We built the live demonstration rig to train our in house team on the latest BS9251:2021 regulations and to educate others within the building sector on fire sprinkler systems and key components relating to Monitoring and annual testing.
Below are some of the best products on the market for Residential & Domestic occupancies
ZONECHECK – Cat 2 – 4
Testing with no disruption to tenants.
ZONECHECK RESIDENTIAL The Zonecheck system is the sustainable way to carry out this important test quickly and efficiently. Zonecheck simplifies testing by re-circulating the water within the pipe around the flow-switch (no water is discharged from the system) simulating the flow of one sprinkler head in operation. The residential model has been designed as a compact solution that can be easy installed in tight spaces within residential buildings. Zonecheck is easy to use and requires no specialist skills – a test is activated at the turn of a key or automated via our addressable system. Zonecheck Residential is a factory assembled and fully tested unit.

Rapidrop innovative Monitored Residential Riser Test and Drain Valve Pre-Wired with Model 120 Ball Valve is designed to meet requirements of BS 9251: 2021, for use in all domestic and residential properties.

Commonly used in residential systems as a zone or control valve. The full bore design allows minimal flow restriction and pressure loss.
