Self-containedSelf-contained automatic fire detection and suppression system

Pneumatic linear heat/flame heat/flame detector detector

Put the fire out wherewhere and when it startswhen it starts, not after your expensive machinery or building is destroyed!

How the Tubing WorksHow the Tubing Works

Tubing bursts at the point closet to Flame or Heat

when it reaches 212 Degrees Fahrenheit creating a Discharge Nozzle!

Tubing

Requires No Power

Easy Installation

Cost Effective

Tolerates the

vibration, dirt,

and

temperature

extremes of

many different

environments

Heat sensitive

polymer tubing

reacts to heat

and radiant

energy of a fire

by bursting,

thus releasing

the fire

suppressant

agent

Flexible tubing!

New systems

or retrofits are

easy to install

and maintain

Rapid detection

and rapid

suppression to

quickly reduce

damage and

risks

Direct Low Pressure System

The Firetrace Tubing is both a flame/heat detector and discharge nozzle rupturing at 212 degrees Fahrenheit!

Direct Low Pressure System

The Firetrace Tubing is both a flame/heat detector and discharge nozzle rupturing at 212 degrees Fahrenheit!

Indirect Low Pressure System

Tubing ruptures creating pressure drop which releases suppressant faster through separate piping network!
