Wet pipe systems
A wet pipe sprinkler system is a commonly used fire protection system where water is kept continuously pressurized inside the pipes. When a fire occurs and reaches a sprinkler head, the heat causes the sprinkler to activate, releasing water immediately to extinguish or control the fire. This system is reliable and quick-acting, making it effective for safeguarding buildings. Because water is always in the pipes, it is ideal for environments where rapid response is needed, though it requires frequent maintenance to prevent pipe corrosion or leaks.
