Types of Fire Protection Systems
Based on a determination of your specific needs, we are skilled at installing the system appropriate to your needs.
Common Fire Protection Systems
Wet Fire Sprinkler Systems
The wet-pipe system employs automatic sprinklers attached to a piping system connected to a water supply. The water discharges
immediately from sprinklers opened by a fire. Only those sprinklers which have been operated by heat over the fire will discharge
water.
Dry Pipe Systems
The dry-pipe system employs automatic sprinklers attached to a piping
system containing air or nitrogen under pressure. When released, the water flows into the piping system and discharges only
from those sprinklers which have been operated by the fire. Dry-pipe systems are installed in lieu of wet-pipe systems where
piping is subject to freezing.
Special
Hazard Fire Protection Systems
Special systems are designed to detect and extinguish fires in locations
where standard suppression systems are not appropriate or adequate.
Preaction
Systems
A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers attached to a piping system containing air under
pressure with a supplemental detection system installed in the same area as the sprinklers. Operation of the detection system
activates tripping devices that open a deluge valve, simultaneously and without loss of air pressure in the system.
Deluge
Sprinkler System
Sprinkler system employing open sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that is
connected to a water supply through a valve that is opened by the operation of a detection system installed in the same area
as the sprinklers.
Anti-Freeze Sprinkler System
A wet pipe sprinkler
system employing automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system, that contains an anti-freeze solution and that
are connected to a water supply.
