In large-scale culinary environments such as stadium concessions, university dining halls, and hotel banquet kitchens, the fire hazard often spans 15 to 25 feet of continuous cook line. Protecting this footprint requires the simultaneous discharge of multiple tanks. The 73022 is specifically designed to provide the massive volume of dry nitrogen gas required for a synchronized discharge event of two 3.0-gallon agent tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eConstructed from high-tensile steel and finished in an industrial-grade red powder coat, the 73022 is a mission-critical component of the AUTOMAN release mechanism. By utilizing a single high-capacity propellant source to drive a master-slave tank configuration, facility managers can reduce mechanical failure points, ensuring that the ANSULEX agent reaches every nozzle with the exact velocity needed to suppress a grease fire before it reaches the exhaust duct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eHigh-Volume Manifold Hydraulics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe 73022 operates on a puncture-and-regulate logic. Upon triggering, the nitrogen is released into the regulated release assembly where the approximately 2,092 PSI tank pressure is stepped down to a consistent 110 PSI (7.6 bar). This pressure stability ensures the 73022 provides enough nitrogen to fill the volume of two 3.0-gallon tanks while maintaining the discharge pressure required for a perfect misting spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eInert Stability Advantage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eUnlike CO2, which fluctuates significantly based on ambient kitchen temperatures, high-purity dry nitrogen remains exceptionally stable. This inert stability ensures that the discharge timing of the R-102 system is identical whether the kitchen is at 70°F or 110°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eVisual Readiness Audit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eUnique to the larger Ansul cartridges, the 73022 features an integrated 0 to 4,000 PSI pressure gauge. This allows facility managers to perform a visual readiness audit without specialized tools. A needle in the green zone provides confidence that the propellant has not suffered a silent leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eLower Total Cost of Ownership\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eStandardizing on the 73022 for large hoods allows for a master-slave configuration. By using one large cartridge to power two tanks, you eliminate the need for secondary control heads, reducing the per-inspection labor cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eMaintaining the Design Envelope\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe R-102 is a listed system.

Pre-charged to 1,800 PSI at 70°F, this cartridge supplies the high-pressure nitrogen gas needed to trigger the agent discharge valve when the system activates. In plain terms: it's the gas-powered trigger that opens the suppression cylinder valve and gets the fire-fighting agent moving toward the nozzles. Without a properly charged actuation cartridge, the system cannot discharge agent even if everything else is working correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThis cartridge is a single-use component once punctured during system activation, it's depleted and must be replaced before the system can be re-armed. It's also replaced on a scheduled basis even without a discharge: over time, a small amount of nitrogen can slowly leak through the cartridge seals, and a partially depleted cartridge may not supply enough pressure for reliable valve actuation. Checking cartridge pressure is part of every semi-annual NFPA 17A and NFPA 96 inspection, and a cartridge that reads below its rated pressure gets replaced on the spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003ePre-charged to 1,800 PSI at 70°F, the 12856 cartridge supplies the high-pressure nitrogen gas needed to trigger agent discharge valves in Amerex IS and KP systems. Depending on the system configuration and piping length, one cartridge may support actuation of multiple agent cylinders simultaneously. Check the Amerex IS or KP system documentation for your specific configuration. This is an OEM Amerex cartridge, the correct pressure specification and flow characteristics are engineered for Amerex's discharge valve geometry. Using a generic nitrogen cartridge with a different pressure or flow rate risks sluggish or failed valve actuation. Available through authorized Amerex distributors.

Known as the small actuation cartridge, the BFR-AC-S is the primary energy source within the SRM or SRM2-M Releasing Module. In a fire emergency, this cartridge provides the instantaneous pneumatic pulse required to trigger the discharge of agent cylinders. While the larger L cartridge is reserved for massive industrial lines, the BFR-AC-S is the industry standard for small-to-medium hood configurations, such as those found in food trucks, cafes, and standard quick-service restaurants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eManufactured from high-strength steel with a gold-colored puncture diaphragm, each BFR-AC-S is factory-charged with high-purity dry nitrogen.

