Wet, dry, pre-action, and deluge sprinkler systems — the backbone of water-based fire suppression, engineered to the building's hazard classification and water supply.

Applicable code basis — Tennessee

Building: 2018 IBC (statewide minimum)

Fire: 2018 IFC

State Fire Marshal sets a statewide minimum; local jurisdictions may adopt newer editions. Design in Knoxville is coordinated with the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

Wet Pipe

Water-filled piping; the most common and reliable system for heated spaces.

Dry Pipe

Air/nitrogen-pressurized piping for unheated or freezing environments.

Pre-Action

Water held back until a separate detection event; protects water-sensitive spaces.
