ModuLaser RP5209 — 3/4 in. red CPVC sampling pipe for air-aspirating smoke detection, 7.5 ft. length.
Sampling pipe is part of the detector rather than an accessory to it: bore, run length and joint quality set the transport time and the airflow the detector sees. It bonds permanently with solvent cement and carries its NFPA identification printed along the length in English and Spanish, so no separate labels are needed.
- Nominal 3/4 in. CPVC, catalogued by Edwards as Sch-40 with 0.874 in. inside diameter
- 7.5 ft. length; the same pipe in a 15 ft. length is RP5209-15
- CPVC is UL 1887 listed for plenum spaces
- Fire system red, with the sampling-pipe warning preprinted along the pipe
- CPVC operating temperature from 40 °F below zero to 201 °F
Edwards states this pipe is intended for ModuLaser and AirSense aspirating detectors and that use on another aspiration system may void the warranty. Fittings are separate numbers, singly or ten to a bag: RP5202X elbows, RP5203X 45s, RP5204X tees, RP5205X end caps, RP5206X couplings, RP5215X radius bends, RP5207 pipe-to-detector adapter and RP5208 union.
