Wet pipe sprinkler systems are the simplest and most common fire suppression method on the market today. They are comprised of pipes that constantly contain pressurized water. When an individual sprinkler in the system is activated by heat from fire, the automatic, closed-type sprinkler head immediately discharges water onto the fire. As more individual sprinkler heads are subsequently activated by heat, they too will discharge water onto the fire until it is controlled or extinguished.

Specifically designed for buildings susceptible to freezing, dry pipe sprinkler systems feature automatic and closed-type sprinkler heads connected to pipes filled with pressurized air or nitrogen. The compressed air holds a remote valve, known as a dry pipe valve, in a closed position to prevent water from entering the pipe. When heat activates one or more sprinklers, the compressed air in the pipe is released, and its pressure decreases, opening the dry pipe valve and allowing water to flow through open sprinklers.

Deluge fire sprinkler systems feature open-type sprinkler heads attached to a dry pipe that is connected to a main water supply. Using an innovative detection system that recognizes smoke or heat, this fire suppression installation activates a valve that releases water to all sprinklers.

Pre-action fire sprinkler systems employ the basic concept of a dry pipe fire sprinkler system in that water is not normally contained within the pipes. But rather holding water from piping via pressurized air or nitrogen, pre-action systems restrain water with an electrically operated valve, known as a pre-action valve.

Fast, efficient and adaptable to a wide range of hazards, carbon dioxide fire suppression systems protect a variety of commercial and industrial facilities. This system smothers protected areas with a heavy blanket of CO₂ to decrease the oxygen level so combustion cannot happen.American Fire Protection Group designs, installs and repairs CO2 systems for a variety of industrial and commercial industries, including power generation, metal production and processing, printing electronics/computer production, research facilities and marine systems.

An alternative to ozone-depleting Halon 1301 fire suppression systems, the FM-200 is among the industry’s leading clean gaseous agent fire suppression systems. Designed to extinguish combustible, flammable liquids and electrical fires in less than 10 seconds, it is the fastest fire protection available. This means less damage, lower repair costs, reduced downtime and, most importantly, added safety for personnel and property.

American Fire Protection Group provides a turnkey solution for foam/chemical fire suppression systems. This type of fire sprinkler system controls burning flammable liquids and natural gas using a mixture of foam and water. The foam-water mixture cools the fuel surface significantly. It also forms a blanket that prevents oxygen from getting to the fire and suppresses the release of flammable vapors that could ignite in the air.
