Operation of a Sprinkler Head
Sprinkler Head Operation
Residential and Domestic sprinkler systems operate during the initial stages of a fire and are designed to provide time for egress and prevent flashover.
The sprinkler is activated when the heat from the fire raises the temperature of the head to a point where the element will activate and allow water to pass through the fitting. The sprinkler system should be installed in conjunction with smoke alarms which will activate to provide early warning to the occupants.
Asset Maintenance Australia carried out more than 1,500 upgrading to public housing buildings. The quality of workmanship far exceeded most of their competitors and they only used fire compliant products and components which were installed to the manufacturers specifications. As a fire engineer this made my job very easy during inspections. I have no hesitation in recommending Asset Maintenance Australia for any passive fire upgrading or maintenance work you may have on your building.
