Unique Best Value Water-mist Solution

The system is available in a unique mixer tap version for higher risk kitchen fire protection and an inconspicuous wall mounting version to protect stairwells or escape routes. And provides design freedom and flexibility for open plan spaces, in new builds, refurbishments or loft conversions.

This unique automatic water-mist device has been extensively tested and proven to be effective by BRE Global in Watford, where a single unit was shown to suppress fires in an 80m3 volume, which would have otherwise flashed-over.

The Kitchen mixer tap version comprises of a patent pending water-mist nozzle assembly for monobloc mixer taps, a pressurisation pump under the sink and standard Heat Alarm to detect the fire and facilitates contemporary open plan Kitchen/Diner designs. The new wall mounted version see image inset should be considered by Building Control Officers as alternative suppression method for overcoming fire precautions in lieu of only passive fire protection e.g. in a stairwell to protect an open plan space where compartmentation should be in place but is undesirable or not possible to achieve.
