How to Make Data Center Fittings Kits
Common temporary kits used in data centers for various operational, safety, and maintenance functions include Temporary Water Supply Kits, Cooling Commissioning & Bypass Kits, Generator Fuel Transfer Kits, and Fire Suppression Test & Fill Kits.
Temporary Supply Kit:
These kits provide an alternative source of water when primary systems are not yet up and running, or they are offline for maintenance or an unexpected outage. This kit ensures that essential operations continue; this is particularly necessary for cooling systems that rely heavily on water. To assemble a water supply kit, the main items required will be listed below. You can click directly on the ‘types’ or ‘sizes’ to go directly to the product pages.
To assemble this kit, you will need:
- *Brass Type C Female Hose Camlock (Size 1", Size 1-1/4", Size 1-1/2", Size 2")
- *Brass Type E Male Hose Camlock (Size 1", Size 1-1/4", Size 1-1/2", Size 2" )
- *Brass Type DC Camlock Dust Caps (Size 1", Size 1-1/4", Size 1-1/2", Size 2")
- *Brass Type DP Camlock Dust Plugs (Size 1", Size 1-1/4", Size 1-1/2", Size 2")
- Brass or Stainless Steel Ball Valves ( Size 1", Size 1-1/4", Size 1-1/2", Size 2")
- Hydrant Adapter (To be Sourced)
- Lay Flat discharge Hose (To be Sourced)
Note: Brass is still the most common material used; however, Stainless Steel is stronger, corrosion-resistant, and a more premium material.
Cooling Commissioning & Bypass Kit:
These kits ensure that liquid cooling systems are correctly installed by managing the flow of coolant, performing system tests, and optimizing airflow. Besides the fittings and hoses, these kits may also contain coolant distribution units (CDUs), load banks, and air management products. To assemble a cooling commissioning and bypass kit, the fittings required will be listed below. You can click directly on the ‘types’ or ‘sizes’ to go directly to the product pages.
