Sprinkler and Hydrant Systems: Design and Maintenance Basics
Water-based fire protection is only effective when designed and maintained correctly.
Infivate Infraventures Team 1 min read
System types
Wet sprinklers suit most occupied spaces; hydrants and hose reels give firefighters water supply; special systems protect specific hazards.
Critical components
- Fire water tank sized to standards
- Main, standby and jockey pumps
- Alarm valves and flow switches
- Correct sprinkler heads for hazard class
Maintenance
Pump run tests, valve checks and flushing must be recorded. A pump that fails to start defeats the entire system.
Documentation
Maintain as-built drawings and test records for fire audits.
