What is Firetrace?• Suppression for the

“micro-environment”• Pneumatic heat

detection • Fire suppression

system• “Total flooding” OR

“Local application” • Detection and

suppression at the ignition point

“It’s All About the ………………TUBE”

• Linear, pneumatic flame detection• Bursts at 212°F (100°C)• Tubing can be the detector & the piping

network • Tubing is durable and flexible• Tubing is not conductive or corrosive• Good for harsh chemical environments

Max 3.3 ft / layer

• Tubing is used as a detector and delivery of agent from cylinder

• Valve is a X-over only to allow for connection of the tubing to cylinder

• 4 ports on this valve for gauge, P/S, Ball Valve and cylinder

• Discharge time is limited due to the x-sectional area of the ball valve orifice.
