The Firetrace Indirect Fire Protection System uses the Firetrace Tube as a "Fire Detection" and "System Activation" device, not as the discharge tube.

Once the tubing senses the fire, it then  ruptures - resulting in a drop of pressure causing the Indirect Valve to activate. This diverts flow from the detection tube to the larger outlet ports.

The Extinguishing Agent is then discharged from the cylinder through the diffuser nozzles, flooding the area in a proprietary mix of fire extinguishing chemicals,  effectively suppressing the fire quickly and thoroughly.

This system is typically used in larger areas that require a high volume of Extinguishing Agents, to effectively suppress the fire.

Multiple diffuser nozzles may be added to meet the specific application requirements.
