Smashing Conventional Limitations
New Design Conventions for a New Agent
By taking full advantage of the unique characteristics of 3M® Novec™ 1230

the newest evolution Fire Suppression Fluid, Firetrace’s E4 has set new expectations for system
design limitations, rather than simply conforming to conventions developed for
in Engineered Fire Halon in the 1980s. Approval testing has demonstrated incredible performance
Suppression enhancements as compared to traditional systems. These enhancements result
in less complex pipe networks, dramatically increased design flexibility, and
E4 Engineered Clean Agent systems are the newest lower labor, piping and installation costs. Welcome to the 4th evolution of clean
Transportation

evolution in total flooding fire suppression solutions agent fire suppression systems – E4!
from Firetrace, a longstanding innovation leader in
the fire suppression industry. The E4 systems are E4 systems offer far lower design limitations, resulting in greater design flexibility
shattering traditional design limitations using 500psi and lower overall hardware and installation cost.

E4 system cylinders are available in eight capacities with fill volumes ranging from
8 to 1300 lbs. (4 to 590 kg). Each of these cylinders can be under-filled in one
pound/one-half kilogram increments to meet the exact amount of Novec™ 1230
required. E4 systems can be activated either manually or automatically using
mechanical, pneumatic or electrical activation. E4 nozzles are available in center
and side discharge patterns for pipe sizes ranging from ½ inch to 2½ inch.
