Sprinkler Systems
Fire Sprinkler systems
Fuller Fire & Safety Equipment, Inc. installs, services, and inspects all types of fire sprinkler systems for your commercial structures, government projects, residential developments, healthcare, industrial, and manufacturing facilities. We offer new installations, system repairs, and inspection services. With modern technology and science advancing the design, we pride ourselves on walking you through the different types of sprinkler systems.
Our design and engineer technicians are NICET certified and use the latest release of AUTO CAD/AUTO SPRINK design software. Our software generates working drawings for fabrication and installation of fire protection suppression, alarm, and detection systems. Our design staff has the capability of using your electronic or paper format to create drawings for system installation and archives. All design work is done in accordance with requirements of the appropriate codes as issued by the National Fire Protection Association.
Sprinkler System Services
Sprinkler Systems Installation, Maintenance, and service
Fuller Fire and Safety Equipment, Inc. specializes in designing, installing, and maintaining fire sprinkler systems for all residential and commercial needs including government buildings, educational, healthcare, industrial buildings, and schools, and much more.
In order for your system to successfully function in an emergency you need proper installation, follow-up service and inspections. Fire Sprinkler Systems shall be inspected annually at a minimum frequency.
We also maintain close contact with equipment manufacturers to allow you to take advantage of the latest available technology, new equipment and installation techniques.
When a system requires service, we realize quick response is important. That’s why we maintain a large staff of specially trained service technicians who are on-call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Wet Pipe Fire Sprinkler Systems
Wet pipe systems are a type of fire sprinkler systems that have water consistently held in the sprinkler piping to allow for immediate discharge of water, and it is the most common type of fire sprinkler system.
Wet systems are very simple systems that have fewer components making them less likely to malfunction in the case of a fire, and also allows for a simpler installation and follow-up maintenance.
These types of systems however, are not conducive for sub-zero environments or areas that could be subject to high impact incidents.
Dry Pipe Fire Sprinkler Systems
Dry pipe sprinkler systems are a type of sprinkler systems that are filled with pressurized air or nitrogen instead of water. The air holds a dry pipe valve in a closed position, and it prevents water from entering the piping until a fire causes the sprinklers to operate.
Once the sprinklers are activated, the air escapes and the valve is opened up allowing water to flow freely through the pipes.
These types of systems are useful in potentially freezing environments such as commercial freezers, or unheated/uninsulated warehouses and attics.
Pre-Action Fire Sprinkler Systems
Pre-action fire sprinkler systems are similar to a dry pipe system in that they do not typically hold water in the piping. In a pre-action system, the water is held from the piping by an electronically operated valve, called a pre-action valve.
The operation of this valve is controlled by the detection of flame, smoke, or heat. Once the detection system detects a developing fire, it will open the pre-action valve, and water will flow into the piping and act as a wet pipe system. The sprinkler heads will then release and water is expelled onto the fire.
These types of sprinkler systems are often used in water sensitive areas such as art storage rooms, computer centers, libraries, and archival vaults due to the dual action that is required for water to be expelled- making inadvertent discharge less likely.
Water Deluge Systems
A deluge system consists of open sprinkler heads with pipes not pressurized with air. Deluge systems are connected to a water supply through a deluge valve that is opened by the operation of a smoke or heat detection system. The detection system is installed in the same area as the sprinklers.
When the detection system is activated water discharges through all of the sprinkler heads in the system.
A deluge system is used in places that are considered high-hazard areas such as power plants, aircraft hangars and chemical storage or processing facilities. Deluge systems are needed where high-velocity suppression is necessary to prevent fire spread.
