The Fike Difference


There are several manufacturers of FK-5-1-12 fire suppression systems. However, Fike's FK-5-1-12 fire suppression system offers the following distinct advantages:


Best-in-class flow - only Fike's FK-5-1-12 fire suppression solution features proprietary pulse valve technology. The Pulse Valve utilizes Fike's Reaction Axius™ Rupture Disc for complete, unrestricted flow of agent upon discharge. This results in minimal friction losses, allowing for longer pipe runs, smaller diameter pipes and greater design flexibility.

Cost-effectiveness - why spend less? Fike is one of the lowest priced sources for FK-5-1-12 fire suppressant, and with Fike you're not just buying chemicals. You can also purchase state-of-the-art Fike hardware and Fike's renowned dedicated customer service at industry-leading prices.

Fast acting - Once released, the agent fills the protected area within 10 seconds, extinguishing the fire before damage occurs. Because it operates at 40% higher pressure than the standard 360 psi system, the Fike system naturally has a longer flow capacity. This provides greater design flexibility, including the option to position the system away from protected spaces.

Custom Solutions - Fike is a problem solver at its core. Sometimes problems can be solved with multiple solutions, such as through the use of water mist, inert gases and/or chemical agents. The addition of the FK-5-1-12 gives Fike the flexibility to further develop custom options for almost any application.

Data Centers - The FK-5-1-12 is safe to electronics and requires no cleanup, making it an ideal reagent for protecting data centers and other environments containing sensitive electronics.

Control Room - Because it is non-conductive and leaves little residue, the FK-5-1-12 is the agent of choice for control rooms protecting management systems in manufacturing, processing or power generation facilities.

A Valuable Asset - In settings such as museums and historical archives, water is as destructive as the fire it puts out. Fike's FK 5-1-12 system can put out fires in the earliest stages without damaging even the most sensitive materials themselves.

Other Applications - Fike has helped hundreds of organizations design and equip custom fire suppression solutions, from machine shops to medical facilities and everything in between.
