SOLUTIONS DESIGNED FOR EVERY NEED

APPROVALINERGEN CLEAN-AGENT PROTECTION

Type-approved by USCG, ABS and DNV, and approved by U.S. EPA SNAP rules, INERGEN

agent is safe for crew that cannot escape protected spaces. INERGEN is an inert gas clean-

agent, not a chemical. Therefore, it does not decompose into toxic or acidic gases when

exposed to flame or hot metal surfaces. It has been independently tested on humans at

extinguishing concentrations, and is environmentally responsible.

INERGEN Systems offer:

True total flooding capability, able to suppress Class A-B-C fires regardless of size,

including obstructed fires as found in the bilge.

Will not obscure vision during egress and is safe for electrical equipment.

Same gas components as air, so it wont be subject to future regulations.

Self-contained, requiring no power source for manual operation.

Use INERGEN systems in machinery spaces, engine enclosures and storage lockers. Years of

proven performance in protecting commercial gas turbines and diesel engines.

ANSUL CARBON DIOXIDE PROTECTION

The most economical of the ANSUL marine fire suppression agents, ANSUL CO2solutions are

type-approved by USCG, ABS and DNV. Outstanding cooling abilities. Time-delay warns crew

of impending agent discharge, offering ample time to leave protected spaces. Controls installed

outside of machinery spaces allow for remote operation.

Carbon Dioxide Systems offer:

True total flooding capability, able to suppress Class A-B-C fires regardless of size, including obstructed fires as

found in the bilge.

Self-contained operation, requiring no power source for manual operation.

Years of proven protection on thousands of vessels.

Protection for machinery spaces, engine enclosures, storage lockers and more.

RED LINE DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHERS

RED LINE cartridge-operated, hand-portable extinguishers supplement your engine room protection. These dry-

chemical units are designed to protect areas where Class B flammable liquid/gas fires could occur. Welded steel,

corrosion-resistant construction stands up to rough treatment and marine environments. Cartridge-operated unitsare on-board rechargeable and easy to operate, providing the smallest crew with the biggest defense against fire.

USCG approved with marine bracket.

SENTRY CARBON DIOXIDE EXTINGUISHERS

SENTRY stored pressure extinguishers are tough, durable and reliable. Theyre easy to operate and especially

effective on fires involving energized electrical equipment (Class C). USCG approved with marine bracket

(up to 15 lb. capacity).

CHECKFIRE DETECTION SYSTEM

For 24-hour fire detection in machinery spaces, the CHECKFIRE Marine Detection and Control System is the answer.

CHECKFIRE systems provide both heat detection and fire alarm capabilities. USCG approved.

AUTOPULSE DETECTION SYSTEM

Larger installations requiring heat detection in machinery spaces and smoke detection in the accommodations and

service spaces benefit from the AUTOPULSE Marine Detection and Control System. USCG approved.

EXPERTISE THAT MOVESYOU FORWARD

Every day, the workhorses of the water face

danger from any number of flammable debris

and liquids. The right on-board fire suppression

solutions must act quickly and completely. ANSUfire suppression systems and extinguishers have

long been the answer for tow boats, providing

unsurpassed protection that meets the special

challenges of marine environments.

OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT RUNS DEEP

Prior to the introduction of reliable on-board

suppression, uncontrolled fires were common on

commercial and naval watercraft. ANSUL INERG

Clean-Agent and Carbon Dioxide systems fully

satisfy the fire suppression requirements of those

charged with protecting these vessels.