LT-30-R Nitrogen Cartridge (Part No. 5373) is a high-precision, 30-gram pressurization component engineered specifically for use in ANSUL mechanical fire suppression systems, including the industry-leading R-102 and Piranha restaurant systems. While the fire suppression agent (ANSULEX) is the material that puts out the flames, the LT-30-R cartridge is the \"pulse\" that makes it happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n \u003cp\u003eIn a mechanical fire suppression setup, the LT-30-R acts as the primary propellant for the actuation line. Upon system triggering—whether via a fusible link melting or a manual pull station being activated—the firing pin within the ANSUL AUTOMAN release mechanism punctures the copper seal of the LT-30-R. The 30 grams of compressed nitrogen are instantly released into the actuation piping, providing the pneumatic pressure required to open the agent tank valves and initiate the discharge of fire suppressant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eThe Role of Nitrogen in Pneumatic Actuation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eNitrogen is the preferred gas for fire suppression actuation because of its high stability and moisture-free characteristics. Unlike standard compressed air, which contains oxygen and water vapor that can lead to internal pipe corrosion or sluggish response times, the pure nitrogen in the LT-30-R ensures a consistent, lightning-fast response regardless of the ambient temperature or humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30-Gram Precision:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 30-gram charge is specifically calibrated for systems with longer actuation lines or multiple agent tanks. It provides the exact volume of gas needed to fill the \"void space\" in the piping while maintaining enough pressure (P.S.I.) to forcefully engage the pneumatic actuators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstantaneous Expansion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upon puncture, the nitrogen expands rapidly, traveling through the 1\/16\" or 1\/4\" actuation lines.

Using CO2 can change the pressure dynamics and may cause the liquid agent to freeze or discharge incorrectly, potentially causing the system to fail during a fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cscript\u003e\n document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {\n const accordionHeaders = document.querySelectorAll('.accordion-header');\n \n accordionHeaders.forEach(header =\u003e {\n header.addEventListener('click', function() {\n const accordionItem = this.parentElement;\n const isActive = accordionItem.classList.contains('active');\n \n \/\/ Toggle current item\n accordionItem.classList.toggle('active');\n this.setAttribute('aria-expanded', !isActive);\n });\n });\n });\n \u003c\/script\u003e\n\n \u003c!-- JSON-LD Product Schema (hidden from customers) --\u003e\n \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n {\n \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n \"@type\": \"Product\",\n \"name\": \"Ansul LT-30-R Nitrogen Cartridge (30g)\",\n \"description\": \"Precision System Actuation - High-precision 30-gram nitrogen pressurization component for Ansul R-102 and Piranha mechanical fire suppression systems\",\n \"sku\": \"005373\",\n \"mpn\": \"005373\",\n \"brand\": {\n \"@type\": \"Brand\",\n \"name\": \"Ansul\"\n },\n \"manufacturer\": {\n \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n \"name\": \"Ansul (A Johnson Controls Brand)\"\n },\n \"additionalProperty\": [\n {\n \"@type\": \"PropertyValue\",\n \"name\": \"Model\",\n \"value\": \"LT-30-R\"\n },\n {\n \"@type\": \"PropertyValue\",\n \"name\": \"Charge Weight\",\n \"value\": \"30 Grams\"\n },\n {\n \"@type\": \"PropertyValue\",\n \"name\": \"Agent\",\n \"value\": \"High-Purity Nitrogen (N2)\"\n },\n {\n \"@type\": \"PropertyValue\",\n \"name\": \"System Compatibility\",\n \"value\": \"Ansul R-102, Piranha, and Mechanical Automan\"\n },\n {\n \"@type\": \"PropertyValue\",\n \"name\": \"Cartridge Weight\",\n \"value\": \"0.8 lbs\"\n },\n {\n \"@type\": \"PropertyValue\",\n \"name\": \"Construction\",\n \"value\": \"Drawn-Steel with Corrosion-Resistant Finish\"\n },\n {\n \"@type\": \"PropertyValue\",\n \"name\": \"Certifications\",\n \"value\": \"DOT-39, TC-39M, UL Listed, FM Approved, NFPA 17A, NFPA 96\"\n }\n ],\n \"category\": \"Fire Suppression Equipment\"\n }\n \u003c\/script\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ansul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45933004390565,"sku":"005373","price":171.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/5605\/8021\/files\/ansul-default-title-ansul-lt-30-r-nitrogen-cartridge-005373-33338527318181_dc5e23c8-b3ae-42ca-a838-1c115af1ac23.webp?v=1771286732"},{"product_id":"range-guard-nitrogen-test-cartridge-rg120044","title":"Range Guard Nitrogen Test Cartridge 120044","description":"\u003cp\u003eDisposable nitrogen cartridge used for testing Range Guard fire suppression systems.
