Fire protection

Fittings, unions and valves are of great importance in fire protection systems, including extinguishing systems and water mist systems. They play a key role in protecting buildings and facilities from fire and minimising damage.

In extinguishing systems, especially in sprinkler systems, fittings and unions are used to connect the pipework and transport the extinguishing agent (usually water or a mixture of extinguishing agents). The fittings ensure the correct distribution of the extinguishing agent in different parts of the building and ensure a rapid response to fires. Fittings enable the water flow to be monitored and controlled. They are used to adjust the pressure and flow rate of the extinguishing agent to meet the specific needs of the source of the fire.

Fittings also play a key role in water mist systems used in many areas such as airports, industrial plants and museums. They connect the pipework and nozzles that produce fine water mist to smother or control fires. These fittings ensure an even distribution of the water mist. Fittings are used to regulate the pressure and flow rate of the water mist. They make it possible to adapt the responsiveness of the system to different fire scenarios and to precisely control the amount of water.

All in all, fittings, unions and valves are indispensable components in fire protection systems. They help to protect life and property by enabling a quick and effective response to fires and limiting the spread of fire and smoke. The correct selection and installation of these components is of the utmost importance to ensure the effectiveness of fire protection systems.
