Fire Protection is extremely important to keep lives and properties safe at all times. At Eclipse Fire Sprinklers, we design and build different fire sprinkler protection systems that function differently but offer fit the highest level of protection for different buildings.
Our technicians and specialists are experts in building Stand-alone fire sprinkler systems, flow-through systems, and single head systems.
- Stand-alone fire sprinkler system:
A stand-alone system is a type of sprinkler system where the above ground piping serves only fire sprinklers.
A stand-alone fire sprinkler system is designed to automatically detect and suppress fires in a building or structure. It consists of a network of pipes and sprinkler heads that are installed throughout the building, and a water supply system that is used to activate the sprinkler heads in the event of a fire.
The functionality of a stand-alone fire sprinkler system is based on the principle of heat detection. When the temperature in the building rises to a certain level, the heat-sensitive element in the sprinkler head will activate, causing the head to open and release water onto the fire. The water is released in a specific pattern and coverage area, which is designed to extinguish the fire and prevent it from spreading.
The flow-through system is the most recommended fire suppression and protection sprinkler system for residential building. In fact, builders, contractors, and homeowners are advised to use this system because it is connected to the main water system and refills itself after every use.
The flow-through system carries water through an overhead indoor piping that reaches every room. Because it is free-flowing, no dead-heads sprinklers exist and backflow hazard is reduced.
Our team of specialists and engineers are well versed in equipping homeowners, and contractors with NFPA 13D systems that protect lives and assets. We offer advisory services to help contractors and builders choose and install the right sprinkler systems for their properties.
- Booster pump installation:
A booster pump is a device that increases low water pressure and flow. It provides the extra boost needed to bring your water pressure to the desired level. A water booster pump provides pressure to move water from a storage tank or throughout a whole house or commercial facility.
At Eclipse Fire Sprinklers, we understand the risk of ineffective fire protection systems. This is why we offer booster pump installation, as well as pump and tank systems, to ensure that your fire sprinkler systems functions effectively at all times.
- Backflow preventer installation for the Fire Sprinkler System
Fire Backflow Preventers stop water from flowing back into your system. This works by ensuring that water only flows in one direction every time. Changes in pressure will not affect a backflow prevention device. That way, you can keep your water supply safe from backflow and contamination.
Backflow preventers are necessary when installing your fire protection system because they prevent potential cross-contamination that can occur when water from the fire sprinkler system flows backward into the water main. This can carry potentially hazardous contaminants into the drinking water supply.
At Eclipse Fire Sprinklers, our team is experienced in installing backflow preventer systems for homes and buildings in and around Seattle. We also offer our services to new construction projects, remodels, additions, repairs, and retrofits to fit your upgrades.
