A fire suppression solution that mounts discreetly under your kitchen tap
Automist® tap mount is a neat and discreet fire suppression unit that provides additional fire prevention for your kitchen or utility room.
Automist® tap mount is not equivalent to a full sprinkler system and does not have the same performance optimisations as the latest Automist® wall-mounted solutions. It is typically used to provide extra protection to a kitchen, or as part of a fire engineered solution or risk assessment. The misting system helps to protect your home effectively from fast-spreading fires.
How does the Automist® tap mount system work?
How the tap-mounted Automist® system works in detail...
When activated by its heat alarm, the Automist® tap-mounted system blankets the room with high-pressure mist, up to a distance of 4 metres. The fire is then suppressed, allowing residents to escape. The system can be easily switched off with a STOP button once the fire has been successfully controlled.
Installation Choices: Tap Mount, Fixed Wall Mount, or Smartscan®?
For the property owner, the choice of Automist® versions depends on what you hope to achieve. Smartscan® is the most capable and its equivalence to sprinklers confers a much greater range of design freedoms (the same freedoms as other types of residential fire sprinkler). The Automist® fixed nozzle wall-mount system is intended for use in the particular layout of a loft-converted house, as recommended in Approved Document B. The tap mounted system should be used where you simply want a fire safety upgrade around your sink area, or where recommended by a fire engineer or fire risk assessor.
