ABSTRACT:
A fire detecting valve activation assembly for vehicle fire suppression systems that have a pressurized gas fire suppressant cylinder and a pressurized gas fire suppressant distribution line terminating in a release valve having an actuator shaft for closing and opening the release valve. The fire detecting valve activation assembly includes a nozzle and a lead link fire detecting valve activation assembly. The lead link fire detecting valve activation assembly includes a valve body within which the release valve is installed such that an exterior portion of the actuator shaft extends out from the valve body, a valve actuator arm having a retaining link attachment pin extending outwardly therefrom, the valve actuator arm being rigidly coupled to the exterior portion of the actuator shaft, a spring anchoring pin extending from the exterior of the valve body, a biasing spring connected between the valve actuator arm and the spring anchoring pin such that the spring applies a force to the valve actuator arm urging the valve actuator arm in a direction to open the release valve, a retaining link securing screw threadable into a threaded securing screw aperture formed into the valve body, and a lead retaining link connected between the retaining link attachment pin and the retaining link securing screw.
