Caledonia, Michigan - In an exciting development for the fire sprinkler industry, InstaSeal® technology is poised to transform the world of fire sprinkler installation. The InstaSeal family, which centers around a gasketed welded pipe outlet and the innovative "Torque-Assist" protective sprinkler cap, promises to streamline the installation process for sprinkler fitters across the industry.
The InstaSeal gasket seals the connection upon sprinkler installation and eliminates the need for sealants like PTFE tape or thread sealant that is typically used for sprinkler installation. The innovation of the integrity cap protects the rubber gasket once inserted inside the fitting.
James Golinveaux, CEO of Viking Group, Inc., expressed his excitement about this game-changing technology, stating, "InstaSeal technology represents a significant leap forward in fire sprinkler installation. Our goal was to simplify the process, eliminate the need for messy sealants and tape and empower contractors to tighten sprinklers by hand. We believe InstaSeal will revolutionize the way contractors work, saving them time and money."
This innovative offering provides a range of benefits, including simplifying the installation process by eliminating the need for sealants. The "Torque-Assist" protective cap enables effortless hand-tightening, removing the necessity for wrenches. InstaSeal not only streamlines workflows but also saves time and money, with faster installations and reduced labor costs.
The InstaSeal welded outlet is precisely engineered to ensure dependable, leak-free seals. cULus Listed and FM Approved, the outlets have undergone extensive quality testing to ensure they meet the highest standards of performance and dependability when used alongside Viking sprinklers.
