Fire Suppression Systems

Sprinkler
Systems

Sprinkler systems are fire suppression systems designed to automatically detect and control or extinguish fires in buildings. Comprising a network of pipes with strategically placed sprinkler heads, these systems release water when heat from a fire activates them. The water helps suppress or extinguish the flames, preventing the fire from spreading. Sprinkler systems are a crucial element in fire safety, providing rapid and localized response to protect people, property, and valuable assets across various settings, including commercial, residential, industrial, and institutional buildings. They operate automatically, minimizing the need for human intervention during the critical early stages of a fire. Regular maintenance and adherence to safety standards are essential to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of sprinkler systems.

Fire Sprinkler

The sprinkler, which is the primary component of fire suppression systems widely used in all types of buildings, becomes active when the surrounding air reaches a certain temperature, enabling the control or complete extinguishing of flames. The types of sprinkler heads commonly employed include:

  • Standard Coverage Sprinkler
  • Extended Coverage Sprinkler
  • Storage Sprinkler Dry Type Sprinkler
  • Residential Sprinkler
  • Open Nozzles/Sprinkler
  • Special Application Sprinkler

Alarm Valves

The sprinkler and piping system within a protected volume are controlled and monitored by a fire alarm valve.

These valves send signals to the central alarm system during a fire while alerting occupants through mechanical means. In some cases, alarm valves can be configured to initiate suppression in the protected area by triggering the detection system hydraulically or pneumatically.

The main types of alarm valves used are:

  • Wet System Alarm Valve
  • Dry System Alarm Valve
  • Deluge System Alarm Valve
  • Pre-Action System Alarm Valve

Valves

Valves, which play another crucial role in fire suppression systems, are strategically placed in specific areas of the piping network to ensure the correct operation of the system and facilitate maintenance activities.

These valves serve various functions such as pressure reduction, flow direction regulation, emergency shut-off, and opening. The main types of valves used for these purposes include:

  • Butterfly Valves
  • Gate (OS&Y - NRS) Valves
  • Swing Check Valves
  • Pressure Reducing & Relief Valves
  • Test-Drain & Ball Valves

Grooved Fittings

Grooved pipe joining equipment, due to its superior ease of assembly, has surpassed threaded and welded pipe joining methods in the installation of fire suppression systems.

Fittings materials preferred for tasks such as joining main pipes, creating pipe turns, and branching off pipes include the following:

  • Rigid and Flexible Couplings
  • Sprinkler Outlets
  • Concentric Reducers
  • Tees and Crosses
  • Caps & Gaskets
  • Elbows & Flange Adapters

Main Applications

1Commercial Buildings
Sprinkler systems are extensively used in commercial structures such as offices, malls, and hotels to safeguard occupants and property by swiftly responding to fire incidents.
2Industrial Facilities
In manufacturing plants, warehouses, and other industrial settings, sprinkler systems are crucial for fire protection, mitigating the risk of significant damage to equipment and materials.
3Residential Buildings
Some residential structures, especially high-rises and apartment complexes, incorporate sprinkler systems to enhance occupant safety and minimize property damage in the event of a fire.
4Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals and healthcare institutions employ sprinkler systems to protect patients, staff, and critical medical equipment, ensuring a rapid response to potential fire emergencies.
5Educational Institutions
Sprinkler systems are installed in schools, colleges, and universities to provide a reliable and immediate means of fire suppression, promoting the safety of students, faculty, and facilities.
