What does “FBC Approved” mean?
"FBC approved" refers to a sealant that has been tested and approved for use in fire sprinkler systems. In the context of pipe dope or thread sealant, an approved sealant means that the product has undergone specific testing and evaluation to ensure it meets the safety and performance requirements for use in fire sprinkler installations. These requirements typically involve factors such as:
Fire Resistance: The sealant should be able to withstand high temperatures without degradation or loss of sealing properties.
Chemical Compatibility: The sealant should not react with the materials used in fire sprinkler systems, such as steel or CPVC pipes.
Leak Prevention: The sealant must create a reliable and leak-proof seal between threaded connections to prevent water leakage and maintain the effectiveness of the fire sprinkler system.
