  • System for testing a duct smoke or other hazardous gas detector and method for use thereof
    Patent number: 6741181
    Abstract: A confined gas stream coupled hazardous gas detector enclosure includes a housing and a cover such that the housing and cover together define a housing volume adapted to enclose the detector. An aperture is present in either the housing or cover, and a port test valve is seated within the aperture. A nozzle matable to the port test valve is used to deliver a hazardous gas test mixture to the housing volume to elicit an active alarm signal from the detector without opening the cover.
