SynC · Topic
These are the standards in the SynC Standards library that cover Wet Pipe Sprinklers. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide — ratings, materials, setpoints, and the standards each is verified against. All of it is free to read without an account and published under CC BY-SA 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Automatic wet-pipe fire sprinkler systems designed under NFPA 13 for commercial, institutional, industrial, high-rise, and multi-family residential buildings, together with the requirements common to every automatic sprinkler system that the dry-pipe and pre-action layers build on. Covers occupancy hazard classification, the design approach, design density and area, hose stream allowance and water supply duration, the water supply basis, pipe arrangement, the hanging and seismic bracing policy for sprinkler piping, sprinkler selection (type, thermal response, temperature rating, K-factor, finish, and corrosion resistance), flexible sprinkler connections, the wet-pipe riser, floor and zone control assemblies, alarm and supervisory provisions, freeze-exposed pockets on a wet system, acceptance testing, warranty, and the spare sprinkler cabinet.
