Sprinkler system is the simplest and most common type of fire sprinkler installation. This system employs automatic and closed type sprinkler heads, which are connected to a water-filled piping system. The sprinklers contain either a heat-responsive glass bulb or fusible element that prohibits water from dis-charging from the sprinkler’s orifice. The water is contained until such time as the heat from the fire activates the element, causing its release, allowing the water to discharge to the heat source.

Our systems are frequently installed in factories, warehouses, office buildings, retail stores, and residences where the potential for freezing does not exist.

Fire Sprinkler Systems are made up of a series of components including; Stop Valve, Alarm Valve, Fire Sprinkler (head), Alarm Test Valve and Motorized Alarm Bell (Gong).

There’s no doubt that our technology offers superior fire protection and our fire suppression systems can stop or minimize a potentially damaging fire before it does irreversible damage.

Steehold can design, furnish and install all types of fire sprinkler systems including wet pipe systems, pre-action systems and Antifreeze Sprinkler System as well as standpipe systems and fire pumps.

• Wet Pipe Sprinkler Systems: The most common type of sprinkler system. A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers attached to a piping system containing water. This piping system is connected to a water supply so that water discharges immediately from sprinklers opened by heat from a fire.
• Dry Pipe Sprinkler Systems: A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system containing air or nitrogen under pressure.
  The release of the air or nitrogen permits the water pressure to open a dry pipe valve, allowing the water to then flow into the piping system and out through the opened sprinklers.
• Pre-Action Systems: A sprinkler system employing closed sprinklers attached to a piping system that is connected to a water supply through a valve that is opened by the operation of a fire detection system installed in the same areas as the sprinklers. When this valve opens, water flows into the piping system and discharges out through the open sprinklers.
• Antifreeze Sprinkler System: A wet pipe sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that contains an antifreeze solution and that are connected to a water supply. The antifreeze solution is discharged, followed by water, immediately upon operation of sprinklers opened by heat from a fire.
