Automatic sprinklers are one of the most effective and safe extinguishing systems on the market to protect individuals and buildings. However, a regular and complete inspection is necessary to ensure that all fire protection components are functional in the event of a disaster.
Operation of Automatic Sprinklers
Automatic sprinklers make it possible to detect and extinguish the start of a fire. Effective, they limit material damage in addition to saving lives.
There are several types of automatic sprinklers. Typically, they are triggered automatically when ambient heat reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) to pour water, air or foam onto the emerging blaze. The nozzle temperature may be higher if the normal ambient temperature is higher.
Sprinklers and all components of your fire protection system must be inspected and maintained regularly to be 100% efficient. Although an annual inspection is recommended, inspection intervals may vary depending on the equipment or the requirements of your insurer.
