A pulley elbow is a device that contains a ball bearing sheave(pulley) which guides stainless steel cable 90 degrees around the sheave. It is defined as a device used to change direction for stainless steel wire cable, which is housed in conduit and is used to connect to a cable operated manual pull station, a mechanical gas valve, and/or the fusible link detection, from the Ansul AUTOMAN Regulated Release Mechanism. It is used because bending conduit results in too much friction loss in the movement of the cable in the conduit. There are two types of pulley elbows. Part No. 415670 has socket ends with set screws for ½ in. conduit, and Part No. 423250 has compression ring ends also for ½ in. conduit.

CONT

... fire-suppression system, ... To accommodate 90-degree turns in the cable, the appellant uses corner pulleys, which serve as fittings to the conduit while allowing for free movement of the cable. Corner pulleys are composed of high-temperature aluminum and employ a grooved wheel within which the cable runs. The wheel turns freely by use of steel ball bearings.

CONT

Three types of actuation are available for the INERGEN [total flooding] system: manual, pneumatic, and electric. ... The maximum number of corner pulley elbows is 10. ... Installation - Manual Actuation. Pulley elbow [is] required at each change of direction.
