Pre-action Systems: Pre-action systems are dry-pipe systems in which the air in the piping may or may not be under pressure. When a fire occurs, a supplementary fire detecting device in the protected area is actuated. This opens a valve which permits water to flow into the piping system before a sprinkler is activated. Then there is no further delay when a sprinkler is subsequently opened by the heat of the fire. 8, record 1, English, - pre%2Daction%20automatic%20sprinkler%20system
