We also have extensive experience with NFPA-13-compliant sprinkler design for challenging spaces, such as warehouses and hangars. There are four core categories of commercial fire sprinkler systems: wet, dry, pre-action, and deluge.
- Wet-pipe systems are the traditional approach and have water in them at all times.
- Dry pipes are an option for unconditioned spaces where wet pipes may be prone to freezing.
- Pre-action systems are a more advanced form of sprinkler system and typically combine both wet and dry pipes as needed. They have a two-step activation process, including opening each sprinkler head individually. That approach avoids unnecessary water damage.
- A deluge system opens all of its sprinklers at once for the maximum release of water or foam. This approach is effective in large, open areas where fires can spread quickly and get out of control. A large parking garage is an example of where a deluge system can be effective.

There are four main categories of commercial fire sprinkler systems: wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, and deluge. The main difference between a wet and dry pipe system is whether there’s water present in the pipe at all times.
