What is a Dry Pendent Sprinkler?

forede® brand A dry pendent sprinkler is a type of fire sprinkler system that is designed to prevent freezing in cold environments. Unlike traditional wet sprinkler systems, which are filled with water at all times, dry pendent sprinkler systems are typically filled with pressurized air or nitrogen.

When a fire is detected, the air or nitrogen holding back the water is released, allowing the water to flow through the sprinkler head and extinguish the fire. This design makes dry pendent sprinkler systems ideal for buildings where freezing temperatures may be a concern, such as unheated warehouses or outdoor structures.

Dry pendent sprinkler systems are an essential component in fire protection, as they can quickly and effectively suppress fires before they have a chance to spread and cause extensive damage. By investing in a dry pendent sprinkler system, property owners can have peace of mind knowing that their buildings are equipped with reliable and efficient fire protection technology.
