PYPLOK® in Water Mist Systems
What is a Water Mist System?
Water mist system is a fire suppression system which is highly efficient compared to traditional methods of fire-fighting by using less water and causing reduced water damage.
It works by discharging fine droplets of water (1000 microns and 10 microns) to absorb heat and displace oxygen at the core of the fire. It disintegrates the essential components of a fire also called the fire triangle namely Oxygen, Heat and Fuel using very less water and nullifying the damages caused by flooding the space with water by Traditional methods. For high pressure water mist systems, the water is maintained at pressures above 750 psi.

For high pressure water mist systems, the water is maintained at pressures above 750 psi.
The removal of any of these three components will extinguish the fire. The water mist system extinguishes the fire by neutralizing heat and oxygen, hence it results in quicker firefighting. Water is maintained at a high pressure
The efficiency of a water mist system in fire suppression depends on its spray properties, like droplet size distribution, flux density and spray dynamics, with respect to the fire scenario, such as the shielding of the fuel, fire size and ventilation conditions.
Water mist system has the below advantages as compared to traditional sprinkler system or gaseous systems-
- It has a very quick response
- Water damage to the subject of fire is minimized
- Not toxic
- Environmentally safe
- Highly efficient to suppress a wide variety of fires
PYPLOK® and Water Mist Systems?
PYPLOK® is a 360 degree radially swaged mechanically attached fitting. PYPLOK® pressure rating ranges from 9300 psi to 3500 psi from 6mm to 88.9mm (3" NPS). Since high-pressure water mist systems deal with a pressure rating of either 750 psi, 1000 psi or 1500 psi, PYPLOK® is a well suited product for this application. Further, the cleanliness (No weld contaminants) advantage that a Non-Welded Pipe fitting like PYPLOK® offers proves to be ideal for water mist systems.
Why use PYPLOK® in Water Mist Systems?
High Pressure
PYPLOK® is a High Pressure Fitting which can easily withstand the maximum pressure rating in a water mist system across all sizes.
No Welding
Welded Joints can cause clogs in the nozzle if not flushed properly or worst there can be weld erosion which gradually may block the nozzle thereby leading to disasterous consequences.
PYPLOK® Water Mist Fittings
PYPLOK® has tailor-made fittings specially for Water Mist System to decrease the number of joints/leaks.
Complete Fitting Portfolio
PYPLOK® has a huge portfolio of fittings from ¼” to 4” (6 to 115 mm) PYPLOK® is available in CS/SS/Cu-Ni/Duplex/Super Duplex. Hence the customer can be rest assured to be sourcing from one OEM (PYPLOK®) as opposed to many OEM’s in the case of fittings which have size & material limitations.
Certified Product
PYPLOK® is type approved by DNV/ABS/LR/BV/Class NK/CCS/RMRS/KR which makes it versatile to be used in different industries and regions. Further, PYPLOK® SS fittings from 1/2” through 4” pipe sizes are certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN61 and NSF/ANSI 372 which the latter conforms with the lead content requirements for “lead free” plumbing as defined by California, Vermont, Maryland, and Louisiana state laws and the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act.
Healthy Reference List
PYPLOK® has a healthy list of applications in Water Mist Projects worldwide. Some notable names being Tyne Motorway Tunnel, Ormezo Metro, Madrid City Hall and many. This shows its excellent usability and acceptability in Water Mist Systems Worldwide.
Special Designed Fitting for Water Mist System
Pyplok® has been used in water mist systems for City Halls, Museums, Genetic Labs, Libraries, heritage buildings, Motorway Tunnels, Underground Depot, Yachts, Cruise lines and many more.
