Effective protection in the event of fire

With the fischer fastening systems

To meet fire protection objectives, various measures are implemented in structural and plant fire protection as part of preventive fire protection.

In many buildings, a sprinkler system is used as system fire protection.
Sprinkler systems are the most effective solution for fire fighting and detection.

When installed with the fischer fastening systems, they guarantee maximum safety and protection in the event of fire.
At fischer, you will find approved, recognised and directive-compliant fastening systems for securing sprinkler pipes.

Sprinkler systems save lives & assets

 

Sprinkler systems are highly effective - they detect fires extremely quickly and initiate extinguishing measures immediately. The statistics from the BVFA clearly demonstrate how effective these extinguishing systems are: 

  • 77 percent of all extinguishing successes by sprinkler systems were achieved with fewer than 5 sprinkler heads. 
  • 87 percent of the systems were triggered fully automatically in 2021.
  • In 2017, a sprinkler system prevented a major fire at Düsseldorf Central Station.

Early extinguishing of incipient fires prevents major damage to people and the environment and minimises material damage.

For trade and industry, effective fire protection is essential! If the ability to deliver is compromised by business interruptions, this results in reduced competitiveness or even insolvencies. 

Typical process flow of a sprinkler installation

The installation and fastening of a sprinkler system is not a uniform process. The design of a sprinkler system depends on the selected technical rule, the existing use in the protected area, the type of storage and the stored goods as well as the building geometry.


Determine dimension of pipeline

e.g. riser ≤ DIN50 or main line > DIN50



Determine mounting surface

e.g. concrete, steel construction or trapezoidal sheet ceiling

Fasteners according to specified standard

 (e.g. VdS or FM), e.g. pipe loop, anchor, carrier clamp or trapezoidal sheet holder.

2. Anchoring procedure in concrete


The fischer UltraCut FBS II US concrete screw
The concrete screw head fits geometrically perfectly into the FUS rail system

Advantages:

ETA for cracked concrete in diameters 6-14 with hollow drilling suitability
VdS approved
Fire test R120
Panhead, hexagonal screw, countersunk head, with internal thread and external thread
3. Anchoring procedure on the trapeze and on steel structures

3. Anchoring procedure on the trapeze and on steel structures


The fischer carrier clamp TKL
The girder clamp is the optimal fixing solution for steel structures without welding or drilling

Advantages:

VdS/FM/UL certificates guarantee objectively tested functional safety.
The design of the TKL with fastening screw allows it to be attached to the steel girder without welding or drilling.
The TKL with through-hole allows for subsequent height adjustment at any time.
The hollow ground of the fastening screw effectively prevents slipping off the steel beam.

Required standards and approvals for the installation of sprinkler systems


Sprinkler systems are created according to different regulations. Sprinkler systems are planned in accordance with these regulations. The rules and regulations to be applied depend on the client’s decision, which may also be given on the basis of the insurer’s specifications due to a special area of application.
Mixing up the rules and regulations should be avoided as far as possible.

  • VdS standard (VdS CEA 4001)
  • American FM Standard 1951 (Factory Mutual Insurance Company, FM Global)
  • UL (Underwriters Laboratories, UL) based on NFPA 13 (National Fire Protection Association, NFPA)
  • European standard EN 12845
