Victaulic, the manufacturer of mechanical pipe-joining and fire protection systems, introduced improvements to the FireLock Series 745 Fire-Pac, delivering innovative new options while maintaining the same small Fire-Pac space requirements. The Victaulic Fire-Pac is a pre-assembled fire protection valve and trim that is pre-wired to a fire alarm control panel or junction box and enclosed inside a metal cabinet. The improvements give customers more options and benefits for installation, maintenance and design.
The new FireLock Fire-Pac design relocates the electrical connection box from atop the cabinet to a location inside the cabinet, creating a lower profile and allowing the 6’5” cabinet to fit through standard doorways for ease of delivery and installation. The new Fire-Pac can be used in a wider range of operating environments thanks to new insulation and heating components for ambient temperatures as low as -6°C. The FireLock Series 745 is also weatherproofed to an equivalent of NEMA 4 standards to keep out moisture and dirt.
Common installations for the Fire-Pac include airports, data centres, high-security, industrial and mining facilities, parking garages and high-rise buildings. A stainless steel cabinet is also available for corrosive applications.
