Heads are classified by:<\/p>\n<ul><li><strong>Response:<\/strong> standard response heads usually have a 5 mm bulb, quick response heads a 3 mm bulb. The difference is measured by the response time index (RTI). Since 1996, NFPA 13 has required quick response sprinklers in new light hazard systems.<\/li><li><strong>Orientation:<\/strong> upright, pendent, sidewall or concealed. Each head is installed only in its listed orientation.<\/li><li><strong>Temperature rating:<\/strong> chosen from the highest expected ceiling temperature and shown by the bulb colour.<\/li><\/ul>\n<div class=\"az-table-wrap\"><table><thead><tr><th>Bulb colour<\/th><th>Rating (\u00b0C)<\/th><th>Rating (\u00b0F)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Orange<\/td><td>57<\/td><td>135<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Red<\/td><td>68<\/td><td>155<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Yellow<\/td><td>79<\/td><td>175<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Green<\/td><td>93<\/td><td>200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Blue<\/td><td>141<\/td><td>286<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n<p>These values are from one major manufacturer&#8217;s datasheet (Tyco TFP356), shown as an example; always check the actual model&#8217;s datasheet. Each head also has a K-factor: flow equals K times the square root of pressure.<\/p>\n<h3>Pipework and hangers<\/h3>\n<p>Systems are usually steel pipe with threaded, grooved or welded joints, or other listed materials where the standard allows. Pipe sizes come from the hydraulic calculations; hangers must comply with the standard.<\/p>\n<h3>Alarm valve station<\/h3>\n<p>Each wet system starts at an alarm check valve: a check valve with trim including pressure gauges, a main drain and a pressure switch or water motor gong that signals water flow.<\/p>\n<h3>Control valves and supervisory switches<\/h3>\n<p>The supply is isolated by an OS&amp;Y gate valve, whose rising stem shows its position, or an indicating butterfly valve. NFPA 13 requires control valves to be supervised open, usually by a tamper switch wired to the fire alarm panel. Each floor or zone gets a flow switch with a test and drain valve, so the panel shows where water is flowing. Our <a href=\"\/en\/eg\/media-center\/fire-protection-valves-guide-egypt\/\">fire valves guide<\/a> covers these valves in detail.<\/p>\n<h3>Fire department connection and water supply<\/h3>\n<p>The fire department connection (FDC, or Siamese connection) lets fire engines pump into the system through a check valve. The main supply is usually a fire water tank and a fire pump set designed to NFPA 20; our <a href=\"\/en\/eg\/media-center\/fire-pump-selection-egypt\/\">fire pump selection<\/a> article explains how flow and pressure are set.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c459f68 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"

NFPA 13 links density and area to hazard class and adds hose allowances and a water supply duration. Take values from the adopted edition, not another project.<\/p>\n<h3>Hydraulic calculations<\/h3>\n<p>Calculations run from the most remote sprinkler back to the source, using the Hazen-Williams formula for friction loss plus elevation changes. The resulting flow and pressure are checked against the pump or network supply curve. A 2025 change: dry systems using vapour corrosion inhibitors or negative pressure systems may use a C-factor of 120 if installed and maintained to the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions.<\/p>\n<h3>Spacing and coverage<\/h3>\n<p>Maximum coverage per head, spacing and distance from walls depend on hazard class, sprinkler type and listing. Obstructions such as beams, ducts and cable trays must be checked.
