DAWCUL PARTNER PROFILE PETROCHEMICAL EXPERTISE & SUPPLY SINCE 1977 KIDDE GX20 FM-200® FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM Fast and effective against a wide range of Class A, Class B and electrical fires Safe for occupied areas Non-corrosive and electrically non-conductive No post-discharge residue, no clean-up required Environmentally acceptable Fully engineered systems Range of system release options Computer design maximizes effectiveness of system FM Global, UL and LPCB approved Kidde GX20 FM-200® has been adopted by the majority of the world`s fire protection companies and is the most widely used clean agent fire suppressant, with tens of thousands of systems installed across the globe. FM-200 is a colourless, odourless gas. It is stored as a liquid and super-pressurised to 25 bar with nitrogen. FM- 200 offers excellent space/weight advantages allowing maximum usage of the area for its intended function. Highly penetrative, it acts on fires largely by physical means, lowering the temperature of the flame to the point at which combustion reactions cannot be sustained. Flexibility, quality and reliability make the Kidde GX20 range the world`s finest in fire safety and the equipment carries third party listing through FM Global and the Loss Prevention Certification Board UL2166 compliance and Lloyds Registry of Shipping. A wide range of cylinder sizes from 5 to 368 litres is available, offering a choice of fill capabilities to meet specific requirements and ensure maximum economy in installation. Each cylinder is manufactured from high strength alloy steel and both TPED and DOT approved cylinders are available. Valves are manufactured from tough, corrosion-resistant brass under stringent quality control standards. A pressure monitoring gauge and optional supervisory pressure switches are provided for easy servicing. Valves can be actuated by electric solenoid, pneumatic pressure, or local manual release at the control head. Custom-designed nozzles are available with normal pipe sizes from ½” to 2”, including 180° and 360° configuration. An empirically-verified computer program is used to model two-phase agent flow and ensure that the correct concentration of agent is achieved within 10 seconds throughout the protected zones. Founded in 1917 Kidde Fire Protection is celebrating a century of protecting people, property and processes from the effects of fire. Kidde Fire Protection is part of UTC Climate Controls and Security, a division of United Technologies Corporation, one of the world’s largest groups of fire protection companies. Kidde Fire Protection has accreditation to BS EN ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System and all components are rigorously inspected to ensure consistent reliability and fire performance

KIDDE RANGE OF INERT GASES ARGONITE (IG55) • NITROGEN (IG100 • ARGON (IG01) • IG541The extinguishing method of Inert Gas Suppression Systems is to reduce the normal atmospheric oxygen level of20.9%downtoalevelwherecombustioncannolongerbesustainedwhichformostcommonfiresisbelow15%.

The Kidde Inert Gas range does not emit any toxic decomposition products, does not contain any ozone depleting substances.

The Inert Gas range is approved as a `Total Flood` system. This requires the enclosure to be adequately sealed toachieveandhold,atdesignconcentration,thefiresuppressionagentforatleast10minutesafterthefirstfirehas been suppressed/extinguished. This is to ensure no re-ignitionbeforefirefightersareinattendance.
