Wet Pipe
Water Based Extinguishing Systems

In the most commonly used wet pipe extinguishing systems, fire response occurs faster than other alternatives. Water pressurized by the fire pump is ready in all installation pipes up to the discharge headers.

In these systems where closed-end sprinklers are used, sprinkler heads are opened as the fire increases the ambient temperature. Ambient temperature in the areas where this system is installed; It must be above +4°C and below the boiling point of water.

Main Application Areas:

  • Offices, Production Areas, Warehouses, Cable Galleries
  • Buildings for Gathering Purposes, High-Rise Buildings

Dry Pipe
Water Based Extinguishing Systems

Dry Pipe
Water Based Extinguishing Systems

The definition of dry pipe means that there is no pressurized water in the system. This application has been developed for use in cold volumes or partially closed volumes.

Dehumidified air or nitrogen is kept under pressure in the installation. If any sprinkler is activated by rising heat, compressed air is first released from the sprinkler heads. Then the water reaches the fire point. It is generally preferred at points where the ambient temperature is lower than +4°C.

Main Application Areas:

  • Loading Ramps, Cold Storages
  • Production Areas, Unheated Volumes

Dominant Type
Water Based Extinguishing Systems

Dominant Type
Water Based Extinguishing Systems

Open-ended sprinklers or nozzles are used in these systems where there is no pressurized fluid or gas in the installation. The need for this system; It arose from the need to intervene quickly in points where fire risk and speed are high.

In these systems, where local and regional applications are made, extinguishing water or water-foam mixture is applied to a certain point at high flow rate and pressure. In these systems, a special fire detection system is required for activation. The system can be triggered electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically.

Main Application Areas:

  • Storage Tanks, Transformers, Cable Galleries
  • Chemical Production Areas, Loading Ramps

Residential & Commercial Building Sprinklers

These sprinkler heads, which have a wide range of color and throw distance options, can be supplied with custom-colored caps. Concealed type, horizontal type extended protection sprinklers are used in this class.

Dry Type Sprinkler

If sprinkler heads maintain a cold volume in wet pipe fire extinguishing systems, dry type sprinklers containing air are used to eliminate the risk of freezing.

Special Application sprinklers

There are hoods developed for use in corrosive environments, wooden roof areas and special industrial conditions. This sprinkler is preferred in environments with heavy working conditions.

Opening and Closing Valves

Cut-Off Valves

It is used to safely close and open the line in cases of maintenance, revision, malfunction and leakage.

Butterfly Valves

In these valves, the open and closed status can be monitored, the valve flap is controlled with the help of a spindle. Bronze, stainless and cast material options are available. It has a pressure resistance of 300 psi in the diameter range of 1”-8”.

National Valves (OSY & NRS)

In these valves, the valve allows full flow flow. Due to its large size, it is used in large or outdoor environments. It has a diameter range of 2”-12” and a resistance of 300psi. An additional monitoring switch is used for valve status monitoring.

Ball Valves

These valves, generally used as threaded type, are offered in the range of 1”-4”. There are brass or stainless material options. It can also be used as an interconnection element and drainage valve in fire installations.

Fire Installation Valves

Auxiliary Valves

Equipment used to protect and test fire installations and construct the sprinkler system.

Pressure Reducing Valve

The diaphragm pressure regulation valve, offered in 1-1/2” and 6” ranges, is used to prevent the water pressurized by the fire pump from damaging the installation or to balance the desired pressure at the point where it is placed.

Check Valves

Check valves, which have swing or flap models, are used to prevent pressurized water from damaging the equipment and to determine which direction the flow will be. It has different body materials, connection options and diameters ranging from 1”-12”.

Test Valves

Test valves produced for testing installed sprinkler systems without being activated by heat have an opening of the same value as the sprinkler orifice. The systems are checked while this valve is brought to the test opening. In maintenance mode, it ensures the discharge of water in the installation.

Fire Hydrant & Cabinets

Manual Equipment

Complementary products used in response to small fires and for emergency response teams.

Fire Cabinets

Fire cabinets used to intervene in small and medium-sized fires inside buildings are offered with 1” rubber hose or 2” flat hose options. Fire cabinets can be prepared with glass, sheet metal and different surface coverings.

Fire Hydrants

Fire hydrants, which are used for the intervention of fires that may occur in the external environment of the business and for the intervention of fire crews in the fires inside the building, have two alternatives: underground and above ground.

New Technology in Water Extinguishing

Water Mist Fire Extinguishing Systems

Compared to classical water extinguishing systems, these systems, which separate water from smaller particles with special spray heads, have started a new era in firefighting. Water mist fire extinguishing systems, developed as an alternative to classical sprinkler systems, are rapidly becoming more widespread and their usage areas are expanding day by day. The basis of the system is to pulverize water particles and turn them into very small diameter water particles. Thus, the same amount of water has a higher surface area and absorbs the heat in the environment more efficiently. The water that turns into fog evaporates around the burning surface and forms a barrier. In this way, the contact of the burning surface with oxygen is interrupted and three-dimensional protection is provided.

Water Mist System Types:

  • High Pressure: In these systems, water pressurization is provided by special pumps or cylinders containing pressurized gas. Water requirement is 90-95% less than conventional sprinkler systems. It is generally used in generator, turbine machine rooms and libraries. It is applied using special stainless pipe and fitting materials that are resistant to high pressure. Activation of the system is usually provided by a conventional extinguishing panel.
  • Low Pressure: Low-pressure water mist systems, which are widely used, can be integrated into the existing sprinkler system installation or can be used compactly with a special fire pump and water tank. It can be installed with smaller diameter pipes than conventional sprinkler systems and eliminates water damage. It is certified and approved in areas such as hotels, data centers, museums, historical buildings, hospitals, cable tunnels, archives, libraries, offices and shopping stores.

  • Special Applications: Water mist is a safe alternative for the safety of devices that carry out precision production in closed areas, such as CNC work machines. Protection is provided by nozzles placed at fire-prone points on the device and a conventional fire detection system. Plumbing pipe diameters are low. A homogeneous protection is provided within the device. Unlike the CO2 system, it does not harm human health.
