Residential Fire Sprinkler Riser

A look at the riser of a residential fire sprinkler system built to the NFPA 13D standard.

Please help me. How would I know if the sprinkled system is on or off in a riser room. It's a valve btw.

Kind of crazy to have a sprinkler system without any kind of flow switch and alarm.

[@hooperleblanc7246]

what why

[@ironmatic1]

@@hooperleblanc7246 Because it can activate, by fire or otherwise, without letting anyone know ?

[@hooperleblanc7246]

sprinklers suppress the fire at the source and make it way easier for fire fighters to traverse the building. Both fa or fs are sufficient forms of protection and have their pros and cons. People have burned to death in buildings that didn't have sprinklers. most customers can't afford both systems at once yet and have to decide on one or the other until the next system upgrade @@ironmatic1

Yes. Because the sprinkler spraying water everywhere obviously isn’t letting people know 🙄🤣

Every time i run the washing machine, it increases the pressure in the fire sprinkler gauge. We changed the gauge thinking may be faulty gauge but still the same. Any idea how is that possible?

If you break that red capsule on accident will it go off? Even there’s no fire?

[@hooperleblanc7246]

yes turn it off with floor control valve
