Kidde FM200 / HFC227ea Gas Suppression

FM200® Clean Agent

FM200® is a chemical (Heptafluoropropane) that is stored as a semi-liquid and discharged as a gas. It distributes uniformly throughout the hazard zone, and extinguishes fire primarily by heat absorption from the flame.

ENVIRONMENT

With a zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), a global warming potential (GWP) of 3200, and an atmospheric lifetime (ALT) of 31 + years.

CLEAN COST-EFFECTIVE

By using its tried and trusted range of 25 bar equipment, Kidde Fire Protection can offer a cost-effective fire extinguishing system.

CONTAINERS

A wide range of container sizes from 5 to 368 litres is available, offering a choice of fill capacities to meet specific requirements and ensure maximum economy in installation. Each container is manufactured from high strength alloy steel and both TPED and DOT are available. FM200® discharges as a colourless gas at standard conditions, exhibiting a boiling point of -16.4°C. Electrically non-conductive and non-corrosive gas.

EFFICIENT

Small and large-scale tests have proven that FM200® agent extinguishes fire quickly, before any serious damage occurs. Achieved by reaching the extinguishing concentration in less than ten seconds, being effective on a wide range of Class A, Class B and fires involving energised electrical equipment.

The Kidde FK-5-1-12 Gas Suppression System utilizes 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid (chemical name: FK-5-1-12), a clean agent designed to suppress fires effectively while minimizing damage to sensitive equipment and the environment. This system is particularly suitable for protecting high-value assets in environments such as data centers, telecommunications facilities, and switchgear rooms. ​Suppression Systems+13Kidde+13Suppression Systems+13Kidde Fenwal+1Kidde+1

Key Features of the Kidde FK-5-1-12 System:

  • Effective Fire Suppression: The system extinguishes fires by absorbing heat, thus interrupting the combustion process. It is effective on Class A (solid combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (electrical) fires. ​Kidde Fenwal

  • Environmental Safety: FK-5-1-12 fluid has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and a global warming potential (GWP) of less than one, making it an environmentally responsible choice. ​Gaseous Fire Extinguishers | MEP Fire+5Kidde+5Kidde Fenwal+5

  • Safety for Occupants: The agent is non-toxic at design concentrations, allowing it to be safely used in occupied spaces without posing health risks. ​Suppression Systems+1Kidde+1

  • Minimal Residue: Post-discharge, the agent evaporates cleanly without leaving residue, ensuring that sensitive equipment remains unharmed and operational downtime is minimized. ​controlfiresystems.com+4ttlcompany.com+4Kidde+4

  • Flexible System Design: The Kidde ECS 500 psi system offers a range of cylinder sizes, from 6 lbs. to 1,100 lbs., providing flexibility to protect areas up to 27,000 cubic feet with a single cylinder. The higher pressure allows for longer pipe runs and the use of smaller pipe diameters, facilitating remote cylinder storage and adaptable system configurations. ​Kidde Fenwal+8controlfiresystems.com+8aspirefpsb.com+8
