How many PSI come out of fire sprinkler heads?
Depends on the available pressure If you have 60 PSI coming into a structure then you will get 60 PSI out of the sprinkler Just look at the "K" factoring for friction losses
Fire sprinkler heads gallons per minute?
100
Is it easy to relocate sprinklers to different areas of my lawn?
If you utilize an in-ground sprinkler system, relocating sprinklers will require you to tear up most of your lawn as you will need to reroute pipes and sprinkler heads. For above ground sprinkler systems, relocating sprinkler heads is fairly easy and is completely dependent on the length of your hose.

How many gpm does a commercial fire sprinkler put out?
There are many variables. The sprinkler heads come in different sizes. Rate of flow will be determined by the head-size, the frictional losses in the supply pipework, and the head of water available. In a single building example, sprinkler heads of exactly the same type, and fed by exactly the same bore pipework, on three different floors will give three different flow rates. Simple answer? "It varies"
What type of sprinkler head is typically found in open warehouses with high ceilings?
Upright heads
How do fire sprinkler systems put out fires?
Fire sprinklers have two major components that operate in response to a fire: the fire sprinkler heads which are connected via a series of pipes to a fire pumps. Water pressure is kept in the head by a series of valves in the pump. and is kept in the heads by little vials of colored liquid. During a fire, the liquid inside the sprinkler heads heats up and starts to expand, eventually causing the vial to burst. Water that was kept in the pipes pours out of the sprinkler heads. The water pouring out of the sprinkler heads causes the pressure in the fire pump to drop. In response, the pump kicks on and pumps more water from the municipal water supply to keep the sprinkler flowing. NOTE: this is how "wet pipe" fire sprinklers, the most common types of fire sprinklers, work. Other sprinklers (dry pipe, deluge and pre-action) are slightly different.
Automatic fire sprinkler system?
An automatic sprinkler system is a system in which sprinkler heads are fixed in piping system were pipe is fully filled with water or air under pressure and, at a certain calibrated temperature, sensing elements in sprinkler head breaks and allows water flow. Other types of systems rely upon electrical sensors (smoke and heat sensors, or manual switches) to initiate the flow or to pressurize the pipe so that sprinkler heads activated by the heat will flow water. Somewhat more rare systems, for extremely high hazards such as rubber tire storage in a warehouse, may have sprinkler heads that are always "open", allowing the entire room to be flooded when the pipe is pressurized.
Does it make sense to use two inch pipe in a home sprinkler system when water enters through a one inch meter?
You will not have any pressure after the first few sprinkler heads.
What kind of paint is used on fire sprinkler pipe?
you can use what ever kind of paint you want to
What will make your sprinkler heads shoot out further if they are not getting all the way to where they need to cover?
There should be some sort of adjustment screw on top of the sprinkler head, otherwise you can change out the nozzle.
