How does BlazeMaster tubing work?
When exposed to a very high temperature, the chemical consistency of the tube is such that it forms a charred layer which in turn, insulates the tube from any further effects of the fire.
It is important to point out however, that the tube must be fully charged with water to ensure that it functions to its maximum potential
