Dry Pipe Sprinkler System Air Pressure

A Dry Pipe Sprinkler System is a fire protection scheme in which compressed air or nitrogen gas is held in a system’s piping between the water supply and the sprinkler heads. When a fire occurs, the dry pipe system activates, allowing water to enter the pipe and spray the area with firefighting foam or mist – all at an air pressure of 7-10 PSI. This air pressure ensures that the water will be discharged evenly and powerfully enough to contain the blaze. With Dry Pipe Sprinkler Systems, businesses can ensure that their fire safety system will be as effective as possible.
