Fire Sprinkler Systems and Design
The first sprinkler system was installed in 1874. While sprinkler spray pattern technology has evolved over the years, the basic fire sprinkler design has not changed. Fire sprinklers remain the most reliable and cost-effective measure to reduce or prevent loss of lives and property. In a typical wet system, each fire sprinkler activates independently limiting the number of operating sprinklers to only those near the fire. A properly designed sprinkler system can contain or extinguish a fire before the fire department arrives resulting in less overall damage from smoke, fire and Fire Department hand- held hose lines. Besides their life/property saving benefits, fire sprinkler design and installations can be an economic benefit by reductions in insurance premiums.
Refinements to the basic sprinkler have yielded several "application specific" versions and a selection of complimentary designs including semi-recessed and concealed models in a variety of finishes including custom colors (for concealed models). Davis-Ulmer is the fire sprinkler company who can provide consultation to help you select the right system, with the highest quality and value to suit your specific needs.
