Common types of automatic sprinklers:

Levitt-Safety services all types of sprinkler systems including wet, dry, deluge and pre-action.

The four most common types of automatic fire sprinkler systems are:

1. Wet-Pipe System: Most common type of sprinklers. This system constantly has water in it for a quick response to fire.
2. Pre-Action System: Used in sensitive areas like data centres. Only releases water into the protected area when it detects physical and electrical smoke/heat. This prevents water damage from an accidental discharge.
3. Dry-Pipe System: Used in areas with low temperatures so pipes do not freeze. The pipe contains pressurized air to cause a small delay in water discharge.
4. Deluge System: Used in areas where a quick flash out is possible. Has open heads that can be used when a hazard is present. Needs a smoke or heat detector.

Fire sprinkler maintenance schedule:

• Check dry pipe valve rooms or enclosure systems.
