One of the issues we often come across, since our foray into the Priority Demand Valve (PDV) market several years ago, is that they are often NOT installed by fire sprinkler engineers but installers from outside of the fire industry. This is simply because the purpose of a PDV is to stop the flow of water to the domestic system in …
We are very happy to share that we recently made a donation to Community Led Initiatives (CLI) in Milton Keynes to support their recent Community Lunch event. CLI is a Community Interest Company dedicated to supporting & empowering people who are facing issues including with the criminal justice system, homelessness, addiction, and mental health difficulties. In Milton Keynes specifically, the …
“A firefighter in every room” – this is a strapline of BAFSA (the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association), our industry body. As Phil Garrigan (Chair of the National Fire Chiefs Council, NFCC) writes in this year’s recently published ‘Sprinkler Saves Review’, “Put simply – sprinklers save lives and reduce injuries. They have been used for over a century and are …
Our electric van-mounted Dry Riser Test Pump has been available for a few years now, and is growing in popularity amongst our forward-thinking customers who wish to save effort on a job, as well as reduce emissions and noise. Some of our customers now have over half a dozen of our models, so we know we are doing something right! …
One of the items we cover at our training sessions, and one which a lot of service engineers find most interesting and illuminating, is electrical troubleshooting. This could be because what we cover is a bit of a ‘myth-buster’…electrics isn’t always as complex as you might think – it’s just mostly logic. As long as you can work safely, your …
SEP’s ‘in-house’ training sessions went somewhat ‘out-of-house’ recently, with a meticulously-planned trip to Writech in Ireland. Many of our customers have now engaged with us on this service (and a big thank you from us), arranging for groups to attend our free sessions in Stockport – we calculate that around 200 people have now received the benefit of (or been …
You know we like to stay a step ahead of the game here at SEP, especially when it comes to fire sprinkler product standards. A new Loss Prevention Standard (LPS 1667) was introduced in January 2025, relating to non-commercial sprinkler pump sets. The ‘Requirements for pump sets used in domestic and residential: automatic sprinkler and low-pressure water mist installations’ guidance …
We’re delighted to shout from the rooftops that our training/demo room has been getting lots of use recently – just over the past couple of months we’ve had teams from Alpine, Tyco/JCI, ASAP and Bailey Fire. In fact, as we write, there is only ONE slot remaining until May! Don’t forget, we can tell you everything you wanted to know …
One of the things which is coming out of our (free!) training sessions is that it’s not always possible to install our Zone Guardian strictly in accordance with the instructions… which, funnily enough, might mean that there are problems down the line… we cover all of this in our sessions, and will be producing some videos shortly, but here are …
At SEP, we know that ‘Pump Initiation Boards’ is a relatively hotly-contested market, which is why we try to stand out and be the best at what we do – which is designing, making and testing thoroughly all products which leave our workshop, whilst at the same time providing the best service to our loyal customer base. We think this …
