100016 RANGE GUARD A+ SET SCREW (25 PACK)

The Range Guard 100016 is a 25-pack of OEM set screws for Range Guard A+ system assemblies, including control heads and cable components. Set screws are the mechanical fasteners that lock cable and assembly components in their calibrated positions throughout the Range Guard A+ kitchen fire suppression system. A properly torqued set screw maintains the precise cable tension and component alignment required for reliable system actuation — a loose or missing set screw can allow components to shift out of position, creating a potential ghost trip or actuation failure.

The A+ system uses set screws at multiple critical connection points including control head cable attachments and detection network cable terminations. The OEM 100016 set screws are manufactured to the precise thread specification and hardness required for Range Guard A+ hardware — ensuring correct torque retention in the vibration-prone commercial kitchen environment. Using generic hardware store set screws risks thread stripping or inadequate clamping force that can allow components to work loose over time.

For fire protection contractors servicing Range Guard kitchen fire suppression system components, the 100016 25-pack is the correct consumable stocking unit for A+ system service visits. Set screws should be replaced at every full system service to ensure thread integrity. Keeping this pack in your range guard service supplies inventory ensures complete A+ system service can be accomplished in a single visit without sourcing individual hardware items. Authorized range guard distributors carry the full Range Guard A+ hardware catalog including the 100016 set screw pack.

Semi-Annual Inspection

During NFPA 17A and NFPA 96 semi-annual inspections of Range Guard A+ systems, verify all set screw connections are properly torqued per the range guard installation manual torque specifications. In high-vibration commercial kitchen environments, set screws can work loose between service intervals. Use a calibrated torque tool — not a standard hex key — to verify and set correct torque. Document set screw inspection findings in the fire suppression system inspection record.

Post-Discharge Service

After any Range Guard system discharge, all set screw connections must be inspected and replaced as part of the post-discharge service procedure per the range guard service manual. Discharge forces can loosen set screws that appear visually intact. Installing fresh 100016 set screws at every post-discharge service resets the mechanical integrity of all cable and component connections throughout the A+ system.

Can I use generic set screws from a hardware store?

No. The 100016 OEM set screws are manufactured to the specific thread pitch, hardness, and torque specification required for Range Guard A+ system hardware. Generic set screws may strip threads, under-clamp components, or fail under the vibration and temperature cycling of a commercial kitchen environment. Using non-OEM hardware voids the system's compliance with the range guard fire suppression system manual service requirements. Source through authorized range guard distributors.

How many set screws does a typical A+ system require?

The number of set screws per system varies based on the A+ system configuration and the number of control head cable connections and detection network termination points. Consult the range guard kitchen system manual and the as-built drawings for your specific installation to determine the total set screw count. The 25-pack format ensures sufficient quantity for a complete system service with spares remaining for the next visit.
