Listings and documents
Listings are stated on each product page. Most items are UL listed and/or FM approved; several carry ULC listing, such as the wet pipe alarm valve, angle hose and landing valves, and Siamese fire department connections; a few accessories are CE-marked only. Every order ships with mill test certificates and submittal drawings, and fire protection items also come with their UL/FM listing documents.
Sprinkler, standpipe and fire pump systems in Canada are generally designed to NFPA 13, NFPA 14 and NFPA 20, the standards referenced by provincial building codes such as Ontario’s. Tell us which standard and listing your specification calls for, and we match each line item to it.
