Install fire sprinkler systems right the first time
Regulatory and compliance issues during fire sprinkler installation are a great deal harder to rectify. Use the specification tool and within minutes you’ll be equipped with a full complement of design requirements for your next fire sprinkler system installation project.
Read on for some key examples of regulatory guidance for a typical residential fire sprinkler system, then visit the specification tool page to get the guidance you need in moments.
Water supply specifications
Water supply conditions and requirements for residential fire protection sprinkler systems must be fully realised before installation of a fire sprinkler system can take place. The specification generator tool provides BS9251 guidance and suitable working practices to allow for compliant use of water supplies, including:
- Water supply classification
- Local water company guidance
- Water storage tank requirements
- Backflow prevention requirements
- Number of dwellings per supply
Specification of Fire Sprinkler Heads
Guidance on the various types of fire sprinkler heads available is also included within the standard BS9251. The specification tool provides quick access to this guidance to enable sprinkler heads to be selected, installed and operated in the most effective way possible.
- Fire sprinkler head requirements for residential protection
- Type of sprinkler heads required in dwellings
- Minimum operating pressure
- Fire sprinkler system location
- Area coverage
