Residential Sprinklers
A residential sprinkler is a quick response sprinkler designed to operate in the first minutes of a fire in houses and flats, limiting room temperature and smoke so occupants gain time to escape. It also throws water high onto the walls.
It is used in homes, dormitories, care homes and hotel rooms, with pendent, sidewall and concealed types. Residential sprinklers are listed to their own approval standard and are not the same product as standard quick response sprinklers.
Main Applications
- Detached houses and villas
- Apartments
- Student dormitories
- Care and nursing homes
- Hotel and guesthouse rooms
