You may not see it, but when there's a fire, copper can save your life!

Automatic fast response copper sprinkler systems are the most effective safeguard against loss of life and property from fires. These sprinkler systems are commonly installed in single family homes, apartments, commercial buildings, and industrial plants.

Copper sprinkler systems have significant advantages over alternatives made from steel or plastics. Copper is lightweight and compact. Fabrication and installation is easy, which is particularly beneficial in confined work areas. Copper systems can be economically soldered or brazed. Joining is easily accomplished with standard fittings or mechanical tee-pulling devices.

Since copper is ductile, tube bending and forming is easily accomplished. Modification and repair of the tube is simple. The corrosion resistance of copper provides superior flow characteristics and offers a neat appearance.
In terms of installed costs and material integrity, copper provides a low-maintenance sprinkler system with excellent economy.
