VESDA E700-SP — miniature sampling point for aspirating smoke detection (ASD) systems, for 8 mm OD capillary tube.In an aspirating system the detector draws air through a network of pipe. The sampling point is what creates a defined, visible air inlet at the end of a capillary run, so air is drawn from the exact location that needs protecting rather than from the general pipe route. The E700-SP is a conical surface-mount fitting designed as the termination for an 8 mm capillary tube.Installation is push-in: the tube pushes into the fitting and a built-in locking ring holds it and maintains airflow integrity, which matters because a loose capillary changes the airflow balance of the whole pipe network. The injection-moulded engineered polymer body is corrosion resistant for long service life. Conical sampling point, surface mount Termination for 8 mm OD capillary tube Injection-moulded engineered polymer body Sold individually — a single pipe network normally uses many Companion part: the matching capillary tube is the E700-CT, 5.2 mm ID / 8 mm OD, sold per metre. The E700-CAPKIT plastic connector kit is used where the capillary joins the trunk pipe.Design note: the length of each capillary tube is a critical element of the VESDA ASPIRE calculation and should be kept to a minimum wherever possible for optimum performance. Run the pipe network through ASPIRE before committing to capillary lengths — a long capillary can put transport time outside the listed limit even when the rest of the network is correct.Typical applications are data halls, cleanrooms, communications and equipment enclosures, and high-ceiling spaces where a discreet, precisely placed inlet is needed.
