It is a calculated sprinkler system in which pipe sizes are selected on a pressure loss basis, to provide a prescribed water density (in gallons per minute, per square foot). or a prescribed minimum discharge, pressure, or flow, per sprinkler, with in a reasonable degree of uniformity, over a specified area. -As found in NFPA 13. -Harlow

What are the pros and cons of an underground sprinkler system?
An underground sprinkler system will help your yard to be always have a green and lush lawn and it provides a better convenince.In an underground sprinkler you can always keep track of how long you've watered the area.
When was the sprinkler system invented?
Inventors first began experimenting with automatic sprinklers around 1860. The first automatic sprinkler system was patented by Philip W. Pratt of Abington, MA, in 1872.
When did Elijah mccoy invent the lawn sprinkler?
It is not recorded when McCoy invented the lawn sprinkler. He also invented the folding ironing board and the self lubrication system.
Where could I research different types of sprinkler systems?
I need to add an irrigation system to my lawn. Where could I go to see different types of sprinkler systems that could fit my needs?
What is in the piping of a dry sprinkler system?
Normally it is filled with compressed air. A dry sprinkler system is used in areas exposed to temperatures that would freeze water. When a fire is sensed the soft metal link of a sprinkler head melts , releases the compressed air which in turn opens a valve to a fire main allowing the system to flood with water and extinguish the fire. Parking ramps in the northern US have dry systems, for example, because of the weather.
What is a sprinkler system for a house?
A sprinkler system is a device that waters your plants or grass
A sprinkler system with pipe selected based on a pressure loss base is a what?
A sprinkler system with pipe selected based on pressure loss is typically referred to as a "hydraulically designed" system. This approach ensures that water flow and pressure are adequate throughout the system to meet the required performance standards for effective fire suppression. The design considers factors like pipe diameter, length, fittings, and elevation changes to minimize pressure losses while ensuring optimal water distribution.
What is the purpose of a sprinkler head plug and how is it used in a sprinkler system?
A sprinkler head plug is used to block off a sprinkler head in a sprinkler system. It is typically used when a sprinkler head needs to be temporarily removed or replaced. The plug prevents water from flowing out of the system through the open hole where the sprinkler head would normally be.
Will you get a discount on homeowners insurance if you install a sprinkler system?
=== === If its a yard sprinkler, no. If its a fire sprinkler, yes.
How often should you replace freon in home sprinkler system?
There is no freon in a home sprinkler system.
What is the function of the sprinkler system control valve?
The function of the sprinkler system control valve is to regulate the flow of water to the sprinkler system, allowing for the system to be turned on and off as needed to water the designated area.
What is the purpose of a sprinkler system blowout adapter and how is it used to winterize a sprinkler system?
A sprinkler system blowout adapter is used to remove water from a sprinkler system to prevent freezing during winter. It is connected to an air compressor to blow out any remaining water in the system, ensuring that no water is left to freeze and potentially damage the pipes or sprinkler heads.
How does a sprinkler valve work to control the flow of water in a sprinkler system?
A sprinkler valve works by opening and closing to control the flow of water in a sprinkler system. When the valve is open, water is allowed to flow through the system and reach the sprinkler heads, which then spray water onto the desired area. When the valve is closed, water flow is stopped, preventing water from reaching the sprinkler heads. This allows for precise control over when and where water is distributed in the sprinkler system.
What is the purpose of the sprinkler system cap and how does it contribute to the overall functionality of the system?
The purpose of the sprinkler system cap is to cover and protect the sprinkler head from damage and debris. It helps maintain the integrity of the system by ensuring that the sprinkler head remains functional and can effectively distribute water in case of a fire emergency.
Where is the sprinkler irrigation system found?
Sprinkler irrigation is mostly found in farms.
What is the function of a control valve in a sprinkler system?
A control valve in a sprinkler system regulates the flow of water to the sprinkler heads, allowing for precise control over the distribution of water and ensuring efficient operation of the system.
What is the minimum sprinkler density for h-4 occupancy?
The minimum sprinkler density for H-4 occupancy, which typically includes high-hazard facilities like those storing flammable liquids, is generally 0.30 gallons per minute per square foot (gpm/ft²) over the most hydraulically demanding area. However, specific requirements can vary based on local codes and the design of the sprinkler system. Always consult the applicable building codes and standards, such as NFPA 13, for precise specifications.
