17. • A FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM IS A NETWORK OF FIXED
WATER PIPES SUPPLIED BY WATER
• SOURCES WITH SPRINKLER HEADS FITTED AT
RECOMMENDED SPACING (FIG.1B). A TYPICAL FIRE
• SPRINKLER PIPING SYSTEM IS COMPOSED OF A WATER
PRESSURE TANK, PIPE RUNS, SPRINKLER
• HEADS, HANGERS, BRACES, AND RESTRAINERS.
PRESSURE TANKS PROVIDE THE NECESSARY PRESSURE
FIRE SYSTEM IN FALSE CEILING:
18. • TO SPRAY AN AREA IN THE EVENT OF FIRE OR SMOKE. PIPE RUNS
ARE COMPOSED OF: 1) RISERS:
• VERTICAL SUPPLY PIPES; 2) MAIN RUNS: PIPES THAT SUPPLY

STRAIGHT DROPS THAT SUPPLY
• SPRINKLER HEAD WATER. ALL THREADED ROD HANGERS CARRY
THE DEAD WEIGHT OF A PIPING

DISPLACEMENT MOVEMENT OF BRANCH LINES.
20. FITTINGS OF AC
• In case your home has a ducted
AC or a cassette AC then a false
ceiling is a must for your home.
The space between the true
ceiling and false ceiling is used
for installing the ducts,
condensate pipes and AC vents.
Note: For ducted ACs, there
must be provision for a trap
door so that the indoor unit of
the AC can be serviced easily
without disturbing or breaking
the false ceiling.
