The Residential Fire Sprinkler Design Process
Design considerations for residential fire sprinklers
The design of residential fire sprinkler systems can apply to everything from modest single-family homes to tall residential buildings. In most cases, we’ll need detailed room layouts, including a reflected ceiling plan. This becomes especially important if sprinkler heads need to align with ceiling features such as downlights, air recycling and heat recovery units, ceiling-mounted speakers, smoke detectors, or any other fittings.
FIRAS reviews design drawings as part of our third-party accreditation process, so we’ll also need to know if there are any ceiling projections that might affect placement.
File format requirements for design overlays
We normally require AutoCAD files to allow us to overlay our drawings during the design process. While it is sometimes possible to convert PDF files into AutoCAD, this isn’t always reliable or accurate enough for detailed design work.
Sprinkler layout and design output
To complete the design process, sprinkler heads are placed as symmetrically as possible while staying within design constraints. Once the layout is finalised, we use sprinkler design software to calculate pipe losses and produce a full system specification.
For every project, we provide the client with the full design, hydraulic calculations, and technical specifications. On larger projects, this may be issued as a formal technical submittal. The client is then invited to review and provide initial feedback before installation progresses.
