Description

A fire hydrant is an active fire protection measure, and a source of water provided in most urban, suburban and rural areas with municipal water service to enable firefighters to tap into the municipal water supply to assist in extinguishing a fire. On the other hand, The alarm valve is an alarm device designed for installation in a sprinkler system. It is used to actuate a fire alarm when the flow of water from the sprinkler system exceeds that of a single sprinkler. When a sprinkler is in operation, the resulting water flow lowers the pressure in the sprinkler system. The greater water supply pressure then causes the alarm valve clapper to open. The seat ring-opening of the alarm valve allows the water to flow into the alarm line connection which will then operate the alarm gong.
