The FP FIREFIX™ system was used to fit Pirelli’s FP200 Gold fire performance cable, throughout the 42,000 sq ft superstore at the Bullring Link in Birmingham, Europe’s newest shopping capital.
“This is the first time I have used the FP FIREFIX™ system, which was recommended by my local Newey & Eyre”, said Ian Rose, contracts manager of Midlands Fire & Safety. “I was astonished at how quickly we finished the first fix. FP FIREFIX™ halved the time, helping us to finish in only 3 weeks, which meant we achieved cost savings and greater on site productivity. Using traditional methods we would have needed two drills to complete the job in 6 weeks.
“We will definitely be using FP FIREFIX™ on future projects as it helps us save valuable time and money. Another benefit is that the tool is multi-tasking and we have already recouped the price of the equipment.”
Midlands Fire and Safety Ltd was responsible for the design and installation of the whole fire alarm system, which includes a voice alarm system that is activated in the event of a fire.
Using the FP FIREFIX™ system allows the user to rapidly fix either one or two cables at once. Pirelli developed it specifically to meet market demand for a fast, cost effective method of installing cables. This reduction in installation time can mean cost savings of up to 50% in some cases.
FP FIREFIX™ clips are available in red or white and are designed to take the most commonly used FP cable sizes. The FP FIREFIX™ system can be purchased from stockists of Pirelli’s FP200 Gold® and FP Plus™ cables, in kits of 500 fixings. Pirelli are offering a 10-year warranty on installations of FP Plus™ and FP 200 Gold® cables that use the FP FIREFIX™ fixing system.
