When you’re out on the water, fire is one of the most dangerous threats a vessel can face. That’s why marine fire suppression systems are not just a recommendation—they’re a necessity. At Flexco, we don’t sell or install full marine systems. Instead, we specialise in high-quality parts and components that keep marine fire suppression setups running at peak reliability.
Whether you're maintaining a private yacht, fishing vessel, or commercial marine craft, Flexco provides the components you need to safeguard your vessel from onboard fire risks.
What Are Marine Fire Suppression Systems?
Marine fire suppression systems are specifically engineered to detect and suppress fires in marine environments. They’re built to perform under high-moisture, high-vibration, and often high-salt conditions. These systems must activate rapidly and operate without human intervention—especially in the confined spaces of an engine room or fuel storage area.
Depending on the vessel type, a system might use gas (like CO₂ or FM-200), foam, or a dry chemical agent to suppress the fire.
Where Are These Systems Used?
Marine fire suppression systems are critical across many watercraft types, including:
Commercial fishing boats
Luxury yachts and cruisers
Offshore service vessels
Cargo ships and tankers
Defence and patrol boats
Ferries and passenger vessels
Each of these vessel types presents unique challenges, making proper system design—and quality parts—essential.
Flexco’s Role in Marine Fire Suppression
At Flexco, we supply the essential parts and fittings needed for marine fire suppression systems. We work with installers, service technicians, and marine engineers to ensure that systems are always stocked with compliant, durable components.
We stock and supply:
Marine-grade nozzles and adaptors
Stainless steel pipe fittings
Pressure switches and sensors
Control valves and activation mechanisms
Heat and flame detectors
High-resistance brackets and mounts
All components are chosen for their durability, corrosion resistance, and reliability in harsh marine environments.
Why Marine Fire Systems Need Specialised Parts
Salt air, constant motion, and limited escape routes mean marine fire suppression systems face tougher conditions than land-based systems. Parts must resist corrosion, vibration, and temperature shifts without failure.
Flexco ensures every component we stock is rated for marine use or harsh environmental exposure. We provide expert support and can help confirm which parts are best suited for your vessel’s specific fire suppression system.
Compatible with Leading Fire Suppression Technologies
We provide components compatible with:
CO₂ suppression systems
FM-200 and clean agent systems
Novec 1230 systems
Foam-based suppression setups
Automatic engine room fire systems
Whether you're replacing aging fittings or upgrading your setup, Flexco can provide compatible, high-grade parts that meet both safety and compliance requirements.
