Since the first recognised system, invented in 1812, many different types of fire sprinkler systems have been created to face disparate situations and environmental conditions. There are seven, which we list below: Wet pipe systems Wet pipe systems are definitely the most commonly used fire sprinkler systems. Why? Because it is very reliable and, at the same time, simple. Basically …
Following the recent launch of our compact and inexpensive stainless steel residential riser range (residential or domestic valve set), we were contacted by one of our customers, Hall & Kay, to ask if we could help formulate a solution to a minor works problem they had inherited. A small block of flats in Lancaster, which had a sprinkler system in the stairway, …
Our Operating & Maintenance instructions state that, amongst other things, our wall-mounted units must be securely bolted to the wall prior to initiation. Here’s why… We were recently contacted by one of our customers to advise us that a compressor we had sent (to replace one which had failed) was suffering from electrical problems. We are proud of our quality and workmanship …
The fire sprinkler systems we know today date back around 200 years to what is often recognised as the world’s first recognised system installed in 1812 at the Theatre Royal in London’s Drury Lane. The theatre’s architect, William Congreve, also patented his invention which comprised a cylindrical airtight water reservoir holding approximately 95,000 litre of water. A 250mm water main …
Dry pipe systems require ultra dry, ultra clean compressed air and our air compressors with desiccant dryers are designed specifically for these applications. A dry pipe sprinkler system provides protection in cold areas of a building where very low or freezing temperatures can be expected. This would include places such as walk-in commercial freezers, unheated warehouse spaces, loading docks open to the outside …
Following many customer requests, and after some time in product development, we are proposing the introduction of a compact design residential riser assembly. The various options are illustrated in the images and data table below. The unit is specifically designed to be both smaller and cheaper than many risers currently available; and in addition, rather than having to work around …
On 17th March we attended a BAFSA seminar at the very picturesque Moat House in Acton Trussell, Staffordshire, focused on protecting the elderly and vulnerable from fires in residential care premises and sheltered housing. A number of presentations were given and, as usual, many thought-provoking issues were raised. Fire sprinklers within residential and domestic environments are a growing trend and …
Duplex air compressor systems are one of the most popular units that we offer. They have a dual compressor layout which reacts differently according to the situation, allowing it to operate either one compressor at a time, alternate between the two or operate both simultaneously. Therefore, if your sprinkler system requires resilience or backup in case of failure and/or additional capacity in the absence of …
At Sale Engineering we have noticed a recent increase in the number of requests for air compressors which are asked to perform at what are fairly low pressures and/or tight differentials. In fact, during the last quarter we have supplied over three times as many low pressure models than the previous quarter! As many of you will know, our standard …
As most of you will be aware, Sale Engineering Products already has ISO9001:2008 accreditation – something which we are proud is tested and renewed annually by TUV UK Ltd*. In conjunction with TUV, we aim to transition to the 2015 version of ISO9001 accreditation as soon as possible.
