SPRINKLER SYSTEMS

A sprinkler system comprises three main components:

• A water supply, which may be the town mains in the street (if adequate in capability); a sectional water tank and pump set or similar self-contained water source.
• A means of controlling the supply of water into the sprinkler system, usually through sets of valves, a network of pipes, and individual zones.
• An array of sprinkler heads strategically placed throughout the protected area to the requirements of the relevant standard.
