The C-TEC Conventional Yellow Gas Extinguishing Release Point – Surface Mount is a specialist manual activation device designed for use with gas suppression and extinguishing systems. It enables authorised personnel to manually initiate the discharge of a clean agent fire suppression system during an emergency when immediate fire suppression is required. Finished in a highly visible yellow enclosure, this release point is specifically intended for gas extinguishing applications and is ideal for protecting critical assets where water-based fire suppression is unsuitable.

Designed for compatibility with conventional gas extinguishing control panels, the release point provides reliable manual activation of extinguishing systems using clean agents such as FM-200®, Novec™ 1230, CO₂, Inert Gas, Argonite®, IG-541, and similar gaseous suppression systems. It is commonly installed alongside automatic fire detection systems to provide both automatic and manual control of the extinguishing process.

The bright yellow housing clearly identifies the device as a gas release point, allowing operators to quickly locate and activate the suppression system during emergency situations. Once activated, the release point sends a signal to the extinguishing control panel, which begins the programmed discharge sequence in accordance with the system configuration and fire protection strategy.

The unit features a surface-mount design, making installation quick and convenient where flush mounting is not practical. Supplied with a robust surface back box, it is ideal for solid walls, plant rooms, server rooms, electrical installations, and retrofit projects where exposed cabling is used.

Designed for professional fire suppression installations, the release point incorporates a reliable switching mechanism that ensures dependable operation throughout its service life. Clearly marked wiring terminals simplify installation and provide secure electrical connections for conventional extinguishing control systems.

Depending on the system configuration, the device may utilise either a break-glass or resettable operating element, allowing authorised personnel to manually activate the extinguishing system when necessary. Models fitted with resettable elements reduce maintenance costs by eliminating the need to replace broken glass after routine testing or accidental operation.

Manufactured from durable, flame-retardant, impact-resistant materials, the enclosure is built to withstand demanding commercial and industrial environments. Its robust construction provides long-term reliability while maintaining a professional appearance suitable for modern fire protection installations.

The release point is particularly suited for protecting areas containing valuable equipment or sensitive assets where traditional water-based extinguishing systems could cause significant damage. Typical applications include:

Its highly visible yellow colour conforms to industry best practices for extinguishing system controls, helping maintenance personnel and emergency responders quickly distinguish gas release devices from standard manual fire alarm call points.

The C-TEC Conventional Yellow Gas Extinguishing Release Point is designed to integrate seamlessly with C-TEC conventional extinguishing systems and many other compatible gas suppression control panels. It supports dependable operation as part of a complete life safety and asset protection solution, ensuring rapid manual activation when automatic detection alone may not be sufficient.

Easy to install, simple to maintain, and engineered for long-term performance, this release point provides reliable manual control of gaseous fire suppression systems while helping organisations protect critical infrastructure, business continuity, and valuable assets.

Whether installed in data centres, industrial facilities, telecommunications rooms, healthcare environments, financial institutions, museums, or commercial buildings, the C-TEC Conventional Yellow Gas Extinguishing Release Point – Surface Mount delivers dependable manual activation, robust construction, and professional-grade performance. Its durable design, high visibility, and compatibility with conventional gas extinguishing systems make it an essential component of modern clean agent fire suppression installations.
