Chemical gas extinguishing system

Red G Distributors manufactures its FK-5-1-12 chemical gas extinguishing system locally. This clean-agent fire suppression system protects high-value assets from fire and the effects of firefighting, allowing normal operations to resume quickly with no collateral damage or cleanup costs.

Chemical gas extinguishing systems are fast and effective, with low space and weight characteristics, and are environmentally acceptable and safe for human exposure. The FK-5-1-12 is the only locally made gas suppression system that carries a full system international approval from VdS.

Organisations using the FK-5-1-12 will find it protects property against water damage from automatic sprinklers. This fire suppression gas is extremely environmentally friendly because its atmospheric lifetime is only 5 days. Not only do users reap the benefits of an environmentally friendly fire suppression agent, but they also have peace of mind knowing they are equipping their facility with a green firefighting agent.

The FK-5-1-12 fire suppression agent is non-conductive, residue-free, and non-corrosive. In the event of a fire emergency, it is a fast-acting fire suppression agent that protects life and property without harming the ozone layer, with an ozone depletion potential of zero. The FK-5-1-12 fire suppression agent is a clean agent that can discharge and extinguish a fire within 10 seconds. This clean agent takes up very little space in comparison to CO₂ systems.

RED G has been a proudly South African supplier of fire suppression systems for over 23 years – founded in 2003. It manufactures the FK5-1-12 and CO₂ gas suppression systems locally to cater for African realities. Red G has also been distributing the Tyco brand since inception. It supplies ANSUL gas suppression and foam systems, as well as Tyco sprinkler systems.
