Product overview
This 25 bar Sapphire system uses FK-5-1-12 for fire suppression around valuable equipment. Its non-conductive agent acts primarily by absorbing heat and avoids the residue associated with some other extinguishing media. It is intended for environments where electronic equipment, asset protection and post-discharge cleanup are important selection considerations.

Selection and project integration
Share the protected-space drawings, hazard description, equipment schedule and project specification with UDCT. The technical review should establish the selected system configuration, required quantity, installation constraints and interfaces with the detection and control equipment. For gaseous suppression, enclosure integrity, pressure relief, discharge acoustics and personnel safeguards must be assessed as part of the engineered design.
The published model designation is a product reference, not a final bill of materials. Agent quantities, pipe sizing, nozzle selection, storage arrangements and release logic depend on the approved design. Use the current manufacturer instructions for installation, testing and maintenance, and confirm availability with UDCT before procurement.
