Fire Suppression
Improve system reliability along with rigorous quality standards to ensure systems operate correctly after a long period of inactivity
With a reputation for product quality and operational reliability, ASCO™ fluid automation solutions are ideal for critical fire suppression applications. Our customers’ biggest concern is ensuring that their fire protection system will work when needed to prevent downtime or mitigate unplanned situations.
ASCO valves are tested to rigorous quality standards which includes certifications by UL, FM, and CSA. Products are also suitable for most fire suppression applications, providing peace of mind to both the OEM and the end user.
Inert gas and dry chemical fire suppression systems utilize chemicals stored in either a single large tank or a series of smaller tanks to extinguish fires where water could potentially damage critical infrastructure. Two-way solenoid valves are used as release mechanisms that allows the extinguisher to be distributed to the appropriate sprinkler head.
Commercial kitchens, schools and other large facilities utilize natural gas for use with commercial stoves and Bunsen burners in chemistry labs, among other applications. Most kitchens and labs require local gas shutoff capabilities in case of emergencies, and ASCO's solenoid valve technology are purpose-built for these applications.
