What Is a Pre-Action Fire Sprinkler System?
A pre-action fire sprinkler system is a type of dry sprinkler system. Unlike other types of fire sprinklers, with the pre-action system, water isn’t contained in the pipes. Instead, this system requires a two-step activation before water is released.
The pre-action valve is activated when the system detects smoke, flames, or extreme heat. Once the pipes are filled with water, it is released when the heat activates an individual sprinkler head.
Why Choose a Pre-Action Fire Sprinkler System?
Pre-action fire sprinkler systems are popular in data centers and similar businesses because this type of fire suppression system prevents accidental discharge. While a wet pipe sprinkler system has pipes already filled with pressurized water, a dry sprinkler system requires activation before water fills the pipes. This is especially important for businesses with numerous electronics since an accidental discharge of the system can be costly.
There are other benefits to this type of system, including:
- Water damage prevention
- Leak and freeze protection
- Flexibility in when and how the system is activated
When you hire Contra Costa Fire Protection Inc., we’ll help you determine the right type of system and options for your home or business.
