Dry Pipe Sprinkler System:
Heat produced from a fire melts the fusible link or glass bulb on a single sprinkler
head, or group of sprinkler heads, causing the sprinkler(s) to open. The air is then
exhausted from the dry system piping allowing water to enter the system piping
and is then discharged from for the open sprinkler head(s) to extinguish the fire.
The Fire Department may supplement the system by positioning a Fire
Department pumper truck between a fire hydrant and the fire department
connection. The sprinkler system water flow switch will activate upon system
flow and indicates an alarm condition by sounding an electrical alarm bell located
on the exterior of the building. The sprinkler(s) will continue to flow water until
the water control valve is manually closed.

A water flow switch is located on the wet system riser and will indicate water
flow by sending a signal to the local alarm panel and activate the electric alarm
bell. An alarm pressure switch is located on the dry system riser and will indicate
water flow by sending a signal to the local alarm panel and activate the electric
alarm bell. Quick response sprinklers are being utilized throughout the building
areas. New pipe and fittings in these areas will consist of black steel & galvanized
pipe and cast iron, grooved, and/or threaded fittings.
The Fire Department Connection is located in the front of the building
immediately outside of the riser room, and meets all requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction, including size, type, location, and thread type.
System design criteria is based on Light Hazard Occupancy (Ordinary hazard
occupancies in Boiler Room, Fan Rooms, and Storage Rooms) and suitable for
office space or other Light Hazard use as defined by NFPA -13. Wet and dry
sprinkler systems are calculated to provide a density of .10 gpm per square foot
over the hydraulic remote areas with an additional 100 gpm outside hose
allowance added to the sprinkler demand
FIRE ALARMS:

(1.b ) SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
FIRE SPRINKLER
Wet Pipe Sprinkler System:
Heat produced from a fire melts the fusible link or glass bulb on a single sprinkler
head, or group of sprinkler heads, causing the sprinkler(s) to open. The water
from the water filled pipe is discharged immediately from the sprinkler head(s) to
extinguish the fire. The Fire Department may supplement the system by
positioning a Fire Department pumper truck between a fire hydrant and the fire
department connection. The sprinkler system water flow switch will activate upon
system flow and indicates an alarm condition by sounding an electrical alarm bell
located on the exterior of the building. The sprinkler(s) will continue to flow
water until the water control valve is manually closed.
