Underground fire protection systems made of PE 100(-RC) are maintenance-free, leak-proof and resistant against:
• Seismic activities (soil settlements)
• Pressure surges (water hammers)
• Resistant against abrasion
• Point loads
• Rapid crack propagation
• Root penetration
Further advantages are:
• Corrosion free (particle free)
• Easy to install (flexible system)
• No incrustations (no pressure loss – low energy costs)
• Reliable performance
By using FM approved products, a high reliability and operational safety can be expected.

Firefighting lines
The water supply of а fire protection system is often considered as the most critical component of the system. Moving the water from it’s source to the entrance of the building, is the function of underground fire protection piping. This piping system must bе extremely reliable to withstand internal and external stresses over long periods of time. РЕ 100-RC pipes and fittings can bе welded together homogeneously by heated tool butt welding or electro-socket welding. The welded joints are as strong as the pipe itself, providing а continuous leak-tight system. On the other hand, РЕ 100-RC pipes do not corrode or incrustate. This is а key point as in case of а fire emergency valves will be opened immediately and if pipes are corroded or incrusted – particles may be flushed and clog the sprinklers inside the building.
Since FM approved products are tested for high quality and safety, the cost of property insurance can be reduced significantly.
