How it works
Our fixed systems are constructed from copper pipe and brass sprinkler fittings and custom fitted around your house, providing reliable water coverage across all at-risk areas.
Our high-density water droplet sprinklers are positioned strategically around the exterior of your house, ensuring maximum protection and complete water coverage across all fire exposure sites. They function by soaking the surrounding area in water and targeting flying embers before they can come into contact with combustible materials around your home.
Water is typically fed via a petrol or diesel fire fighting pump to ensure optimal pressure and reliability. Water can also be drawn from existing water sources such as water tanks, dams and pools if required. In most cases, an underground ring main is installed to supply maximum water supply to all outlets, be it sprinkler heads or fire hose reels.
Custom Design
& Installation
We custom design your fixed bushfire sprinkler system to ensure all areas of concern around your home have adequate sprinkler coverage.
1. Consultation:
We’ll consider your water supply and storage, fire exposure sites, the volume of water needed, existing infrastructure, new equipment required and the property’s natural surroundings in our calculations. This ensures the system will run reliably at an optimum, even under the most extreme bushfire conditions.
2. Design:
We design the system to cover all potential bushfire exposure sites around the home, with sprinklers mounted in the most effective positions across gutters and ridge lines to ensure adequate roof and wall coverage.
Speak with us about the option for automating your fire system for a safer and smarter operation.
3. Installation:
We then commence the installation of your fixed system—this can be done during the construction of your home, or retrofitted discretely to avoid unwanted visibility of the system. Installation takes approximately 5 days, but can depend on the size of the home or building, location, unique property requirements, the type of water supply and roof slope.
Depending on the needs of your property, there are a range of petrol or diesel fire fighting pumps available. The size of your system will determine the pump size and associated costs.
Please Note:
Fixed bushfire sprinkler systems must comply with Australian Standards 3500 and be installed, maintained, and tested by a licensed plumbing practitioner. This system should be used only in addition to your local fire authority’s bushfire preparation and protection recommendations.
