Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], July 14: fischer offers sprinkler loop hangers, pipe clamps, beam clamps and fastening elements approved by Germany's Property Insurer Associations FM and VdS, certifying their suitability for safe application in sprinkler systems. Plugs and anchors suitable for sprinkler systems feature CE marking based on the relevant ETA.
Sprinkler systems are an important component of fire protection systems, the requirements of which go beyond building regulations in some cases. They are highly effective in extinguishing and making people aware of fire hazards. As a result, they are fitted as standard in many buildings.
Mr. Mayank Kalra, Managing Director of fischer India, emphasizes the company's unwavering commitment to delivering robust, certified solutions that meet global standards like FM and VdS. "Sprinkler systems are a critical aspect of modern fire protection solutions, ensuring safety and compliance beyond standard building regulations. fischer continues to set industry benchmarks by prioritizing safety, quality, and compliance. Through reliable and globally certified solutions, the company remains dedicated to safeguarding lives and infrastructure across diverse built environments."
Sprinkler systems are an important component of fire protection systems, the requirements of which go beyond building regulations in some cases. They are highly effective in extinguishing and making people aware of fire hazards. As a result, they are fitted as standard in many buildings.
Applicable guidelines include the European VdS standard (VdS CEA 4001) and the almost identical EN 12845 (European standard), the American FM standard 1951 (Factory Mutual Insurance Company, FM Global) in addition to the UL standard (Underwriters Laboratories, UL) based on the NFPA 13 (National Fire Protection Association, NFPA). The American standards can complement one another as well as the European standards and guidelines in terms of the requirements when fastening conduits, although there are some differences to be considered when looking at the details. Depending on the guideline, different load specifications apply to pipe supports for sprinkler conduits as a test load or minimum load-bearing capacity or in terms of fastening distances and connection thread sizes when using steel pipes. These regulations cover pipe clamps and loops in addition to all other fastening elements, such as plugs, anchors, beam clamps and trapezoidal sheet hangers. Pipe clamps and loops must be approved and listed under the FM and UL standards. VdS and EN 12845 specify aspects such as minimum material thickness and width requirements that must be met in addition to the specified loads.
The fixing specialist fischer offers sprinkler loop hangers (FRLH/FRSP/FCHS), riser clamps (RCWR), U-bolts (ETR), threaded rods/threaded pins (G/GS), beam clamps (TKLS/TKL) and profile hangers (TZ/TZH) that meet these requirements. The KDS toggle plug allows conduits and other components to be easily mounted on the trapezoidal metal sheet in stationary sprinkler systems in a compliant and convenient manner. The height-adjustable threaded rod, which is secured to prevent it from accidentally loosening, allows the components to be practically aligned on trapezoidal metal sheets. Various lengths of the KDS toggle plug cover different applications.
Other new additions to fischer's range include the corrosion-resistant TKLG swivel beam clamp, which was designed to safely and easily fasten sprinkler pipes to inclined steel supports thanks to its technical ingenuities. FRLH is a premium sprinkler loop hanger which allows approved sprinkler systems to be installed in buildings with height adjustment and is highly corrosion resistant. FRSMN, a two-screw galvanised heavy-duty pipe clamp without a sound insulation insert, is approved for sprinkler systems and comes equipped with a double connection nut and from DN 300 with an M16 connection nut. The connection nuts are pushed through or welded all round and provide pipe fastenings with a higher bending strength. The version with two screws enables optimised adaptation to the outer diameter of the pipe, which means that pipes with an outer diameter of 15 - 521 mm can be securely fastened with threaded pipes indoors.
Another new addition to the range is the ETR-L, fischer's U-bolt with a longer metric thread that offers even more flexibility on top of the ETR when fastening various pipe systems in buildings. The version with two screws enables optimised adaptation to the outer diameter of the pipe. The U-bolt is fastened to steel profiles or consoles. The fischer FETR-C channel connector allows the fischer ETR/ETR-L to be connected to the FUS channel system with ease. It can be freely positioned on all FUS channels, regardless of their hole pattern.
fischer's range of products suitable for sprinkler systems includes plugs and anchors deemed suitable for sprinklers as per the VdS and FM standards and features a CE marking based on the relevant ETA. fischer's fixing solutions for sprinklers cover a vast range of applications. Pipe supports can be carried out in concrete (single and multiple fastenings), aerated concrete, trapezoidal metal sheets and in steel construction with suitable all-in-one systems.

