Source sentences:
text: The Hazen-Williams C factor is used to describe the amount of friction loss that is encountered when water flows through a pipe.
text: Water will run through a hose or pipe from the water source.
text: Depending on what type of alarm device your system has, either a water motor gong sounds the alarm or an electrical water flow switch is tripped when water is flowing through the pipe.
text: The deluge system requires a detection system to operate and signal the deluge valve, opening the valve and allowing water to flow through the piping and discharge through all of the sprinklers or nozzles simultaneously.
text: As it only detects the water flowing in the pipes, the waterflow switch doesn't turn on or off the water.
text: With the hose connected and the water turned on, push the pipe forward and back under the sidewalk to create the hole (Step 6).
text: When a fire activates the sprinkler heads, there is a drop in pressure that causes the water to flow into the pipes and out through the sprinkler heads.
text: It can also help prevent the system from damage when a fire happens and water rushes into the pipes.
text: In other words, you do not want the water to go through pipes inside the house walls to get to the irrigation system.
text: First, the innovative detection system identifies smoke or heat, which activates a pre-action valve that allows water to flow into piping and effectively creates a wet pipe sprinkler system.
text: A multi-use sprinkler system shares the home’s plumbing pipes; every time water is run anywhere in the home, fresh water moves through the pipes.
text: Once activated, the air escapes, the valve is released, and water then flows into the pipe and out through the open sprinklers.
text: The sprinkler heads work on a pressure system that when the water goes through the pipe, it pushes them up above the ground.
text: Water is not stored in the pipes and only travels through the pipes when the fire occurs.
text: Not only should the technician hear the valve trip, but the air gauge will jump from the trip pressure and increase as water flows into the piping.
text: Because water must travel from the valve to the piping and sprinklers, there can be a delay of up to 60 seconds in fire suppression.
text: When the system detects a fire, the deluge valve is automatically opened, thereby allowing water to rush from the supply, through the piping, and out of the open sprinkler heads.
text: Make sure water is properly flowing through pipes
text: On activation by a fire, the air leaks out of the pipes, causing the water to flow through the pipes to the sprinkler heads.
text: The combined dry pipe pre-action system requires two triggers before water is flowing through the pipes.
text: When a dry sprinkler system goes off, the pressure in the pipes drops, a valve opens, and water flows through the pipes and out to extinguish the fire.
text: There is a short delay as the valve is released and water flows through the pipes.
text: During a fire emergency, the sprinkler responds to the rapid rise in temperature and, aided by open valves, allows water to flow freely through the pipes towards the fire.
text: With a wet-pipe fire sprinkler system, water is constantly flowing through the pipes that connect to the sprinkler heads.
text: This sends water flowing from the valve, through the pipes, and out all of the fire sprinkler heads.
text: Makes sense since the water is running through the pipes out to the heads and if the pipe is fractured or a glue joint has come apart, the water is not properly delivered to the sprinkler heads.
text: so no water can flow through the pipe while you are working.
text: When an automatic sprinkler is exposed to enough heat, the valve opens and allows that air to escape, causing the pressure in the pipes to drop and allowing water to flow through the piping.
