Overview

Marine Wet valve sprinkler systems comprise a lightweight control valve conventional pendent spray and upright spray sprinklers and a dedicated water supplies system. They are permanently charged with a primary water supply fed from a “fresh water” supply tank. The water supplies system can also draw unlimited amounts of “sea water” should the primary “fresh water” become exhausted.

In the event of a fire, the sprinkler located closest to the seat of the fire will operate when the temperature reaches a pre-determined level to discharge water and extinguish the fire.   The steady flow of water through the open sprinkler will actuate operate electric, and/or hydraulic fire alarms to alert the crew to the situation.
