Tube based fire suppression systems are not FM or UL listed because there is no category for the product. We interviewed two makers, Proteng and Blaze Cut. We handled the products, but we didn’t start a fire and put it out. They use a very similar hose material and the same fire suppression agent.
1. Bilge installation. Bilge pump fires are among the more common causes of loss, because corrosion is common and because they run unattended.2. Battery compartments present an interesting case. Lead acid batteries are a piece of cake. Install a few small tubes inside the case and they can snuff a fire out soon as it starts.3. Gasoline tanks are logical areas for a tube based fire suppression systems to be located.
