Fire Sprinkler System For Your New Home
Planning fire protection is an obvious way to protect your family, your home and those irreplaceable possessions such as photos, videos, mementos, and heirlooms from the worst kind of catastrophe.The main job of an integrated fire sprinkler system is to stop small fires from spreading into infernos. Keeping fires localized and small is absolutely vital because the real danger to life from fires comes not from the heat or the flames, but from the fumes. The deadly fumes from a fire in one part of the house are able to overwhelm the occupants in their sleep before they have had the opportunity to escape.
So when a small fire is detected in a part of the house, and the fire sprinkler system is triggered in that room, it is not just trying to put the fire out - it is also wetting the surrounding area to make it less flammable. It can slow and stop the spread of the fire and prevent a small fire from turning into a large one. It will be easier to put out and there will be substantially less property damage than an uncontrolled inferno. It can help avert catastrophe, protect life and save your home.
When your fresh water plumbing is installed, it is quite simple to add a fire sprinkler system as part of the same system. Every time you use the faucet, fresh water is sent up the sprinkler lines to make sure that
the water is fresh and not stagnant. Sprinkler heads are installed above the ceilings, and then the water lines connected are connected as part of your new fresh water piping.
The pex tubing manufacturer, Uponor supports the contractors who install their systems with on-going training and design assistance. And they confidently back their products and the Uponor-trained installers with a 25-year warranty on the tubing
Of course, the sprinkler heads are sophisticated enough to make sure that they only discharge when absolutely necessary. They are activated by heat rather than smoke, and are rigorously engineered to ensure that they do not discharge accidentally - the odds of an accidental discharge are one in sixteen million.
The sprinkler systems are approved by the National Fire Prevention Association, and are barely noticeable, each sprinkler head can be recessed or concealed behind a special plate that falls away when activated. They come in a range of styles (including recessed, lo profile, or concealed) to blend right into your room.
The system conserves water — uses only 10 to 15 gallons of water per minute to control or extinguish a fire compared to 250 gallons a minute from a fire hose.
