RANGE GUARD 1.3 GALLON WALL BRACKET 9197430

The Range Guard 9197430 (P/N 60-9197430-000) is the OEM wall bracket for 1.3-gallon Range Guard agent cylinders, used in small system installations where a compact kitchen fire suppression system is protecting a limited number of appliances. The 1.3-gallon cylinder is the smallest in the Range Guard lineup — typically deployed in countertop fryer configurations, small food truck installations, or supplemental protection zones within larger multi-cylinder range guard system designs. The 9197430 bracket ensures proper positioning and secure mounting per the range guard installation manual for this smallest cylinder class.

Even in small-format Range Guard installations, proper OEM bracket mounting is non-negotiable. The 9197430 is sized specifically for the 1.3-gallon cylinder diameter and weight — using a larger bracket that allows the small cylinder to shift within the mounting hardware creates an unstable installation that can allow actuation tubing connections to loosen over time. The range guard kitchen system manual specifies the 9197430 as the required bracket for 1.3-gallon configurations, and AHJ inspectors will verify that OEM hardware is used during installation inspections.

For fire protection contractors servicing the full spectrum of Range Guard kitchen fire suppression system components — from small single-fryer countertop installations to large multi-appliance hood systems — maintaining a stock of all Range Guard OEM brackets, including the 9197430, ensures every service call and new installation can be completed with correct OEM hardware. All Range Guard brackets should be inspected semi-annually per NFPA 17A and NFPA 96, with findings documented in the fire suppression system inspection record per the range guard service manual requirements. Source through authorized range guard distributors for confirmed OEM specification.

Anchor the 9197430 to structural wall substrate per NFPA 96 and the range guard installation manual. Despite the small cylinder size, the bracket must still be anchored to structural substrate — not drywall alone — to maintain the positional stability required for reliable system actuation. Verify cylinder plumb and actuation tubing routing per the range guard fire suppression system manual as-built specifications. Inspect semi-annually per NFPA 17A and NFPA 96: check fasteners for loosening, verify the cylinder retention strap is tight, confirm the 1.3-gallon cylinder is correctly positioned per the range guard kitchen system manual, and verify no corrosion or physical damage is present. Document all findings in the fire suppression system inspection record.

Is the 1.3-gallon system appropriate for a small commercial kitchen?

The 1.3-gallon Range Guard cylinder capacity is designed for small hazard configurations as specified in the range guard fire suppression system manual. Verify that the 1.3-gallon configuration provides adequate agent coverage for all protected appliances in your specific kitchen layout. The range guard nozzle chart pdf and range guard kitchen system manual contain the appliance coverage specifications for each cylinder size. For larger kitchens or multi-appliance configurations, a larger cylinder or multi-cylinder system may be required.

Can the 9197430 bracket be used for other small cylinders from other brands?

No. The 9197430 is dimensionally specific to the Range Guard 1.3-gallon cylinder. Using it for non-Range Guard cylinders may result in an incorrect fit and inadequate support. Always use the OEM bracket specified by the system manufacturer. For Amerex, Pyro-Chem, or ANSUL cylinder installations, use the appropriate OEM bracket for those systems.
