Development of a lower-cost sprinkler system for domestic premises in the UK

Development of a lower-cost sprinkler system for domestic premises in the UK - London DCLG 2007 - Department for Communities and Local Government Fire Research Technical Report 2/2007 .

Describes a prototype sprinkler system which offers the potential to reduce fire deaths in UK dwellings at lower costs than those for traditional systems. The savings result from combining the domestic water and sprinkler pipe distribution networks which allows a reliance on town mains pressure and the exclusion of expensive maintenance equipment. Inherent in the system design is the upgrading of the water supply pipe to the house from the town main to 32mm pipe.
