🔧 Just wrapping up an install of a United Fire Systems NITROGEN-PAC™ nitrogen generator for a private school in New England—a great example of taking a proactive approach to fire protection and facility longevity. 🏫

Most dry and pre-action sprinkler systems are filled with compressed air, which contains oxygen and moisture. Over time, that leads to internal corrosion—one of the leading causes of pinhole leaks and costly system failures.

By switching to high-purity nitrogen, this system is now: 💡

✔️ Reducing internal corrosion 🛡️
✔️ Extending the life of the piping 🔩
✔️ Minimizing future leaks and maintenance costs 💧
✔️ Improving overall system reliability 🔒

Organizations like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) continue to highlight corrosion as a major issue in fire sprinkler systems—making nitrogen generation a smart, forward-thinking solution.

For private schools and campuses across New England—as well as facilities like warehouses, distribution centers, hospitals, data centers, cold storage buildings, and commercial properties—this type of upgrade helps protect infrastructure, reduce long-term costs, and ensure dependable system performance.

If you’re responsible for a facility with a dry or pre-action system, it may be worth exploring how nitrogen can help protect your investment.

🚨 Recalled Fire Sprinkler Head? The Hidden Danger You Might Be Overlooking 🚨

Some buildings may unknowingly have recalled or counterfeit sprinkler heads—and routine inspections often don’t catch them. These hidden risks can mean:

* Sprinklers that fail to activate in an emergency
* Faster fire spread and higher property loss
* Increased risk to occupants and business operations
* Potential liability and insurance complications

Knowing exactly what’s above your head is vital—routine floor-level inspections may miss the real threat.

💡 Our latest blog breaks down the hidden dangers, what to check for, and proper next steps.

It’s the thaw—not just the cold—that can wreak havoc on your fire protection systems.

When temperatures rise after a deep freeze, frozen sprinkler pipes can crack or burst as ice melts and water pressure returns to the system. What seemed fine during the freeze can quickly turn into water pouring through ceilings and major damage inside your building.

These drastic temperature swings are when many fire sprinkler system failures occur.

If you notice leaks, pressure changes, or other warning signs, don’t wait.

FEI is here to help. Whether you need an urgent repair or an expert inspection, our team is ready to respond when fire protection emergencies happen.
