BAFSA Fire Sprinkler 2018
We are proud to, once again, be supporting BAFSA’s annual conference and biennial exhibition at the Marriott Forest of Arden near Birmingham on 13th-14th November. In Cardiff in 2016 we exhibited our just-launched (but at the time yet to be approved) ZONE GUARDIAN, so why don’t you come and see what we have on offer this time around? The conference is a …
Recent Fire Sprinkler Saves
In a never-ending mission to raise awareness about fire sprinklers, and the benefits to both life and property, we thought it would be interesting to periodically pull together a summary of some recent fire sprinkler saves, and feature a contrasting article where fire sprinklers were not installed. Fire Sprinkler Saves Salisbury seems to be in the news for all the wrong …
Residential ZONE GUARDIAN
Following the highly successful launch of our ZONE GUARDIAN remote flow switch testing device in late 2016, and its LPCB approval in summer 2017, we have received a steady stream of customer requests, both directly and through our nominated distributor Zeffire Ltd, for smaller pipe sizes for residential applications. Ever striving to meet our customers’ demands, we have now developed …
Compressor time is here again
Well, with the bizarre 2018 summer now well and truly over with the arrival of several official storms (Ali and Bronagh so far, on top of some tropical tails), many fire sprinkler maintainers’ thoughts are turning to switching over alternate systems from wet to dry for the winter. In fact some forecasters are warning of sub-zero temperatures in parts of …
Customer Service – or not!
Our MD Rob recently contacted several potential new suppliers, by email, requesting an estimated cost for a piece of equipment to be retrofitted to an installed compressor. Easy, you might think… OK, the three selected companies were chosen at random via Google, and our enquiry was not going to bust their budgets, but it’s not that complicated and all boasted …
Air Dryers for Compressors
When warm air from a compressor enters a chilled environment, water vapour condenses and accumulates within the pipes; in a very low temperature environment this eventually ices the entire cross-section of the pipe. These ice plugs will prevent a sprinkler system from operating by impeding or completely blocking the flow of water to the sprinkler heads. Drying the compressed air …
BAFSA Challenge Day 2018
With the inaugural event in 2015, 28th June 2018 marked just the 4th annual BAFSA Challenge Day, and just the second attended by our MD Rob Bell (who missed the wet-and-wild 2017 Challenge, his life being rather taken over by the final throes of LPCB approval for the new ZONE GUARDIAN, so time definitely well-spent!). In the midst of this year’s crazy …
Scaling New Heights
We are a relatively small but rapidly growing manufacturer and supplier of specialist fire sprinkler system components to most installers/maintainers in the UK. One of our most exciting projects, supplied to one of our largest customers (themselves one of the biggest names in the fire sprinkler industry), took many months to come to fruition but is (so far) the largest …
ZONE GUARDIAN Test Module continuous improvement
Part of our ethos at SEP has always been, and will continue to be, to listen to customer feedback and improve our products. One such recent and very important example is that of the Test Module for our flagship ZONE GUARDIAN flow switch test device… As nothing stands still, we needed a design change to make the ZG test modules …
