Agent and distribution
The HFC-227ea agent supply, cylinder location, piping and nozzles are selected from the protected volume, hazard, required concentration and calculated distribution arrangement.
Need an FM-200 system? Start with the protected room.
FM-200 is an engineered clean-agent system for enclosed hazards. We assess the room volume, equipment, fire risk, openings, ventilation and required release sequence before sizing the agent and distribution system.

What makes an FM-200 system complete?
An FM-200 system combines agent quantity, distribution, detection, release controls and the protected enclosure. Design and test them as one system.
Detection and release
The releasing panel, compatible detection, audible and visual warnings, manual release, abort function where required, shutdowns and monitoring must follow the approved operating sequence.
Protected enclosure
Room boundaries, openings, penetrations, ventilation shutdown and leakage affect whether the required agent concentration can be established and retained. Room changes must be reassessed.
From
assessment
to
handover.
FM-200 work starts with the room and hazard, not a cylinder size. We establish the design basis first, then coordinate the agent, piping, controls, enclosure and commissioning scope.
01
Site assessment
We review the protected room, equipment, fire hazard, openings, ventilation, current system and available plans.
02
Design & planning
We coordinate agent quantity, cylinder, piping, nozzles, detection, release controls, alarms and enclosure requirements.
03
Review quotation
We discuss the proposed scope, inclusions, commercial terms and questions before approval.
04
Supply & installation
Cylinders, piping, nozzles, controls, alarms and interfaces follow the approved project scope.
05
Testing & commissioning
The installed system is tested and commissioned against the approved project scope and operating sequence.
06
Service + BFP follow-up
We remain available for maintenance, project records and BFP-related follow-up within our scope.
FM-200 already installed?
Keep the room and system ready.
We inspect and maintain FM-200 systems according to the installed agent containers, piping, nozzles, detection, releasing controls, alarms, interfaces and protected enclosure within the agreed scope.
- 01
Check agent containers, pressure or weight condition, brackets, hoses, piping, nozzles, labels and visible damage.
- 02
Test the detection and releasing sequence, alarms, manual release, abort function and connected shutdowns without an unintended discharge.
- 03
Review room changes, new penetrations, doors, ventilation and other conditions that can affect enclosure integrity or protected volume.
- 04
Issue inspection records, identify recharge, repair or replacement needs, and coordinate BFP-related follow-up within our scope.

Straight answers about HFC-227ea, protected rooms, detection, enclosure integrity, testing, maintenance and project information.
FM-200 is the trade name commonly used for HFC-227ea, a gaseous clean agent used in engineered fire suppression systems. It suppresses fire without leaving powder or water residue after discharge.
It is commonly considered for enclosed rooms containing critical or residue-sensitive equipment, such as data, telecommunications, control or electrical rooms. Suitability still depends on the hazard, enclosure and approved fire-protection strategy.
No. The FDAS detects and signals a fire condition. An FM-200 system adds the agent storage, distribution and releasing functions needed for suppression. The detection, alarms and release controls are normally coordinated with the suppression sequence.
Openings and leakage can prevent the room from retaining the required agent concentration. Doors, penetrations, cable openings, ventilation and later room alterations must be considered in the design and enclosure-integrity review.
Functional testing can verify detection, releasing logic, alarms, manual controls, abort functions, shutdowns, monitoring and electrical interfaces. Cylinders, piping and nozzles are inspected, and enclosure integrity is reviewed or tested where required. Any actual discharge test must be specifically included and approved.