Prices set to explode: Trump's tariffs could make your tomatoes cost more than steak — starting today

FAQs If you thought your grocery bill was already high, brace yourself as tomatoes could be the next luxury item on your receipt. Prices are expected to rise across the United States as a result of new tariffs on Mexican imports, hurting restaurants, small businesses, and everyday shoppers in the produce aisle.20.9% tariffs on the majority of Mexican tomato imports could replace a nearly three-decade-old US-Mexico trade agreement on July 14, putting a strain on restaurants and raising grocery costs, as quoted in a report by tariffs on tomatoes are just one of the most recent instances of US President Donald Trump 's chaotic tariff policy. His tariffs have already disrupted international trade and left businesses unsure of how to prepare for the trade protections eroding and political tensions rising, American consumers may soon pay steak-like prices for tomatoes, and small business owners fear the worst as supply chains become unstable. Some small businesses may completely shut down as a result of higher to some US growers, the tariffs, which are intended to combat "dumping," or the practice of undercutting domestic products by selling cheap exports into a foreign market, are long may have to pay more for tomatoes at the grocery store, pizza place, and other of May 2025, US consumers paid approximately $1.70 per pound for tomatoes grown in the fields, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These tariffs could result in a 10% increase in consumer tomato prices and a 5% decrease in demand, according to Timothy Richards, an agribusiness professor at Arizona State University, as quoted in a report by to the US Department of Agriculture, the United States is the largest market for Mexican tomato exports. The department concluded that the new tariffs would probably result in fewer tomato imports and higher prices in a report released in over three decades, Mexican producers have been illegally dumping tomatoes at unfair prices into the U.S. market despite five consecutive agreements, according to a statement released by Robert Guenther, executive vice president of the Florida Tomato Exchange, which CNN went on, "I believe the trade agreement has harmed American farmers."The Tomato Suspension Agreement, which has been in effect since 1996, establishes a floor for tomato the "current agreement has failed to protect U.S. tomato growers from unfairly priced Mexican imports," the Commerce Department said in a statement in April that it was leaving the agreement.

She asserted that her business may fail if tomato prices increase due to new tariffs on the Mexican-grown and consumers are being greatly impacted by the tariffs on Mexican tomatoes, which are raising demand and driving up prices. While some businesses, like Appollonia's Pizza, are sourcing tomatoes from domestic growers, others, like Heinz and DiGiornio, are avoiding the tariffs by using tomatoes produced in the United some businesses might have to increase menu prices because not everyone can afford the expense of using Mexican tomatoes as is making an effort to purchase tomatoes from domestic growers, but she may have to increase menu prices if they are unable to locate US tomatoes in a timely manner. For her mental health, she has stopped watching the news every day and is waiting for the tariff to be to geographic diversity and technological advancements, American tomato growers are able to produce enough tomatoes throughout the year. If the agreement were to be terminated, Mexican producers would still be able to sell tomatoes in the United States, but they would have to abide by trade quarterly audits of Mexican imports have been conducted, and tariffs on essential ingredients like cheese have already increased costs and can cause problems in a high-stress tariffs could go into effect as early as July 14, predict that the tariffs will cause a 10% increase in consumer tomato prices.

Too close for comfort: On America's tariff and U.S.-Canada ties
On July 10, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, despite Ottawa rescinding a 3% digital services tax (DST) that was to go into effect on June 30; Mr. Trump had dubbed this as an 'attack on American firms'. Canada expected that it would generate about $5 billion from DST on revenues from Canadian-source digital services over five years dating it back to January 1, 2022. The 35% tax was imposed despite ongoing trade talks, which Canada was hoping would result in a trade deal by July 21 — as agreed upon between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mr. Trump on the sidelines of the G-7 summit in mid-June. The new 35% tax, that was conveyed to Mr. Carney through a letter, which Mr. Trump sent to more than 20 U.S. trading partners, is likely to exempt items compliant under the 2018 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Canada and the U.S. are each other's largest trading partners. In fact, despite Mr. Trump's constant refrain about the flow of fentanyl, the opioid coming through America's northern borders (less than 0.1% of what lands in the U.S.), what has rankled the American President is the trade surplus of about $63 billion in Canada's favour. This on-again-off again approach to tariffs as a stick against America's trading partners has forced even steadfast allies such as Canada to scramble to diversify. Hours before receiving Mr. Trump's letter, Mr. Carney posted a picture of himself with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on X, saying, '... the world is turning to reliable economic partners like Canada.' America's action against Canada brings to mind a similar episode about a decade ago between close neighbours, India and Nepal. India closed land ports following the enactment of Nepal's new Constitution citing fears about the treatment of the minority Madhesi community that has had close ties to India. This action crippled Nepal's land-locked economy that was entirely reliant on Indian ports such as Kolkata and Visakhapatnam for its trade. Acute fuel and medicine shortages followed. Nepal's GDP collapsed from 3.3% in FY15 to 0.2% in FY16, and Nepalis began harbouring a deep resentment toward India. New Delhi's move forced Nepal to recalibrate its foreign and economic policy, eventually leading it to join China's Belt and Road Initiative in 2017 and accepting massive infrastructure funds from Beijing, much to New Delhi's dismay. This episode, between two vastly different nations, would serve Washington well to realise that mending a trade imbalance must not come at the expense of losing one of its closest allies with deep running cultural and linguistic ties, as Canada, with an economy that is one-eleventh that of the U.S. albeit with a trade surplus, now attempts to redraw its foreign and economic strategies.
