The type of sprinkler system you install is crucial for effective fire protection. We provide components for the two most common types, each with unique advantages.
Wet Sprinkler Systems:
- How it Works: The pipes are constantly filled with pressurized water. When a sprinkler head activates, water is immediately discharged onto the fire.
- Benefits: Fastest response time, making them ideal for most applications.
- Best for: Offices, residential buildings, hospitals, and any location where the temperature remains above freezing.
Dry Sprinkler Systems:
- How it Works: The pipes are filled with pressurized air or nitrogen. When a sprinkler head activates, the air pressure drops, triggering a valve that releases water into the pipes and out the sprinkler head.
- Benefits: Prevents freezing of water in the pipes, protecting the system from damage.
- Best for: Unheated warehouses, parking garages, cold storage facilities, and any area where temperatures may drop below freezing.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive Kits: We offer complete component kits for building both types of systems.
- Compliance: All components meet NFPA 13 and other relevant safety standards.
