The pre action system activates and fills the fire sprinkler pipes with water and sprays the water from the fire sprinkler heads.

If any air pressure is lost in the pre action fire sprinkler system a trouble alarm generally alerts you of the issues.

Double Interlock Pre Action Fire Sprinkler Systems

Double interlock pre action fire sprinkler systems generally are activated by a heat detector, smoke detector, or fire alarm.

If any air pressure is lost in the pre action fire sprinkler system a trouble alarm generally alerts you of the issues. The main difference is that all fire sprinkler heads remain open similar to a deluge fire sprinkler system.
