FM-200 Suppression Systems

FM-200 Suppression Systems

FM-200 has long been the most commonly used alternative to Halon 1301. It delivers effective fire suppression without the use of water, leaving no residue or particles behind. This agent has been installed in over 100,000 systems across more than 70 countries worldwide.

• Suitable for use in occupied spaces

• No impact on the ozone layer (Zero ODP)

• Activates in 10 seconds or less to quickly suppress fires and reduce damage to critical equipment.

• Recognized by the U.S. EPA under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP)

• Designed to meet NFPA 2001 standards

• Certified by UL and approved by FM

• A marine version is also available, approved by the USCG and ABS

What is FM-200?

FM-200™ (HFC-227ea), also known as heptafluoropropane (CF₃CHFCF₃), is composed of carbon, fluorine, and hydrogen. Its primary method of fire suppression is through heat absorption, with an additional chemical effect resulting from its breakdown in high temperatures within the flame.

This agent is safe for use in occupied areas when applied at standard design concentrations. FM-200™ does not leave any residue after discharge. It is non-corrosive and compatible with most common materials, including metals like aluminum, brass, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, lead, and copper, as well as with rubber, plastics, and sensitive electronic equipment.

FK-5-1-12 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System

FK-5-1-12 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System

A Next Generation Halon 1301 replacement, FK-5-1-12 is an environmentally friendly solution for waterless fire suppression.

• Safe for human occupancy.
• Atmospheric Lifetime of <5 days, making Global Warming Potential (GWP) negligible.
• Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
• Appears on US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) list
• Discharges in 10 seconds or less to extinguish fires rapidly, minimizing damage to high value assets.
• Designed in accordance with NFPA 2001
• UL listed and FM approved
• Marine system with USCG and ABS approvals also available

What is FK-5-1-12?

FK-5-1-12 is formed from the elements carbon, fluorine and oxygen [CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2 – dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one]. The primary extinguishing mechanism of FK-5-1-12 is heat absorption, with a secondary chemical contribution from the thermal decomposition of FK-5-1-12 in the flame.

FK-5-1-12 leaves no residue and is safe for use in occupied spaces. It is electrically non-conducive and environmentally sustainable.

Novec™ 1230

Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid as its extinguishing agent. This fluid is a clear, clourless and low-odor liquid, ideal for safeguarding valuable equipment in occupied spaces, areas where cleanup of other agents would be difficult, locations with limited storage space, or where a non-conducive extinguishing solution is needed. Each system includes a set of components along with their related accessories:

• Agent Storage Components - These include the cylinder assembly, which holds the Novec 1230 fluid and the cylinder brackets that securely support the assembly in place.

• Agent Fluid Distribution Components - These parts include discharge nozzles that release the Novec 1230 fluid into the protected area, along with the piping system that connects the nozzles to the cylinder assembly.

• Trim Components - These items complete the system installation and include fittings, a pressure gauge, a low-pressure monitoring switch, an electric valve actuator and a manual valve actuator.

• Multi-Cylinder Arrangements Components - Used insetups with multiple cylinders, this group includes pneumatic valve actuators, actuation check valves, vent checks, actuation hoses and necessary fittings.

• Supplemental Components - These support the main system or enable specific multi-cylinder configurations, including items like the discharge pressure switch and manifold check valve.

• Control Panel - This unit manages and monitors the electric actuator, detection equipment, alarms, cylinder pressure and manual control stations (release and abort). All electronic components must be connected to this panel to operate properly.

• Detection and Alarm Devices - These components work with manual release and abort stations to enhance system reponsiveness. Audible and visual alarms are used to alert peronnel when the system is triggered.
