Wholesale PricingThe Ansul Remote Manual Pull Station without Dual Block (P/N 437244) is the manual activation point for an Ansul R-102 Restaurant Fire Suppression System, the pre-engineered wet chemical system that protects commercial kitchen hoods, ducts, and cooking appliances. Molded from red composite material for immediate visual identification, it gives kitchen staff a way to trigger a full system discharge by hand, independent of the automatic fusible link detection network.
This configuration omits the dual block junction component found on some pull station variants, making it the correct choice for system layouts where the detection cable runs in a single direction from the station rather than splitting to two separate runs. The unit ships with a 50 ft length of the stainless steel detection cable used throughout the system. Pulling the station's ring handle relieves cable tension at the AUTOMAN release mechanism's trip lever, actuating the system exactly as a separated fusible link would. The station is installed at a point of egress, mounted at a height set by the authority having jurisdiction.

The R-102 system is a pre-engineered system under NFPA 17A and must be installed and serviced only by an Ansul certified distributor. Installing or relocating a pull station outside of that certification can affect cable tension throughout the detection network and compromise correct actuation.
- Monthly Visual Inspection: Confirm the pull station is unobstructed, the pull ring is intact, and any tamper seal is in place.
- Semiannual Professional Service: Required under NFPA 17A and NFPA 96, a qualified technician must test the pull station by manually actuating the system per the manufacturer's testing procedure and verify proper cable tension throughout the run.
- Post-Discharge Service: After any actuation, the pull station, cable, and full detection network must be inspected, reset, and recertified before the system returns to service.
What does the dual block do, and why doesn't this version have one?
A dual block is a junction fitting used when the detection cable network needs to branch in two directions from the pull station location. This version omits that component because it is intended for layouts where the cable continues in a single run. Your certified R-102 distributor determines which configuration a given kitchen layout requires.
Can I substitute this for the version with the dual block, or vice versa?
No. The two configurations are designed for different cable routing layouts. Substituting the wrong version can leave a detection branch disconnected or improperly tensioned. Always match the part number specified in your system's design documentation.
Can I install this myself?
No. The R-102 system is a pre-engineered, certified fire suppression system. Installation and any modification to the pull station or detection cable network must be performed by an Ansul certified distributor to maintain the system's listing and ensure correct actuation.
