In less time than it takes the Fire Service to arrive, a FIRESTOP Sprinkler System will have put the fire out – in 90% of cases using only one sprinkler.

 

A sprinkler head uses a fraction of the water the Fire Service would use when they arrive and damage to the room is usually minimal compared to a room with no sprinklers.

 

Accidental operation of a sprinkler system is virtually impossible as the temperature at the ceiling must exceed 68 degrees centigrade before the sprinkler will trigger.

 

A typical sprinkler head consists of a plug held in place by a trigger mechanism, usually consisting of a glass ampule filled with glycerine-based liquid which expands when heated.

 

At a pre-determined temperature – usually 68 degrees centigrade – the expansion of the liquid breaks the tube, releasing a plug which controls the flow of water.

 

The plug is forced out by the pressure of the water, which flows over a deflector plate which sprays it in an even pattern over the area of the fire.
