Although a massively important and exciting product to us, we were almost getting fed up of listening to ourselves harping on about ZONE GUARDIAN, so we left it alone for a few months to be able to share some of our other news. This month, we thought we’d share just a few snippets of information, along an Olympic theme… Faster …
Domestic & Residential Booster Sets
Even though England is still running well behind Wales and Scotland as far as legislation for domestic and residential fire sprinklers is concerned, we are continuing to see growth in the number of enquiries and orders for related products. Although we are not a supplier of ‘commodity’ products such as pipework and sprinkler heads, we offer a range of stainless …
Bad Vibrations Part 2: Compressor vibration control
As reported some time ago we cannot over-stress the importance of installing compressors to a solid wall or floor with strong and suitable fixings – our Operating & Maintenance instructions labour the point, advising that all four holes should be used with strong and tight M10 bolts. It’s strange how things seem to arise in batches, but towards the end of …
Top Class Accuracy for Gauge Certification
Just one of the services we offer, which is becoming ever more popular, is pressure gauge calibration and certification of gauges to be used for fire sprinkler system testing and other areas where dependence on accuracy is important. It’s interesting to note that in 2017 we calibrated and certificated over 200 pressure gauges ranging from 4 to 40 bar – …
Season’s Greetings from SEP and our Christmas Shutdown Dates…
At the end of one of our most exciting years ever, everyone at SEP would like to send our very best wishes to all of our customers! This year for ourselves, and it seems across the industry, has just got busier and busier, and there’s a lot to look forward to in 2018. So we wish you all a very …
Unavoidable Price Rises
It is more than a little unfortunate, and almost certainly not unrelated, that ever since the fateful day of the Brexit vote we have been beset by cost increases from our suppliers. With only one or two exceptions, we have been on the wrong end of increases ranging from 7-8% up to as much as 15% – and in several …
Focus on ZONE GUARDIAN Test Module
Further to our focus last month on the ZONE GUARDIAN pump, and its advantages, we thought this month that we’d have a closer look at our flow switch test module… Similarly to the legacy product, our Test Module is a keyswitch-operated control box which activates the circulating pump to which it’s connected (or, in the case of interconnected units, several …
BAFSA AGM & Dinner 2017
This year’s British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association AGM & dinner was held in the vibrant and developing city of Liverpool, at the (sprinkler fitted, of course) Marriott Hotel in the city centre. After an hour or so for colleagues to catch up with a coffee, the formal proceedings of the AGM got under way. BAFSA Chairman, John McCann’s commentary focused …
Customer comments
We are well aware that we regularly ‘bang on’ about service, but we genuinely feel that you can have the best products in the world (we wouldn’t be so bold…) but without the advice and service to back it up – including when things occasionally go wrong – then there’s no point. Of course, most companies claim that they have great service …
The benefits of ZONE GUARDIAN
Now that our ZONE GUARDIAN flow test device has been approved by the LPCB, we are being asked quite regularly, “OK, but what are the benefits compared to…?” Here we’ve put together some advantages of the ZONE GUARDIAN’s circulating pump: The small and modern design of our pump makes it around 2.8kg lighter (than the market alternative), making handling of the …
