BF372SS Yellow Gas Extinguishing Release Point, Surface/Flush
Overview
The C-TEC BF372SS is a yellow gas extinguishing release point designed for use on automatic extinguisher systems to remotely trigger the gas release sequence. Certified to EN54-11, it provides a clear and dedicated manual release interface for gas suppression applications.
The unit features a smooth-action resettable element that mimics the feel of breaking glass, helping deliver familiar operation without the inconvenience of replacing glass after activation. An LED alarm ring illuminates the call point face when the device is operated.
Supplied with a yellow surface back box, reset key and “Not in Use” label, the BF372SS also includes a yellow flush mounting plate to facilitate optional flush mounting. Its photoluminescent operating window remains visible for up to 5 minutes, helping improve recognition in low-light conditions. A BF372SF flush-mounting-only version is also available.
Key Features & Benefits
Certified Manual Release Device
Certified to EN54-11 by the LPCB, providing confidence for use in professional gas extinguishing and suppression system applications.
Designed for Automatic Extinguisher Systems
Can be used on an automatic extinguisher system to remotely trigger the gas release sequence when manual intervention is required.
Resettable Operating Element
The smooth-action resettable element mimics the feel of breaking glass while avoiding the mess, downtime and replacement cost associated with traditional frangible elements.
Clear Activation Indication
An LED alarm ring illuminates the face of the call point upon activation, giving a clear visual indication that the device has been operated.
Enhanced Visibility
The photoluminescent operating window remains visible for up to 5 minutes, helping users identify the release point more easily in reduced lighting conditions.
Flexible Mounting Arrangement
Supplied for surface mounting as standard, with a yellow flush mounting plate also included to facilitate optional flush installation.

Application Details
Gas Suppression Systems
Designed for gas extinguishing systems where a clearly identified manual release point is required as part of the extinguishant release strategy.
Remote Manual Triggering
Allows authorised manual triggering of the gas release sequence from a dedicated field device away from the main control equipment.
Surface or Flush Installation
Suitable for both surface and optional flush mounting, depending on the installation environment and visual preferences of the project.
Low-Light Recognition
The photoluminescent window and illuminated alarm ring help make the device more recognisable during and after activation.
The BF372SS is supplied with both 470Ω and 680Ω resistor options, with the final value selected by wiring connection. It is supplied with a surface back box and also includes a flush mounting plate for optional flush installation.
