Are DuPont™ FM-200® cylinders required to be located outside the room being protected?
DuPont™ FM-200® cylinders may be placed in or out of the protected space, depending on the needs of the client. Both NFPA 2001, Clean Agent Standard and ISO 14520 allow the cylinders to be placed within or outside the protected space. It is always a good idea to keep the cylinders as close to the protected area as possible and remember to account for ease of access for service and maintenance.
