3. Environment
T
OTAL
P
AC
2
units shall be installed in a dry and clean
location. Verify that all equipment is properly heated and
protected to prevent freezing and physical damage.
The unit and it's components must be kept free of foreign
matter, freezing conditions, corrosive atmospheres,
contaminated water supplies, and any condition that could
impair its operation or damage the components.
The frequency of the inspections and maintenance will vary
depending on these environmental conditions. The owner is
responsible for maintaining the fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condition.
Refer to CONFIGURATION DESCRIPTION for
maintenance instructions.
4. General Description
There are various types of wet pipe systems, all of them
using closed automatic sprinklers in the sprinkler piping.
This
T
OTAL
P
AC
2
integrated fire protection system by
FireFlex Systems Inc
. consists of a cycling wet pipe
system trim totally pre-assembled, pre-wired and factory
tested. All electrical and mechanical components of the
system are contained in one single unit.
The only connections required for installation are the
water supply inlet, water discharge outlet, main drain, and
the electrical detection and alarm connections. The
discharge outlet is connected to a fixed piping system of
automatic sprinklers. Water is the extinguishing agent.
Wet pipe systems are usually supervised. The
T
OTAL
P
AC
2
system is completely supervised in order to
monitor its integrity. The sprinkler piping is supervised by
the water. If there is a leak on the system or if a sprinkler
head is accidentally broken, an audible signal will sound.
Electrical detectors and associated wiring are also
supervised.
The most common applications are any structure not
subject to freezing, to automatically protect the structure,
contents and/or personnel from loss due to fire. The
structure must be substantial enough to support the
piping system filled with water.
Using water as the extinguishing agent, one wet pipe
system can cover as much as 52,000 square feet in a
single fire area. Small unheated areas of a building may
be protected by a wet system if an antifreeze-loop or
auxiliary dry system is installed. For rules and limitations,
see appropriate codes and standards.
Systems should be designed by qualified fire-protection
engineers in conjunction with the appropriate Authority
Having Jurisdiction.
