Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method for providing an improved fire sprinkler is disclosed. A solenoid valve is provided that couples to a pipe system of the fire sprinkler system. The solenoid valve is operably associated with at least one of a heat detector such that the solenoid valve opens and water is permitted to flow through the solenoid valve and pipe system when a signal is received from the at least one of a heat detector and a smoke detector. The system may be activated by 24 volts direct current, which increases system reliability and dependability.
Claims10
A fire sprinkler system comprising:
- a pipe system;
- at least one of a heat detector and a smoke detector;
- and
- a solenoid valve coupled along the pipe system and operably associated with the at least one of a heat detector and the smoke detector, the solenoid valve being operable to permit water to flow therethrough upon receiving a signal from the at least one of a heat detector and a smoke detector.
An apparatus configured for use with a fire sprinkler system, the apparatus comprising:
- a solenoid valve being configured:
- to couple along a pipe system of the fire sprinkler system;
- and
- to be operably associated with at least one of a heat detector and a smoke detector, the solenoid valve being operable to permit water to flow therethrough upon receiving a signal from the at least one of a heat detector and a smoke detector.
A method comprising:
