Sourced and supplied across Saudi Arabia
Sprinkler work is designed before it is bought, and the design standard chosen changes the bill of materials completely. NFPA 13 and EN 12845 both govern the design and installation of automatic sprinkler systems, but they classify hazards differently, and the European standard's more demanding classes generally drive larger water supplies and different zone sizes. Ordering heads and pipework before the hazard classification is fixed produces a system that cannot be signed off. State the design standard, the hazard class and whether the water supply has been proven.
The more of this you send, the closer the first quotation lands.
