Fire Sprinkler Systems Save Lives

Did you know that fire kills more people in the U.S. annually than all natural disasters combined?  On average, nearly 4,000 people die in fires each year!blazemaster-illustration

Industry research confirms, however, that the installation of a fire sprinkler system, used in conjunction with a smoke detector, can reduce the loss of life by as much as 98.5 percent (more than twice as much as a smoke detector working alone).  Why are fire sprinkler systems so effective?   Because they don’t rely on human factors.  They operate automatically and immediately in the area of the fire’s origin to provide residents with additional time to exit the premises safely.

Yet, not all fire sprinkler systems are the same.  Prior to 1984, there were few choices when it came to selecting a fire sprinkler system.  Technology has changed that.  BlazeMaster® fire sprinkler systems are made from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), a revolutionary, high-temperature specialty material for use in fire sprinkler pipe and fittings.  Compared to traditional metallic systems, BlazeMaster CPVC systems offer long-term reliability.  Immune to the effects of pitting and corrosion, they not only have proven to perform when needed during their 25+ year history in the field, but also minimize the likelihood of costly damage from corroded, leaking pipes.

Lightweight, easy to install, and less expensive than most metallic systems, BlazeMaster CPVC fire sprinkler systems are quickly becoming the product of choice for safety-conscious homeowners, landlords, building owners, facility managers, specifiers and installers.
