SMARTCOTE® Firepipe Coating (painted in Venetian Red)
SMARTCOTE® painted sprinkler pipe is a leading Australian made product designed for pressure reticulation in commercial and industrial fire protection applications.
It is designed for use in “closed systems” such as fire sprinkler assemblies, is easy to weld and can be readily painted over if necessary.
It is approved by the ActivFire® Scheme for use in fire protection systems and is covered by afp 1510, 1511, 1641 and 2481 certificates of conformity.
Typical Applications:
- Fire sprinkler system applications for all “closed” oxygenated systems
- Hydraulic installations and compressed air services
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems with “closed” pipe work systems
Recommended Use:
- Extra light and light wall SMARTCOTE® is suitable for use with all reputable roll grooved coupling systems
- Medium wall SMARTCOTE® can be used with threaded or roll grooved jointing systems
ALLGAL® Firepipe Coating inline zinc coating
ORRFIRE® ALLGAL® is an Australian made sprinkler pipe product that is manufactured using an inline zinc-coated steel feed strip.
ALLGAL® is easy to weld and can be either ‘touched up’ in weld areas with zinc paint and installed as supplied or painted if necessary.
It is approved by the ActivFire® Scheme for use in fire protection systems and is covered by afp 1508, 1509, 1528 and 1640 certificates of conformity.
Typical Applications:
- Fire sprinkler applications for all “closed” non-oxygenated systems
- Hydraulic installations and compressed air services
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning with “closed” pipe work systems
Recommended Use:
- Extra light and light wall ALLGAL® pipe is suitable for use with all reputable roll grooved coupling systems
- Medium wall ALLGAL® pipe can be used with threaded or roll grooved jointing systems
Hot Dipped Galvanised Firepipe Coating
ORRFIRE® Hot Dipped Galvanised Pipe is an Australian made product specifically manufactured for the Fire and Industrial Plumbing Industries.
It undergoes a hot dipped zinc galvanising process on both the internal and external surfaces and is designed for use in “open reticulation systems” where oxygenated water is transported.
It is approved by the ActivFire® Scheme for use in fire protection and hydrant systems and is covered by afp 1529 and 1530 certificates of conformity.
Typical Applications:
- Fire system applications for all “open” oxygenated systems
- Industrial plumbing and mechanical services
- Hydraulic installations and compressed air services
- Mining air / water services
- Building services and heating, Ventilation and Air
- Conditioning (H.V.A.C)
- Process plant pipelines
Recommended Use:
- Substitution of light wall spiral welded, plastic ductile iron and copper pipes in reticulation applications.
