Pressure gauges are a critical component of any fire sprinkler system, and help understand the status of each part of the system, whether it’s wet or dry. Every fire sprinkler system is different; in design, span, number and type of sprinkler heads, flow rate, water pressure etc. Pressure gauges in key areas (or for testing/checking) may be calibrated to meet …
Product Focus: Pressure Switches
As part of our extensive ‘spares and accessories’ range of items which we supply for fire sprinkler systems, we offer numerous types of valves, flow meters, flow switches, orifice fittings, pressure gauges (even with your own logo for volume orders)… and pressure switches. We thought a bit of a ‘product focus’ might be useful… The bulk of our sales are Bailey …
SEP Going Global
Since our foundation over 30 years ago, SEP has been almost completely UK-centric, with our only significant export market being Ireland. Things are changing! Mainly, our ability to export in volume has been restricted due to our base product range (air compressors for dry/alternate systems, pump initiation boards) being targeted towards UK-type systems and also not being easy to ship …
New Product: Fire Pump Controllers
At SEP we are continuously looking for high quality products which complement our existing specialist and growing range of products, and from April 2022 we are proud to be appointed distributors for the high-functioning electric and diesel Fire Pump Controllers from Lovato. Lovato’s FFL…EP (electric pump) and FFL..DP (diesel pump) controllers integrate all necessary features required by EN12845 standard. They …
Product Focus: Pump Initiation Board
As some of our customers will know, over 30 years ago, the ‘bench’ manufacture of pump initiation boards was one of the founding products for SEP, and they have remained a key product group for us ever since (although over time, other products such as air compressors and Zone Guardian have become larger lines for us). Although several competitors have …
Priority Demand Valves on the UP
Since we launched our range of Priority Demand Valves (PDV) almost exactly a year ago, interest has grown month-on-month – records were broken in September, December and January…and probably March too (even though we’re only half-way through)! The purpose of the PDV is to shut off the domestic water supply in the event of a fire sprinkler activation. They are …
Community Sponsorship
As is the case for most companies, we are often asked for money and, where possible and appropriate, we like to share our good fortune – our bigger customers will know this, as we make charitable donations on their behalf each Christmas. However, when we recently received an email with a letter attached, a personal request from a local 13-year …
ZONE GUARDIAN update
At SEP, we regularly try to keep customers informed of our product range, and any latest developments, using various means (we have a monthly email newsletter, a Twitter account and a LinkedIn account). Therefore, we often have to ‘raise our eyebrows’ when customers – even regular customers – ask if we sell such-and-such a thing. One example is our ZONE …
SEP Animation
We are excited to announce that we have just released our first explanatory animation, covering the basics of our ZONE GUARDIAN. Using state-of-the-art graphic design and professional production and voiceover artists, this has taken a little work but we’re pleased with the result as a ‘starter-for-ten’. Over the coming months, we intend to produce and release a range of animations …
Finally, our new 3ph compressor!
We are excited to report that, after more than a year in the planning, making and testing, our new 3-phase/400v compressor pump is available. It’s well over two years since we were informed by our pump supplier that the ‘sturdy old’ 2.2kw/3hp SEP850T pumps were being discontinued. Unfortunately, it then took them over a year to advise us of their …
