THE SYSTEM
A test port at every detector.
The DSDS routes plenum-rated tubing from the duct to an accessible, ground-level port. Open the cap, spray canned smoke, and the test smoke enters the duct airstream upwind of the detector's sampling tubes — exactly as NFPA 72 requires.

P/N SSU-DSDS
Duct Smoke Delivery System
Routes 1" plenum-rated tubing from the duct to a convenient, uninhibited ground-level access point — so any detector, however hard to reach, is tested from where the technician stands.

P/N SSU-DSDP
Duct Smoke Delivery Port
A fixed, repeatable port on the ductwork itself for introducing test smoke directly upwind of the sampling tubes — no cutting and patching the duct for each test.
FIG. 2 — DSDP EXPLODED VIEW + REFERENCE DIMENSIONS (IN.)
Built on the code, not around it.
The magnet test closes a circuit and creates a record — it never proves the detector can detect smoke. The DSDS makes the real test the easy one.
NFPA 72 (2022) — 14.4.3.2(e)
"…test duct smoke detectors that use sampling tubes to ensure that they will properly sample the airstream in the duct using a method acceptable to the manufacturer or in accordance with their published instructions."
The DSDS introduces test smoke directly into the duct airstream — the method the code describes.
