Your safety is of the utmost importance. Therefore, your fire protection system must be able to perform if needed. All fire protection systems must be designed to meet stringent standards established by the Ohio Fire Code and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The NFPA codes most commonly applicable to sprinkler system design are NFPA 13, NFPA 20, and NFPA 25. The type of system required will be dictated by building construction, space utilization, and available water supply. Taking these factors into consideration, hydraulic calculations are required to determine system water flow necessary to meet the coverage requirements. Design drawings are developed for the type of system required.
Different types of sprinkler systems include:
· Wet pipe system
· Dry pipe system
· Anti-freeze system
· Deluge system
· Pre-action system
· ESFR system
· Fire pump system
· Dry agent system
The design drawings must be submitted to the authorities having jurisdiction for approval and permits.
All sprinkler systems require annual inspection and testing to ensure they are fully functional, should a fire break out. The frequency of the inspections are addressed in NFPA 25 and can be augmented by your insurance requirements. Our clients count on Diversified to perform system inspections and testing to verify and document system readiness.
