R-102™ Fire Suppression Systems Print E-mail

Ansul R-102 SystemVanguard offers two design options with the ANSUL® R-102™ Liquid Agent System - A system that continues to be the #1 protector of today’s kitchen equipment.

Appliance-Specific Design. The most efficient fire protection is accomplished when nozzles are selected and aimed at specific hazard areas on each appliance. Vanguard has found that this method typically provides the most economical use of liquid agent reducing the size or quantity of storage tanks and associated hardware.

R-102 Nozzle SpacingOverlapping Appliance Protection. When flexibility and simplicity are most important, nozzles are placed in a straight-line arrangement providing overlapping agent discharge patterns. This creates a virtual fire-free zone where appliances of various types and sizes are protected - even if they are replaced or rearranged under the hood.
