FM-Approved Pipe Supports for Sprinkler and Fire Protection Systems

FM-approved pipe supports for sprinkler and fire protection systems must meet stringent requirements for safety, reliability and standard-compliant installations. They perform a critical function by supporting system loads and transferring them safely to the building structure.

With the FM-approved Stabil D-2G and Stabil D-3G pipe clamps, Sikla provides solutions for a wide range of pipe dimensions and load requirements. Both product ranges are part of Sikla’s FM-approved support portfolio for sprinkler and fire protection systems.

What does the FM Approval mean for pipe supports?

Pipe supports with the FM approval meet the requirements of FM Approvals.

FM Approvals is an internationally recognised testing and certification organisation for safety-critical applications. FM-approved components are commonly used for sprinkler and fire protection systems because they are tested to defined FM standards and meet demanding requirements for safety and reliability.

For designers, installers and facility managers, FM-approved pipe supports offer several advantages:

• Use of tested and approved components

• Greater confidence during design and installation

• Clearly defined requirements for support components

• Reliable, coordinated solutions for sprinkler and fire protection system installations

FM-Approved pipe supports for different pipe dimensions

With the Stabil D-2G and Stabil D-3G product series, Sikla offers FM-approved pipe supports for a wide range of pipe sizes and load requirements. Selection is based primarily on the required clamping range, connection size and specific application.

Stabil D-2G

The Stabil D-2G is designed for FM applications with a clamping range of 29 mm to 129 mm.

Developed for M10 and M16 connections which commonly used for FM applications. By focusing on these connection sizes, product selection is simplified for planning and installation to be more efficient.

The Stabil D-2G is also available in an FM-compliant version with an EPDM liner. The EPDM liner provides acoustic isolation in accordance with DIN 4109 and reduces the transmission of structure-borne noise.

Additional benefits of the Stabil D-2G range include:

• FM-approved design

• M10 and M16 connection sizes

• High installation reliability

• Proven stability and dependability

• Compatibility with Sikla support systems

• EPDM-lined version for acoustic isolation in accordance with DIN 4109

Stabil D-3G

For applications with larger pipe diameters, the Stabil D-3G is the appropriate solution. For FM applications, they are available in a clamping range from 124 mm to 173 mm and is particularly suitable for piping systems with higher loads.

The Stabil D-3G is also available in an FM-compliant version with an EPDM liner. The liner reduces the transmission of structure-borne noise while meeting the requirements of DIN 4109.

FM-approved versions are available with 1/2", M16 and M12 threaded connections.

• FM-approved design

• Clamping ranges from 124 mm to 173 mm

• Connection sizes: 1/2", M16, and M12

• Designed for larger pipe diameters

• Suitable for higher load requirements

• EPDM-lined version for acoustic isolation in accordance with DIN 4109

Stabil D-2G or Stabil D-3G? Product comparison

Both pipe clamps are designed for different pipe sizes and application requirements.

The Stabil D-2G is ideal for typical sprinkler and fire protection applications with pipe diameters from 29 mm to 129 mm. For larger pipe dimensions and higher load requirements, the Stabil D-3G is the most appropriate solution.

Within the overlapping clamping range of 124 mm to 129 mm, selection should be based on the required connection size, load requirements and the specific application.

HCP version for enhanced corrosion protection

Both the Stabil D-2G and Stabil D-3G are available in the HCP (High Corrosion Protection) version.

Design for demanding environments with elevated moisture levels and increased exposure to corrosion. As a result, they are particularly suitable for use in damp, corrosive or industrial environments.

Benefits of the HCP version include:

• Enhanced corrosion protection compared to standard surface finishes

• Long service life, even in demanding environmental conditions

• Reduced maintenance requirements

• Reliable long-term investment protection throughout the system lifecycle

• A consistent corrosion protection concept across the entire support system

Applications for Sprinkler and Fire Protection Systems

Typical applications include:

• Sprinkler systems

• Fire protection systems

• Damp or high-moisture environments

• Industrial facilities

• Applications requiring enhanced long-term corrosion protection

Sikla’s FM-Approved Support Portfolio

The Stabil D-2G and Stabil D-3G pipe clamps are part of Sikla’s FM-approved product portfolio. They are complemented by additional certified components such as beam clamps and anchoring solutions.

This provides coordinated support solutions for sprinkler and fire protection systems from a single source.

Conclusion

With the FM-approved Stabil D-2G and Stabil D-3G pipe clamps, Sikla offers support solutions for a wide range of pipe dimensions and load requirements for sprinkler and fire protection systems. The Stabil D-2G covers a clamping range from 29 mm to 129 mm and is suited to standard FM applications. The Stabil D-3G is designed for larger pipe diameters from 124 mm to 173 mm and for higher load requirements.

Both pipe clamps are also available in FM-compliant versions with EPDM liners. This supports acoustic isolation in accordance with DIN 4109 and makes them suitable for projects with increased building acoustics requirements.

With the additional HCP version, both product variants are equally suitable for applications requiring enhanced long-term corrosion protection. The portfolio is further complemented by other FM-approved components such as beam clamps and anchoring solutions.

siklasicher means combining technical performance with simple, reliable installation. The Stabil D-2G and Stabil D-3G are an example of delivering this commitment.
