Components of a Sprinkler System
- Underground brings water from the city mains to your buildings.
- Water is then sent through a backflow
- All Systems usually require an FDC or Fire Department Connection, to increase the water pressure during a fire
- Enters either the fire pump where it is pumped to a certain pressure or is released into the Riser
- Risers “rise” vertically through the floors to feed the Branch Lines
- Branch Lines then extend off the Risers and Mains horizontally to bring water to all the sprinkler heads
