Johnson Controls, the global pioneer for smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings, announces the launch of the new Tyco NG-2 Nitrogen Generator. Available in stand-alone or wall-mounted models, the NG-2 Nitrogen Generator is engineered to replace the oxygen inside a sprinkler system with nitrogen, helping stop pipe corrosion and extend the life of dry pipe and pre-action fire sprinkler systems.
It leverages a combination of enhanced data management and simplified controls to allow for faster, easier, and smarter installation and operation.

“These next-generation NG-2 designs harness today’s smart technology to empower installers and operators with unmatched control and data,” said Beth Bjorlo, product management director, Fire Suppression Products at Johnson Controls. “The suite of onboard digital tools is designed to simplify installation and maintenance and help make corrosion management more efficient without the need for extensive training.”
The core of these updates is the interactive HMI touchscreen display
Johnson Controls optimized the Tyco NG-2 Nitrogen Generator with an internal redesign, expanded capacity, and a suite of both new and enhanced features while maintaining the core advantages of the legacy model (NG-1). The core of these updates is the interactive human-machine interface (HMI) touchscreen display. It serves as a single point of access to view and manage operations, maintenance, and diagnostic insights.

With real-time information at their fingertips, users can perform regular operation tasks, alarm management, pressure readings, and maintenance scheduling with ease, while also viewing historical data and quickly performing tasks like installation, setup, and condensate management. The Tyco NG-2 Nitrogen Generator features a more efficient and robust internal design that allows for faster installation and minimizes connections in the cabinet to reduce complexity and maintenance. It has a total system capacity of up to 6,500 gallons (24,605 liters) and uses a new Tyco oxygen removal vent controller that monitors and controls the venting process for two or six dry pipe and pre-action sprinkler systems.
It also eliminates the need for a nitrogen tank and reduces the overall equipment footprint
With a wet pipe air vent and nitrogen inerting vent kit, the generator features a unique “fill and purge” breathing method that removes corrosive oxygen and introduces 98% purity nitrogen throughout the entire fire sprinkler system. In addition to corrosion control benefits, the generator design allows for oxygen removal vent installation directly on the riser for faster, easier installation. It also eliminates the need for a nitrogen tank and reduces the overall equipment footprint.
Life of fire sprinkler systems
By greatly reducing corrosion risk in sprinkler systems, the NG-2 helps extend the useful life of fire sprinkler systems, minimizes business interruption, and enhances long-term ROI. It joins the broad Johnson Controls portfolio of fire sprinklers, valves, fire grooved, and other fire sprinkler system products.
The NG-2 is ideal for a variety of facilities, including data centers, cold storage facilities, warehouses, museums, parking structures, mission-critical manufacturing, healthcare buildings, stadiums, and libraries. Tyco NG-2 Nitrogen Generators are FM-approved, CE-certified, and UL 508A listed.
