to withstand continuous use in demanding industrial environments.
• Clear Activation Instructions: Features straightforward labeling ("LIFT THEN PULL HANDLE") for rapid emergency response.
• System Integration: Installs easily and connects seamlessly with existing fire protection and suppression control panels.

Contractors and facility managers must verify all placement heights, electrical connections, and system compatibility requirements with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) prior to installation. Always consult the manufacturer's official technical data sheets and engineering manuals for complete wiring and mounting instructions.
