ally, sets the market standard for fire sprinkler design
criteria. The coverage it offers reduces the number of

saving time, money and, most importantly, lives.

tal networked valve system that gives customers
calibration data, maintenance requirements, and
performance information in a single control network
so they can optimize plant equipment and increase
uptime for improving production.
