Residential Fire Sprinkler System
A FIREPEX® residential fire sprinkler system is designed to prevent flashover (total involvement of the fire) in the room of fire origin, where sprinklered, and to improve the chance for occupants to escape or be evacuated. FIREPEX fittings and RAUPEX® UV Shield pipe can be used to install these systems, sometimes in conjunction with plumbing systems. REHAU FIREPEX residential fire sprinkler system serves the requirements for fire sprinkler systems as defined by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 13D Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two- Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes and the International Residential Code Section (IRC) P2904.
- Installation speed with flexible RAUPEX pipe, EVERLOC+ and FIREPEX fittings
- Integrated mounting brackets with FIREPEX fittings
- Better freeze-break resistance with RAUPEX pipe.
- Pressure test immediately (no cure time)
- 25-year limited warranty
When the heat from a fire activates a fire sprinkler, pressurized water from the piping system is discharged.
Combining the flexibility of RAUPEX pipe and the security of EVERLOC+ fitting technology, our FIREPEX residential fire sprinkler system has all the same benefits as our installer-friendly PEXa plumbing system. The unique flexibility of PEXa pipe reduces the number of joints required compared to rigid piping systems, while also enabling the use of compression-sleeve fittings that provide superior flow and security compared to insert fittings. In addition, the FIREPEX fittings have an integrated mounting bracket that speeds installation.
FIREPEX is solely for use in fire sprinkler systems as defined by NFPA 13D and IRC P2904.
REHAU pipe and fittings are to be installed in accordance with this standard and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
