Sprinkler Systems – Wet vs. Dry and Which One You Need
Choosing the right sprinkler system can mean the difference between effective fire suppression and costly water damage.
Wet Pipe Systems
- How They Work: Pipes are always filled with water, ready to discharge instantly when a sprinkler head activates.
- Best For: Office buildings, hotels, schools, and other heated spaces.
- Advantages: Simple design, low maintenance, quick response.
Dry Pipe Systems
- How They Work: Pipes are filled with pressurized air or nitrogen; water enters only after activation.
- Best For: Unheated warehouses, parking garages, or refrigerated storage.
- Advantages: Prevents frozen pipes, reduces water damage in accidental discharges.
Other Options
- Pre-Action Systems: Require a separate detection signal before water is released—ideal for data centers or archives.
- Deluge Systems: Release large amounts of water instantly—used in high-hazard environments.
