Fire sprinkler systems are increasingly used for life safety and property protection of all types of building, and are a reliable way to protect buildings from fire. Specifying a sprinkler system can pay for itself through architectural ‘trade-offs’, permitting larger compartments, fewer staircases, and reducing the need for fire doors. This seminar explains how sprinklers work and highlights some of the advantages of CPVC over steel and copper as a material for sprinkler piping.
