  A Deluge Fire Sprinkler System is somewhat similar to a Pre-Active Sprinkler System. However, this significant feature is what makes them different!  The sprinkler head of Deluge Systems is not sealed, and the pipe is not pressurized with air. The pipe is empty, and there is no pre-stored water in the piping network. Hence, these fire sprinklers are installed in areas where a considerable amount of water is already stored on the premises. The deluge fire sprinkler systems are connected with a deluge valve instead of water pipes. These deluge valves are smoke and heat reactive and are installed in the same position as traditional fire sprinklers. These valves act as the signal or a detection system to circulate water. The moment the detection system is activated — water is discharged through all of the sprinkler heads attached to the system. How is a Deluge System Set in Motion? The heads on the deluge fire sprinkler system are connected and release water at the same time. They all op

  In the category of wet-pipe fire sprinkler systems — there are two types of sprinkler heads: the Fusible Link and the Glass Bulb. Although both these fire sprinkler heads serve the same purpose and work almost similarly, there are still multiple points where these two differ. So, to determine whether which fire sprinkler head can better suit your requirements — we have explained the difference between both of these fire sprinkler heads in this article. So, keep on reading! Starting with Fusible Link Fire Sprinkler Head:  Fusible Link Fire Sprinkler Head A Fusible Link Sprinkler Head contains a heat-sensitive alloy covered with a two-part metal element — with a link holding the plug ready. When the temperature of the surrounding rises to a preset degree, the alloys melt — releasing the metal elements to separate and freeing the pip cap to dispense water (that is already pre-filled in the pipes). And, how does a Glass Bulb Fire Sprinkler Headwork? Glass Bulb Fire Sprinkler Head A Glass
