5 points to check before choosing a component for a sprinkler system

1. Compliance with standards

Check that the component meets NFPA requirements, required approvals and building codes applicable to your project.

2. Ease of integration into existing system

In a modernization project, it is essential to validate compatibility with the infrastructure already in place.

3. Corrosion resistance

This element is important in environments where the durability of the network may be affected, notably in certain dry and pre-action systems.

4. Quality of technical documentation

Engineering and installation teams need clear information for validation, approval and execution.

5. The level of support offered by the distributor

Relevant technical support helps to reduce selection errors and better adapt the component to the actual building context.

FAQ: frequently asked questions about Figure 22L2

Does the Figure 22L2 comply with NFPA standards?

Yes, the product is presented as NFPA-compliant, with cULus certification and compatibility with building codes applicable in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada.

What types of buildings can the Figure 22L2 be used in?

It can be integrated into a variety of environments, including office buildings, shopping centers, manufacturing plants, healthcare facilities and some government installations.

Why is corrosion resistance important?

Corrosion can shorten the life of a sprinkler system and increase the need for corrective maintenance. Better corrosion resistance therefore supports long-term reliability.

How can I reduce sprinkler system installation time?

Choosing components designed for simplified installation can help speed up on-site installation, especially in commercial projects with tight schedules.

Is the Figure 22L2 suitable for a renovation project?

Yes, it is presented as compatible with integration into existing systems, making it a relevant option for gradual upgrades.

Why is technical documentation important?

Clear documentation facilitates the work of consulting engineers, contractors and compliance teams. It helps validate connections, operating parameters and project requirements.

What role does SCS play in the selection of the Figure 22L2?

SCS acts as a distributor and offers technical support to help identify the appropriate application, prepare product selection and assist with project integration.

NFPA compliance, cULus certification and building codes: what this means for a project

In a fire protection project, compliance is not just an administrative requirement. It has a direct influence on system acceptance, coordination between stakeholders and the overall quality of the installation.

Figure 22L2 is presented as a component that meets this expectation by combining :

• compliance with NFPA standards;

• cULus approval;

• compliance with building codes applicable in Quebec and Canada;

• technical documentation to facilitate project validation.

For design and implementation teams, this helps to reduce uncertainty during specification and installation.

Rapid installation: a concrete advantage for tight schedules

In commercial projects, installation time has a direct impact on labor costs, trade coordination and business continuity. A component that is simpler to install can therefore create a real operational advantage.

Figure 22L2 is put forward to :

• simplify on-site installation;

• limit disruption to buildings in use;

• support the execution of renovation or upgrade projects;

• maintain a high level of quality and safety during installation.

This is particularly useful where scheduling, building access or technical coordination constraints are high.

Long-term reliability and corrosion resistance in dry and pre-action systems

The performance of a fire protection system is also measured over time. For many asset managers and safety officers, the question is not just whether a component is compliant today, but whether it will remain dependable over time.

Figure 22L2 is presented as adapted to this challenge, thanks to :

• materials and treatments favoring durability;

• attention to quality control;

• corrosion resistance relevant to certain more demanding applications;

• a contribution to reducing the need for corrective action.

In dry and pre-action systems, where the risk of corrosion can be higher, this criterion deserves particular attention right from the selection phase.

Integration into existing systems: the right approach for modernization projects

Many organizations do not replace their entire fire protection infrastructure in a single phase. Instead, they prefer a phased approach, compatible with their budgetary and operational realities.

In this context, Figure 22L2 may be of interest if your project requires :

• a targeted upgrade;

• greater compatibility with existing systems

• improved overall performance without a complete overhaul;

• seamless coordination between engineering, purchasing and installation.

This logic is particularly relevant in busy commercial buildings, active industrial facilities and establishments where disruption to operations must be kept to a minimum.
