For Building Owners

  We don’t just support contractors – we stand behind you over the long term.

  Beyond helping your fire protection contractor do a great job, our Corrosion Prevention Solution is designed to make your investment in fire protection work harder over the life of the building. Our pipes are priced slightly higher than traditional fire sprinkler pipes, but because the solution significantly extends service life, it meaningfully reduces your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – especially important in an era of soaring steel prices where every dollar has to be spent wisely.

  Equally important, the solution is built to keep your sprinkler system available when you actually need it. According to NFPA national research, the leading cause of sprinklers failing to operate is that the system was shut off before the fire, often due to leaks. An NFPA analysis of U.S. fires from 2010–2014 found that about three out of every five (59%) sprinkler non-operations involved shut valves, often driven by chronic leak problems. Reducing leak risk helps reduce the pressure to shut systems off.

  For each qualified project, we issue a project-specific 15-year limited leak warranty certificate directly to you as the building owner. That means the manufacturer of the pipe is taking responsibility for leaks in our pipe caused by internal corrosion (including MIC) in your wet sprinkler system, subject to clear conditions and caps.

  What you get

(1) A manufacturer-backed, owner-facing warranty:
  You receive a written 15-year limited leak warranty certificate for your project, issued directly by us as the pipe manufacturer. The installing fire protection contractor can be named on the certificate as applicable.

(2) Defined coverage, not vague promises:
  The warranty covers qualifying through-wall leaks caused by internal corrosion (including MIC) in our clean-interior steel fire sprinkler pipe in wet systems. It does not cover sprinklers, valves, fittings, nitrogen equipment, or other components, nor external or freeze damage. Caps and a deductible are clearly defined so you know how much protection you have.

(3) Fewer leak-related shutdowns:
  Our corrosion-prevention program combines clean-interior UL & cUL listed steel fire sprinkler pipe, NFPA 13 air venting, documented low-oxygen handover (O₂ ≤ 2%) using WPNI (Tyco, ECS, Potter, or equivalent), and a clear maintenance framework. This helps reduce leak risk that can lead to shut valves and impaired fire protection.

(4) Support for long-term budgeting and sustainability:
  By reducing leak-related repairs and pipe replacement, you can plan maintenance budgets with fewer surprises and reduce material waste over the life of the system.

(5) Attractive for LEED Green Building Projects:
  Our solution supports sustainability by reducing replacement frequency, minimizing material waste, and meeting environmental standards.

What you agree to do

(1) Maintain the system under NFPA 25:
  Inspections, testing, and maintenance must be performed and documented by a qualified fire protection contractor throughout the 15-year period.

(2) Maintain low-oxygen conditions:
  The system is handed over at low oxygen (O₂ ≤ 2%) using Wet Pipe Nitrogen Inerting (WPNI), and your contractor must perform annual oxygen spot checks and re-inert after major water additions or significant modifications.

(3) Keep records:
  Your contractor keeps the documentation (NFPA 25 records, oxygen logs, re-inerting records) needed to keep the warranty in force and to support any claim.

  In simple terms: we stand behind our pipe against internal corrosion as long as your qualified fire protection contractor keeps the system within the design envelope. You get a manufacturer-backed, owner-facing 15-year limited leak warranty, while your contractor keeps providing the NFPA 25 and nitrogen service that your system needs anyway.
