Action may be required on your part. Please read the following carefully and note Required Field Actions.  \nIssue Description  \nThe 2-inch valve used on the Kidde Chemical Agent Cylinder-Valve assemblies has four (4) retainer screws in its piston design. It has come to our attention that some valves, with one or more of these retainer screws not tightened to the required torque specification, may have escaped the production and inspection process into shipping.  \nThe 2-inch valve operates on a differential pressure design and the loss of any of the screws from its set position could potentially result in equalizing of pressure between the cylinder and the top chamber of the valve. Such pressure equilibrium could prevent the valve from fully opening and the suppression agent from being discharged into the affected space if activated in response to a fire event.  \nImmediately following identification of this issue, corrective action was taken to ensure accuracy of the required tightening torque. This contained the affected manufacture dates for the above issue to:  \n45-150000-001 2\" Valve NOVEC-PI Mark -Jan 16, 2015-December 31 , 2016 90-150000-X0X 2\" Valve HFC227-PI Mark -Jan 16, 2015-December 31 , 2016  \n2-inch valves utilizing the 4-retainer screw design started shipping on Jan 16, 2015 and until December 31 , 2016 when the issue was discovered and corrective action taken to ensure accuracy of the required tightening torque.  \nSolution Being Implemented  \nKidde is committed to ensuring that all fire suppression systems function fully as intended.  \nIn order to completely eliminate the possibility of non-operation of any installed system, we have decided to replace all ECS 2-inch Cylinder-Valve assemblies complete with Clean Agent that were shipped for marine applications during the period Jan 16, 2015 until December 31, 2016.  \nAt this time, replacement is restricted to marine applications since we believe that the vibrating environment on a marine vessel could exacerbate the loss of any improperly tightened screw from its set position.  \nIf you are aware of ECS systems installed in other environments similarly prone to significant vibration, please contact [Kidde.recall@kiddeuk.co.uk](Kidde.recall@kiddeuk.co.uk)  \nPart numbers of the suspect Cylinder-Valve assemblies are as follows:  \n\n| Suspect\u003Cbr>Part Number | Description | Approved\u003Cbr>Application |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 45-200200-001 | ECS FK-5-1-12 Cylinder-Valve Assembly, 81L.
