When colder temperatures are a factor dry pipe fire sprinklers are often installed to avoid freezing temperatures which may cause wet pipe sprinkler lines to burst or rupture. Costs to maintain and service may increase due to system complexity.

Pre action fire sprinklers are installed where an accidental flow of water from sprinkler heads would destroy property, appliances or inventory. Pre action sprinklers are generally void and remain dry of fire extinguishing agents such as water, foam concentrates, chemicals or gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) until the detectors and sensors are triggered from heat, a fire condition or explosion. This system is combines the ease of wet pipe fire sprinklers reaction times to fire events with the beauty of a dry pipe system void of water until times of emergency.

Pre action fire sprinklers are very complex and should be installed, maintained, serviced, tested and inspected by experienced fire sprinkler companies in Thousand Oaks.

Antifreeze fire sprinklers are designed for cold climates where ambient temperatures may drop below freezing causing water lines to rupture, burst or freeze. There have been many innovations by fire sprinkler manufacturers towards cold climate sprinkler systems to allow the use of water generally known as the most plentiful and cost affordable fire extinguishing agent available.

Antifreeze systems can be designed with water present in the lines and sprinkler heads with the addition of an antifreeze solution into the enclosed system.
