Millars Pumps launches UK distribution partnership
Millars Pumps has launched as a specialist UK company and will act as the exclusive distributor of Idroelettrica Spa fire pumps and controllers for the UK fire protection market.
The company said fire protection contractors, installers and engineers will be able to access Idroelettrica Spa equipment through a UK-based team.
The launch includes a range of fire pump and controller options intended for sprinkler, water mist and hydrant system projects.
Millars Pumps focus on fire protection projects
Millars Pumps said it is responding to demand for fire pump solutions across new-build and retrofit work in the UK.
The company linked this demand to stricter fire safety standards and planning requirements.
It added that commercial sites and high-rise residential buildings are upgrading or installing systems that require compliant fire pump equipment.
Millars Pumps said it will support contractors and specifiers with compliant, reliable and space-efficient equipment.
Idroelettrica equipment range and standards
Millars Pumps said Idroelettrica Spa manufactures fire pump-set and pump-house equipment.
It added that Idroelettrica Spa provides end suction, split case, vertical turbine and submersible pumps alongside associated equipment.
Millars Pumps said the manufacturer offers bespoke options designed to meet international, European and British industry standards including FM, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), EN and BS.
The company also referenced expanded manufacturing and in-house testing facilities in Modena as part of Idroelettrica Spa’s production capability.
Firebox pre-fabricated pump room offer
Millars Pumps said it will introduce Firebox, described as Idroelettrica Spa’s pre-fabricated pump room designed to arrive complete and ready to install.
The company described Firebox as an alternative to building a traditional pump house.
Millars Pumps said Firebox is customisable to client specifications and space requirements.
It added that the design allows all sides to open for 360° access for maintenance, inspection or future upgrades.
