We design and install
residential fire sprinkler systems. These use a concealed sprinkler head
which is unobtrusive, but effective.
The UL listed orange CPVC
piping has water in it at all times so must be below the insulation as shown at
the right.
Sometimes a water supply
tank and pump must be provided to ensure adequate water supply for suppressing a
fire. In any case, each system is tested to ensure that it meets design
and code requirements. This picture shows a flow test valve in place where
a sprinkler head will be installed.
The blue cover
protects the sprinkler head
components during construction.
A decorative escutcheon which
appears as an off-white 3 inch
diameter disc on the ceiling is
installed after the room is
painted. During a fire the
escutcheon drop off the
sprinkler head, exposing the
sprinkler component. If
temperature continues to
increase, the sprinkler opens to
spray water on the fire.
Only the sprinklers exposed to
the intense heat of a fire will
open. |
