Fire Detection Tubing System
Intelligent, Self-Contained, and Cost-Effective Fire Suppression
The Fire Detection Tubing System is a self-contained, automatic fire suppression system designed for high-risk, enclosed environments where traditional fire suppression systems are impractical. Unlike conventional systems, fire detection tube requires no electrical power, external smoke detectors, or complex piping networks. Instead, fire detection tube uses a high-pressure fire detection tube, which automatically detects temperature increases and ruptures upon direct heat exposure (248°F – 356°F / 120°C – 180°C), instantly releasing the extinguishing agent and suppressing the fire.
According to FM Global reports, localized suppression systems like Fire Detection Tubing Systems reduce fire damage by up to 70% compared to traditional fire suppression systems in enclosed environments.
Certified to NFPA 17, NFPA 2001, UL 2166, FM Global, and OSHA 1910.157, this automatically detected system supports multiple fire extinguishing agents, including CO₂, FM-200, Novec 1230, and dry chemical powder, ensuring safe and effective protection for critical assets in industrial, transportation, and data center applications.
