Cables & Hoses
-
Cables installed at first fix in the ceiling need to be visible when we return to commission so the engineer can connect to heat detectors
-
Once client has plastered and painted and ready for commissioning the system, the high-pressure hoses installed at first fix will need to be loose in the wall cavity so our engineers will be able to pull it out of the wall at least 2 inches to install the head
Heat Detectors
The Heat Detectors Installed are mains operated with Battery Back-Up - If the mains are turned off for a period of time the batteries will drain and start beeping and will need replacing at a cost to the client as this does not fall under the Warranty.
