The wet standpipe system is a network of pipes connected into the building generally a high rise or multi-floor structure. The system allows fire hoses to be connected to each of the connections and to be used similar to a fire hydrant.

Atlanta Wet Pipe Fire Sprinkler System

The most common for residence and reliable source of fire protection through automatic fire sprinklers is the wet pipe fire sprinkler system. The wet pipe fire sprinkler system is relatively simple in its design and operation. Water is held under pressure in the fire sprinkler pipes, the automatic fire sprinkler heads when activated by a fire detector, fire alarm, or the heat sensing element located inside the fire sprinkler head (like a light bulb, will pop and activate the automatic fire sprinkler head) that allows the pressurized water to evacuate the fire sprinkler heads.



Water remains constantly within the pipes of a wet pipe fire sprinkler system, make sure the temperatures of the building or facility will not freeze or temperatures not to drop below 40 degrees. The wet pipe fire sprinkler system will get things wet in the event of a devastating fire, if you have precious valuables, or possessions that may be damaged when wet (Artwork) then you may consider a dry pipe, foam or combined fire protection system.
