Sprinklers
A fire sprinkler system is a type of automatic extinguishing system (AES) that prevents fire growth and spread by releasing water through a series of sprinkler heads connected to a distribution piping system. Water is released through the sprinkler heads once the surrounding air reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This is an active protection method that can contribute to the safety of firefighters and those they work to protect.
- Pendents
Pendant sprinkler heads descend from the ceiling with a convex, circular, gapped deflector plate on the bottom.
- Uprights
Upright sprinklers have a spray pattern that appears similar to that of a pendent sprinkler.
- Sidewalls
Sidewall fire sprinklers install along walls or beneath beams where ceiling piping is unavailable, or where aesthetic concerns or obstructions weigh against the use of other sprinkler types.
