 About DAB Fire Engineering
When a fire breaks out, there is no room for second measures. Our
carbon dioxide cylinder valves have been used for over 40 years in
fire extinguishing system installations around the world, setting the
standard for performance and reliability.

The gaseous fire extinguishing components we put our name to are

pieces of fine-tuned, precision engineering. We benchmark ourselves
against the best for reliability and effectiveness. Then we go one better,
ensuring anything carrying the DAB name sets new standards, feels just
right and works when it matters.

Each and every one of our products is designed at our facilities in the
UK, and made using material sourced from the best suppliers.

Designed with maintenance in mind Our service is precision engineered too

Our solid designs, durable construction and the use of It is not just our products that perform exceptionally under pressure.
