Types of Fire Suppression Systems
Clean Agent Suppression System
Clean Agent systems utilize gases that are safe for humans and the environment. These systems are ideal for all occupied spaces that hold valuables.
NOVEC™ 1230
Sustainable HFC alternative fire suppression fluid that works quickly, cleanly, and efficiently to help stop a fire before it starts. An environmentally acceptable, people compatible, clean agent for vital facilities with a wide range of applications.
FM-200®
Developed as a Halon replacement, FM-200® for clean agent fire protection where water is not an option. Suppresses fires quickly, reduces damage, and saves on floor space. Leaves no residue and doesn’t require costly cleanup.
INERGEN®
Inert gas suppression system that rapidly extinguishes fire while providing a safe environment for people by decreasing cardiac distress and maintaining mental performance in low oxygen levels. Zero Ozone Depletion Potential and Zero Global Warming Potential.
FIRETRACE®
FireTrace Systems provide cost-effective, stand-alone, automatic fire suppression for your critical production equipment, electrical enclosures, and various micro-equipment enclosures.
Foam Systems
Foam systems rapidly secure flammable liquid fires. When protection is needed in flammable aircraft storage and process areas, foam systems offer many advantages over conventional water-based systems.
CO2 Suppression System
The original “clean” agent, carbon dioxide suppresses fire without leaving behind any agent residue to damage sensitive equipment. Because there is no agent to clean up, you’re back in business faster. High pressure and low-pressure CO2 systems can be customized to protect anything from large rooms to a specific piece of equipment with systems that range in size from 50 pounds to 60 tons. To provide the most economical system arrangement without sacrificing performance, we offer both high and low-pressure systems, from Kidde Fire Systems and Ansul.
STAT-X Aerosol Suppression System
Aerosol fire suppressant is a potassium-based aerosol that suppresses fire by chemically interfering with the free radicals of flame. These systems are great for protecting small enclosures.
Industrial Systems
Impact Fire offers a full line of special hazard fire protection products, including fire suppression/detection systems, extinguishing agents, and portable fire extinguishers

Inspection Process
Semi-annual Inspection process for Kitchen Hood System
- Check the hazard area to determine if any changes have been made
- Check to determine if the tamper indicators are in place the systems have not been tampered with
- Inspection of the entire system for mechanical damage
- Disconnection of the control head or pneumatic tubing from the agent cylinders
- Removal of the cartridge from the control head and exercising the control head to ensure that it is functioning properly
- Check that the remote pull station is operating properly
- Visual inspection to determine that there is no damage to the detector or build-up of foreign debris
- Reinstallation of the cartridge and replacement of the control head cover and tamper indicator
- Inspection of the cylinder pressure. Light gauge tap to ensure that the needle is moving freely and has the correct operating pressure
- Determine if the nozzle blow-off caps are intact and undamaged and replace if necessary
- Detailed inspection report identifying that the system is in compliance and operational
- Affixing of a weather protected tag with a wire to the system identifying all required items per NFPA 17 and state and local codes
ANNUAL INSPECTION PROCESS FOR KITCHEN HOOD SYSTEM
- Inspect as per the six-month maintenance instructions above
- An operational/functional test of the detection system in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
- Disconnection of the discharge piping from the agent cylinder
- Use of compressed air or dry nitrogen to blow out the discharge piping and replace all nozzle caps
- Removal of the cylinder to verify the fill weight
- Documentation of findings
INSPECTION PROCESS FOR CLEAN AGENT AND CO2
- Check of all initiating devices and verification of time delays for system discharge
- Ensure releasing device activates properly
- Verification of abort device and manual release functionality
- Check of weight and/or pressure of agent containers
