Fire Protection: Specifiers

Mission-Critical NitrogenTM Fire Protection Solutions

Protect Your Building and Your Reputation with South-Tek Systems’ Industry-Leading Corrosion-Inhibiting Solutions

Protection When it Matters Most

There is no better protection for people and structures from the threat of fire than fire sprinklers, and there is no bigger threat to sprinkler systems than corrosion.

Problem: Corrosion causes leaks that negatively impact sprinkler system operation.

This results in:
1.) System damage,
2.) Costly repairs, and
3.) Business downtime.

Solution: Protect your sprinkler system with nitrogen.

Every nitrogen solution is expertly engineered to fit your application, going beyond “what works” to help you achieve what’s right when it matters most.

Protecting your system with nitrogen:
1.) Inhibits corrosion,
2.) Adds decades to the life of your sprinkler system, and
3.) Ensures your sprinkler system works as designed in the event of a fire.

Online CEU Webinars

Designing a fire protection system (FPS) for a facility is a challenging design and engineering exercise, one which requires vast knowledge and understanding of different fire suppression systems and their integration with the building fire alarm and building management systems (BMS). Our courses explore what happens to sprinkler piping due to corrosion and reveal innovative design solutions that can minimize corrosion within the system while extending its lifespan. As the specifying architect or engineer, you can determine the life expectancies of these systems through superior design. Course: Solving the FPS Corrosion Triangle Through Proactive Design About: This AIA/CES/ASPE registered course will provide design insights on how to specify Nitrogen and offer examples on how to effectively integrate it into FPS.

Learning Objectives

Learn the fundamentals of corrosion within a fire sprinkler system.
Explore the corrosion challenges a system may face and evaluate the design options available to mitigate deterioration within.

Discuss the options available for applying nitrogen into FPS design and gain insight into specification considerations.
Examine alternative uses for nitrogen system integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information do I need to provide to receive an accurate quote?

There are several pieces of information that our experts use to accurately quote out your project:

Project Name
System Type: Do you have a Dry or Preaction system?
Total Gallon System Capacity: This is needed to provide the appropriately-sized generator.
Sprinkler System Zones: Knowing how many zones tells us how many auto purges will be needed.
Zone Gallon Capacity: Knowing the gallon capacity of the largest zone allows us to properly size an air compressor.
On-Site Electrical: Compressors are priced differently depending on voltage and phase available on site.
