The Hiller Companies has a fully licensed backflow division to take care of all of your backflow needs. Certified through the American Water Works Association (AWWA), the leading certification agency for municipalities’ water district employees, our technicians carry the highest industry standard for certifications and cross-connection training. Our fire technicians also have Cross Connection Survey and National Plumbing Code training to match municipality training. We are able to work on all makes and models ranging in size from ½’’ to 12’’ assemblies. With 25 years of combined experience in testing, troubleshooting, certification, installation and repairs, we also offer preventative maintenance programs and consulting for all of your backflow and plumbing needs.

Corrosion in fire sprinkler systems is a serious problem. Oxidation is the most common cause of corrosion. When oxygen is trapped in the system, it dissolves into water and reacts with the surface of the piping. This causes iron oxide debris, which reduces systems performance. While corrosion activity in fire sprinkler systems is a common problem, most building or property managers are not aware of the need for monitoring. Often, the first time they become aware of a problem is when there is a leak. By the time a leak forms, corrosion has already caused degradation in the functionality of the system. Problems caused by corrosion: Obstruction in piping, Sprinkler plugging, Reduced hydraulics function, Leaks, Reduction in sprinkler system life. When corrosion is not addressed, it can be costly. Not only is the life of your sprinkler system shortened, but repair and replacement costs are incurred, and business is disrupted.

Covers clean agents such as: IG-541 (Inergen 52% Nitrogen, 40% Argon, 8% Carbon Dioxide), IG-55 (50% Argon and 50% Nitrogen), IG-01 (Argon), IG-100 (Nitrogen). Inert fire suppression systems use argon and nitrogen gases and their mixtures to reduce oxygen levels in a protected space. Once discharged, they are evenly and quickly distributed throughout the area until the oxygen levels no longer support combustion. Inert systems discharge the agent into the space at a steady flow rate, which eliminates turbulence but still meets the 60-second requirement to distribute. Because nitrogen and argon occur naturally in the atmosphere, there is zero negative environmental impact.

Inergen fire suppression systems are clean, quick-acting systems designed for spaces where fire could break out unexpectedly at any time and where people and/or sensitive equipment are present. It uses naturally occurring argon, nitrogen and carbon dioxide to suppress fires in spaces where water is not an option. Inergen floods the area and reduces the oxygen, so combustion cannot occur. Hiller represents various OEMs and many Clean Agent Fire Suppression Products: Inergen – IG-541 (Inergen 52% Nitrogen, 40% Argon, 8% Carbon Dioxide), IG-55 (50% Argon and 50% Nitrogen), IG-01 (Argon), IG-100 (Nitrogen), Pro-Inert – IG-541 (Inergen 52% Nitrogen, 40% Argon, 8% Carbon Dioxide), IG-55 (50% Argon and 50% Nitrogen), IG-01 (Argon)
