Effective protection in the event of fire

With the fischer fastening systems

In order to meet the protection objectives in fire protection, various measures are implemented in structural and plant fire protection as part of preventive fire protection.

In many types of 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 the fastening of sprinkler pipes.

Sprinkler systems save lives & assets

Sprinkler systems are highly effective - they detect the fire extremely quickly and start extinguishing measures immediately. The statistics of the BVFA clearly show how effective these extinguishing systems are:

77 percent of all extinguishing successes by sprinkler systems were extinguished by less 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 keeps material damage to a minimum.

For trade and industry, effective fire protection is vital! If the ability to deliver is jeopardised by business interruptions, this leads to limited 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.

Concrete screw FBS II

Fastening for pipes in concrete

1. Drilling & cleaning process (substrate preparation)

The fischer FHD hollow drill bit

This gives us 55% time savings in our drilling operations

Advantages:

55% time saving compared to traditional hole positioning

Health-friendly work due to immediate extraction of drill dust

Subsidy by BG Bau up to 50% of the acquisition costs, max. €200

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

The fischer carrier clamp TKL

The girder clamp is the optimal fixing solution to 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.

4. Installation of sprinkler pipe

The Fischer FRSL sprinkler clamp

The adjusting nut as a connection nut enables easy, subsequent height adjustment

Advantages:

Sprinkler loop with splittable band

Integrated height adjustment

VdS approved product

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 Mutal Insurance Company, FM Global)
UL (Underwriters Laboratroies, UL) based on NFPA 13 (National Fire Protection Association, NFPA)
European standard EN 12845
