Appliance-Specific Design. The most efficient fire protection is accomplished when nozzles are selected and aimed at specific hazard areas on each appliance. Vanguard has found that this method typically provides the most economical use of liquid agent reducing the size or quantity of storage tanks and associated hardware.

This creates a virtual fire-free zone where appliances of various types and sizes are protected - even if they are replaced or rearranged under the hood.
