Fire Sprinklers Sloped Roof

The roof saver sprinkler kit is an exterior fire prevention system designed to wet roofs gutters decks surrounding trees and shrubs making these fuels less susceptible to ignition.

Fire sprinklers sloped roof.

When rooftop sprinklers are activated they spray water high up in the air which lands on the roof trees and other surfaces that are within range. With threaded connections that fit any standard 3 4 hose this hose can be installed within 15 minutes and if needed can be connected to additional sprinklers for larger homes. 50 foot diameter spray per sprinkler providing over 1200 sq ft of coverage per set. Deploy on the roof of a structure and around the perimeter of a structure for complete fire protection coverage.

Our roof sprinkler systems have been designed specifically for structural perimeter protection from urban interface wildland fires features include. For the 33 degree roof inclination equivalent to an 8 in 12 roof slope the water flux on top of the fire source is reduced by 50 with parallel to the ceiling deflector compared to the horizontal case. On a hot summer day it will even provide natural cooling no need for an air conditioning system. Here is a quick summary of the minimum pipe slope requirements for fire sprinkler systems.

A rooftop sprinkler system is not just for fire protection. Because it is designed to provide gentle water distribution over a large area it is a perfect means of keeping your landscape green and lush. This soaking of the roof and landscape also releases moisture into the air lowering ambient temperatures and increasing humidity levels. Pipe slope is a critical element in reducing water collection following a sprinkler system drain.

In the event of a fire a sloped ceiling may alter ceiling smoke transport dynamics from those expected along a conventional flat ceiling. Sprinkleroof is made of high quality brass iron and zinc and can be adjusted to fit the pitch of any roof. Sidewall sprinklers are required to have the deflector aligned parallel to ceiling or roof slopes nfpa 13 2002 2016 editions section 8 7 4 2 and where the slope exceeds 2 in 12 the sprinkler must be located at the high point of the slope and be positioned downward nfpa 13 2002 2016 editions section 8 7 4 2 2. Additionally as with all slopes the sprinkler coverage is measured along the slope not in floor area nfpa 13 2002 2016 editions section 8 7 3 1 2.

The sloped ceiling may also alter sprinkler spray patterns depending. The modified transport dynamics may affect sprinkler activation times.
