A little bit more about
Fire Halo™
Two Cousins from Lithgow, New South Wales
Fire Halo Building Protection Pty Ltd is a family company from the Blue Mountains, New South Wales. They developed the Fire Halo™ following recent catastrophic bushfires when they noticed their neighbours up on their roof risking serious injury or worse, with hoses, sprinklers and clothing trying to fill and plug their gutters.
The Fire Halo™ is fully patented and trademarked, as well as Australian Made.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Fire Halo™ is the right one for my house?
If your house is one which has 90mm PVC ‘conventional’ downpipes (downpipes that disperse the water onto the ground or street) the Conventional Fire Halo™ is the one to go with. If your house has all 90mm PVC downpipes connected to the one pipe that feeds into an aboveground tank (mostly slimline) then the Charged Fire Halo™ is the device for you. The Charged Fire Halo™ must be installed onto the 90/100mm PVC tank feeder pipe for it to flood all downpipes that connected to it.
What if I have metal conventional downpipes?
If you have metal conventional downpipes then you must convert these to 90mm PVC for the Fire Halo™ to work as intended. This only requires converting from the gutter to the top of the Fire Halo™. Any metal downpipe below the Fire Halo™ can remain in its current place to continue to serve as a rainwater dispenser.
What if I have more than one metal conventional downpipe?
If there are multiple metal conventional downpipes attached to the one gutter then the remaining downpipes only require the 90mm Ball Valve and not the Fire Halo™ itself. Again, these other downpipes must have a 90mm PVC pipe connected from the gutter to the top of the 90mm Ball Valve. The metal downpipe can still remain in its current place below the 90mm Ball Valve. At least one downpipe from the gutter must have the Fire Halo™ installed to flood the gutter.
I already have 90mm PVC conventional downpipes, how can I install a Fire Halo?
If you have 90mm conventional downpipes on your house then you only require installing a Fire Halo™ on one of the downpipes per gutter. The remaining downpipes attached to that gutter only require installing the 90mm Ball Valve.
Should I install a Fire Halo if I have leaf/gutter guard installed?
Yes, in fact not only would the Fire Halo™ work as a secondary protection against ember attacks, but also works well as a first flush system for houses fitted with leaf/gutter guard.
