GEM 1230
Our robust GEM 1230 Engineered Fire Suppression systems are Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) listed, FM Approved and SIRIM Tested. Designed for total flooding, our systems are built in full compliance with the NFPA 2001 “Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems” and UL 2166 Standard for Halocarbon Clean Agent Extinguishing System Units. Overall, the application and installation of GEM1230 must meet the requirements or standards set by the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction.
GEM 1230
Known as a Halocarbon Clean Fire Extinguishing Agent, FK-5-1-12 which is a combination of carbon, fluorine, and hydrogen (CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2). FK-5-1-12 is a colourless, liquified compressed gas stored in welded cylinders, which is super-pressurised with dry nitrogen to 25 bar at 21°C (360 psi at 70°F). GEM 1230 systems are ideal for total flooding applications to suppress Class A, B and C fire hazards, and this is achieved by 80% heat absorption and 20% direct chemical means. FurthermoreFK-5-1-12 is environmentally friendly as it has zero ozone depletion potential.
CYLINDER ASSEMBLY
GEM 1230’s cylinder assembly consists of a cylinder factory fitted with a valve and syphon tube. Available in various sizes, the cylinder is filled with FK-5-1-12 and super-pressurised with dry nitrogen to 25 bar @ 21°C (360 psi @ 70°F). All cylinders are manufactured, tested, and labelled in accordance with DOT 4BW500.
