Product overview
Sapphire Compact is a self-contained direct low-pressure system for small electrical enclosures. It uses FK-5-1-12 and automatic detection tubing to provide local protection without requiring an external electrical supply for automatic detection and discharge. It addresses cabinet-level protection rather than serving as a substitute for a room-scale total-flooding design.

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.
