FIRE SPRINKLER COMPONENTS

Alarm Valve – disables the stop valve when the fire sprinkler system is activated, allowing for the flow of water into the sprinkler system.

Alarm Test Valve – allows you to test your fire sprinkler system at shut off conditions.

Escutcheon Plate – the small, round shield, often made of metal, around your fire sprinkler head.

Flow Switch – monitors the flow of water through different sections of pipe within the automatic fire sprinkler system. If the flow switches sense enough water flowing, they trigger the alarm.

Pressure Gauge – measures the pressure within the fire sprinkler system.

Pressure Switch –enables the fire sprinkler system to alert the fire department your fire sprinkler system is going off by watching for a fall in water pressure after the alarm valve.

Stop Valve – stops water from flowing from the city water supply into the fire sprinkler system if the fire sprinkler system is not going off.
