Why not to use galvinized pipe in dry sprinkler systems?
Galvanized pipe is not recommended for dry sprinkler systems because it can corrode over time, particularly in dry environments where moisture is not present to create a protective layer. This corrosion can lead to pipe failure and system leaks, compromising the effectiveness of the fire protection system. Additionally, galvanized pipes can accumulate debris and sediment, which may obstruct water flow when the system is activated. Instead, materials like CPVC or other corrosion-resistant options are preferred for dry sprinkler systems.

Do you have to shunt trip a dry pipe sprinkler system in an elevator machine room?
Yes, a shunt trip is typically required for a dry pipe sprinkler system in an elevator machine room. This is to ensure that the system can operate effectively in the event of a fire, as the shunt trip will disconnect power to the elevator equipment when the sprinkler system is activated. This enhances safety by preventing the elevator from operating during a fire, which could endanger occupants and first responders. Always consult local codes and regulations for specific requirements.
