1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
A. Dry-Pipe Sprinkler System: Automatic sprinklers are attached to piping containing air
and a dry pipe valve that holds the water back until a head releases. Once the head
releases, the valve trips and releases the water in to the system and through the fused
sprinkler heads. .Sprinklers open when heat melts fusible link or destroys frangible
device.
B. Wet-Pipe Sprinkler System: Automatic sprinklers are attached to piping containing
water and that is connected to water supply. Water discharges immediately from
sprinklers when they are opened. Sprinklers open when heat melts fusible link or
destroys frangible device. Hose connections are included if indicated.
