Residential, Commercial & Industrial
Residential Wildfire Protection
The Platypus Sprinkler system is designed for maximum protection of your home from ember attack in the event of a wildfire.
Professional installation of the Platypus Sprinkler system ensures maximum home fire protection.
Water is sprayed not only onto the house roof keeping gutters wet but also it provides a curtain effect surrounding the building and ground. Installing home fire sprinklers on decking handrails, above gable ends and any other areas at risk of debris build up is also wise. Solar panels can also be an area where debris can build up, consider additional Platypus Sprinklers for these areas.
Availability of water during the wildfire season is normally limited. Our sprinkler is the sensible home fire protection solution because it minimises water usage but maximises the effect of water usage.
Unlike other home fire sprinklers on the market, tests clearly show water sprayed from the Platypus Sprinkler head is less wind affected because of water droplet size and the downward direction of water spray.
The total flow of sprinklers, hose reels etc need to be properly calculated with any static height, pipe friction and head loss through valves and fittings added to the required operating pressure of the sprinkler being used. Automatic start-up systems can also be added to allow for unmanned operation and protection of the asset.
Commercial Ember Protection
Protect your commercial assets with the latest ember protection system, designed to protect your business from ember attack in the event of a bushfire or wildfire.
Professional installation of the Platypus Sprinkler system ensures maximum commercial asset ember protection.
The system sprays water onto the asset requiring protection and also provides a curtain effect surrounding the asset structure and ground. Installing commercial fire sprinklers on decking handrails, perimeter fences and any other areas at risk of debris build up is also wise. Solar panels can also be an area where debris can build up, consider additional Platypus sprinklers for these areas.
Availability of water during the bushfire season is normally limited. Our sprinkler is the sensible commercial fire protection solution because it minimises water usage but maximises the effect of water usage.
Unlike other commercial fire protection sprinklers on the market, tests clearly show water sprayed from the Platypus Sprinkler head is less wind affected because of water droplet size and the downward direction of water spray.
A standard fire pump typically operates 25 of the 2.5mm Platypus Sprinklers. An operating pressure of 250-300kPa is recommended to ensure maximum droplet size. Commercial installations may opt for a higher rate pump, allowing for more sprinklers. Automatic start-up systems can also be added to allow for unmanned operation and protection of the asset.
Public Asset Ember Protection
Save public assets from wildfire ember attack with a smart and simple Platypus Sprinkler system.
How can the Platypus Sprinkler save public assets
Professional installation of the Platypus Sprinkler system ensures maximum public asset ember protection.
The system sprays water onto the asset requiring protection and also provides a curtain effect surrounding the asset structure and surrounding ground. Installing sprinklers on decking handrails, perimeter fences and any other areas at risk of debris build up is also wise. Solar panels can also be an area where debris can build up, consider additional Platypus Sprinklers for these areas.
Our sprinkler is the sensible and reliable fire protection solution because it minimises water usage and maximises the effect of water usage. Unlike other asset ember protection sprinklers on the market, tests clearly show water sprayed from the Platypus Sprinkler head is less wind affected because of water droplet size and the downward direction of water spray.
A standard fire pump typically operates 25 of the 2.5mm Platypus Sprinklers. An operating pressure of 45-50 psi is recommended to ensure maximum droplet size. Large public asset installations may opt for a higher rate pump, allowing for more sprinklers. Automatic start-up systems can also be added to allow for unmanned operation and protection of the asset.
