Potter Electric Signal Co. Us 1000468/STS-5 Sampling Tube

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US 1000468/STS-5 is a 5-foot sampling tube designed for use with air-sampling smoke detection systems. Sampling tubes draw air from the protected space and deliver it to the detector head for analysis, allowing early-warning detection before smoke levels become visible. At 5 feet in length, this tube is suited for standard spacing requirements in typical ceiling or duct installations. Fire alarm technicians and system integrators install this component as part of a complete air-sampling detection assembly.

This sampling tube is intended for fire protection applications where air-sampling detection equipment is deployed. Common installation environments include commercial buildings, data centers, clean rooms, and other occupancies where early smoke detection is critical. The tube integrates into the sampling pipe network that feeds the detection unit, and its 5-foot length accommodates standard branch-run configurations in these systems.

Key Features

• 5-foot length suits standard air-sampling network branch runs
• Designed for use with air-sampling smoke detection systems
• Sold individually as a single unit replacement or extension component
• Fire accessories category — compatible with fire alarm detection assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sampling tube accessory for air-sampling smoke detection systems. Verify compatibility with the specific detector model and pipe network design before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and the detector manufacturer's design and installation guidelines. De-energize and lock out the fire alarm control panel before servicing any connected detection components. Ensure sampling hole orientation and tube positioning conform to the system design documents. Do not modify tube length or drill additional sampling ports without engineering review.
