MA Series FK-5-1-12 Clean Agent System - 250 cu ft, Std Height Cylinder

Providing valuable peace of mind, these pre-enginered complete fire suppression systems are the fastest and safest way to automatically detect and combat an engine room fire!
Charged with the newest environmentally-friendly FK-5-1-12 clean agent, these systems provide complete, automatic flooding of any protected space that would benefit from a fire suppression system.
Typical applications include engine rooms, generator or battery compartments, paint lockers, etc.

Each of these pre-engineerd MA systems is designed to protect an enclosed space with a specific volume.
They are permantently installed (not portable).
If the temperature within the protected space rises above 175°F, the system automatically discharges to extinguish the fire...often before you even realize a fire has occurred.
Compared to the "Automatic Only" CG Series of extinguishers, these MA Series systems offer the ability to manually activate the system via a pull-cable in the rare instances where you might detect the beginnings of a fire, before the engine room temperature has reached 175°F.

MA System features –
• Discharge is automatic at 175°F (79°C) for round-the-clock engine compartment fire protection
• Manual discharge available when used with a Fireboy Manual Discharge Cable (sold separately)
• Worldwide approval for Class B fires - flammable or combustible liquids and gases in engine compartments, machinery spaces and similar industrial applications
• Total flooding of the engine compartment in less than 10 seconds for fast smothering of the fire
• FK-5-1-12 clean extinguishing agent is safe for use in occupied spaces and leaves no harmful residue to clean up, unlike portable dry chemical extinguishers
• Easy to read color coded pressure gauge on cylinder also identifies “charged/discharged” status
• Coverage available from 25 ft³ to 1,800 ft³ in a broad array of increments provides maximum coverage at lowest cost
• Includes system status helm display
• Integrated shelf bracket mounting system
• Available 600 to 750 cu ft "Low Profile" cylinders are shorter, but wider than their "Regular Profile" counterparts; see Brochure
• Systems up to 4,000 ft³ are available with GA FK-5-1-12 Systems

About FK-5-1-12 Clean Agent - Don’t Just Manage A Fire. Extinguish It.
FK-5-1-12 Clean Extinguishing Agent is a highly-effective clean fire suppressant, designed to extinguish a fire in its incipient stage before it has a chance to spread.
FK-5-1-12 Clean Extinguishing Agent evaporates more than 50 times faster than water. Transitions from a liquid to a gaseous state in less than 10 seconds when discharged and quickly achieves vapor extinguishing concentrations in the air.

• Low toxicity – safe for pets and people
• FK-5-1-12 does not displace oxygen and therefore is safe for use in occupied spaces without fear of oxygen deprivation
• Extinguishes fires in less than half the time of CO₂ and other inert gases
• No damage to sensitive equipment
• Not targeted for future emission reduction or regulatory phase-out

WARNING: Vessels with equipment that draws air from within the protected space (such as a running engine, genset or blower) require the installation of an Automatic Engine Shutdown System. See Rleated Products.
In the event of a fire, continued engine or ventilation systm operation can remove the agent, lowering the concentration required to effectively extinguish the fire.

Selecting Your System
1) Determine the volume of your engine compartment in cubic feet or cubic meters, L x W x H. Do NOT deduct for engines, fixed tanks, or other equipment.
2) Choose your model from the FK-5-1-12 size chart in the Brochure.
Example: MA0550NVC-F = automatic discharge with optional manual discharge, 550 cubic feet coverage.
NOTE: When in doubt, always select the next larger model size for adequate protection. Call Fisheries Supply for advice - 800-426-6930.
3) Determine the length of Manual Release Cable needed to easily reach from the fire extinguisher to the main helm station.
4) Remember: Craft with equipment that draws intake air from within the protected space will require installation of an Engine Shutdown System.
