Wet Sprinkler System
The sprinklers in these systems are attached to pipes containing pressurized water at all times. Individual sprinklers in the vicinity of a fire are set off by heat, allowing water to flow through them immediately.
Wet-pipe systems are used wherever temperatures are high enough to prevent freezing.
Water expands when it freezes, this causes water filled pipes to burst and become ineffective. Burst pipes decrease your fire suppression capabilities and can cause significant water damage.
Sometimes, an antifreeze solution or additive is added to certain pipes in a wet-pipe system to prevent freeze related damage.
