Introduction to Domestic Fire Sprinkler in the UK 2001.

Over 75 percent of UK dwellings now have at least one smoke alarm, making them the most recognizable fire safety feature in homes. Unfortunately they are under-regarded and about half of them no longer work due to missing or flat batteries! Fire sprinklers, on the other hand, provide a superior level of protection both for life, safety and property. Many people, however, do not know that they are available for installation in the home. If you have the recommended number of smoke alarms you increase your chances of surviving a fire by 47%. Sprinklers increase your chances to over 97%. The reason for this is that a quick response sprinkler will act before a fire can grow large enough to spread smoke and toxic products. Products such as Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Cyanide and Hydrogen Chloride. These and the heat of the gases are the things that kill people in fires. In nearly every case the activation of only one sprinkler is enough to handle a fire! These facts are taken from the Residential Sprinkler Association Ltd installation study module, for more information on the R.S.A www.firesprinklers.org.uk

There is a minimum standard on the design, installation and maintenance of residential and domestic fire sprinklers. This is based on the DD251 and 6700 British Standards. The fire sprinkler must be installed by an experienced, qualified designer and installer.

Principles of operation.

Residential and domestic sprinkler systems consist of a water supplied through 28mm and 22mm copper pipe to BS EN 1057. Fittings to BS EN 1254-1 using 23tin/copper alloy soft solder to EN 29453. A stop valve, a priority demand valve (in low supply mains), automatic alarm system (internal and external) and quick response flush ceiling sprinklers that are heat sensitive and effectively burst open when they get too hot.
