Frequently Asked Questions

Is a clean agent system necessary, if I already have sprinklers installed in my space?

Water sprinklers offer effective protection to the buildings structure.  They are meant to keep a fire contained, until the fire department can respond. Unfortunately, water can ruin your electronics. The down time from smoke, fire and water damage could be unrecoverable. A clean agent system offers fire protection for your critical assets contained within the space. They are design to suppress fires in their earliest stages.

Are clean agents safe for occupied areas?

Yes, clean agents work by removing the heat energy from a fire on its molecular level not by depleting oxygen. This has been validated by extensive human inhalation and mammalian toxicology studies. People who happen to be inside a room during a discharge can continue to breath normally.

How long will my room be down during installation?

If the space is existing, there is little to no interruption to you. Our technicians are  capable of installing the system while a room is operational.  Depending of the size space, an install could be installed in one day.

How do I go about ordering a system?

Systems can be ordered through a construction drawing package provided by an Architectural/Engineering firm or a site survey conducted by our  fire protection design staff. A site survey for room readiness and material placement is conducted to commence the flow/engineering calculations. C.A.D. drawings are submitted for approval within a week. Following approval, material is placed on order and usual arrives in 1 to 2 weeks. During that time, municipal installation permits and AHJ approvals are attained and installation is scheduled.

What is the expected cost of ownership?

Following acceptance testing and turnover to owner, a semi annual inspection price and agreement will be provided. N.F.P.A. code requires a trained and qualified person to inspect the systems at least semi annual. In terms of warranty, the system is required to be inspected by a factory trained technician and service group.
