- Movie
Fire extinguishing unit with fire protection performance better than that of a sprinkler system.
SPRINEX realizes a fire protection performance equal to or better than that of a sprinkler system, while being less of a burden on the building or persons.
SPRINEX is a compact fire extinguishing package, making it easier to install and perform maintenance.
SPRINEX is a whole new fire extinguishing system which prevents damage expansion.
Three Strong Points of SPRINEX
- 1st
- Less chance of a secondary disaster due to a discharging fire extinguisher
- SPRINEX uses only 216 liters of fire extinguishing fluid to extinguish fire instead of using large amount of water.
You are less likely to see rooms flooded and can avoid a secondary disaster.
- 2nd
- Space-saving design and no need to prepare a water tank
- SPRINEX does not require a large water tank and the piping diameter is only 34mm.
Its space-saving design allows you to install the system in a wide variety of facilities.
- 3rd
- Easier installation and maintenance
- You need not remove the ceiling to install SPRINEX.
If the ceiling has an access hole, installation can be completed in only two hours for each room.
Basic maintenance is possible with one-touch operation.
Comparison between SPRINEX and a sprinkler system
| SPRINEX | Sprinkler |
|---|---|
Extinguishing performance 4 times better than
that of water prevents another fire breaking out! |
Uses a lot of water to extinguish a fire. |
|
The extinguishing fluid is neutral pH6.9 and safe with very little irritation!
Japan Food Research Laboratories certified that irritation and other effects are extremely low even if the extinguishing agent comes into contact with your skin or eyes. |
Harmless as water is used.
|
Senses and extinguishes rapidly! |
A system for extinguishing a typical building fire. |
False activation rarely occurs! |
False activation rarely occurs. |
Strong against earthquakes and no worries about freezing! |
A freezing protection device is required in cold areas, and worries still remain when an earthquake occurs. |
Maintenance (Checkup) is very easy! * A legal checkup needs to be performed twice a year
(the same applies to a sprinkler). |
Needs to be maintained and managed in a wide variety of ways. |

Installation Example
In the figure below, three SPRINEX systems are installed in one floor following the installation standard. Three different systems are installed alternately according to the size of the rooms, and each color represents the protection area of each system. In this arrangement, each system can extinguish fire occurring in each protection area (under 21㎡), securely and can prevent the spread of a fire.
SPRINEX fire extinguishing system
- 1.
- One unit of SPRINEX can cover a protection area of 21㎡. When you use a 50-channel sensor board, the protection area extends up to 1,050㎡.
- 2.
- When either of the two different types of sensor detects a fire, it beeps to notify another sensor that a fire has occurred. Then, the system in the fire compartment starts up, opens the selection valve, and fire extinguishing fluid is discharged from outlets in the system. The 216L of fluid extinguishes a fire securely and can prevent reignition.
- 3.
- SPRINEX units are installed alternately according to the installation standard.
By arranging the pipe network for each system alternately, each system covers an area of under 21㎡ and prevents the spread of a fire. - 4.
- The maximum length of the main pipe is 90m. However, when the pipe branches off left and right at the main unit, the length can be extended up to 180m.
System Diagram of SPRINEX
For FSSM500II
- Three types of sensor board are available. (50 channels, 125 channels, or 175 channels)
- One sensor board can control up to three main units.
- A sensor board is for indoor use. However, a main unit with fire extinguishing fluid tanks for outdoor use is available.
- You can install a sensor board indoors and a main unit with fire extinguishing fluid tanks outdoors.
- Install two sensor boards if you have more than 175 protection areas.
- The low profile design of the main unit allows you to install it in a small space such as under the stairs.
FSSM500III
- There are two types of main unit: header unit (with a sensor board) and follower unit (without a sensor board).
- There are two types of header unit and follower unit: indoor type and outdoor type.
- A header unit is equipped with a sensor board and fire extinguishing fluid tanks.
- A follower unit is equipped with fire extinguishing fluid tanks only.
- One header unit can control up to two follower units.
- Install multiple header units for a large building.
