Fire Sprinkler Systems

PureFlow Fire Sprinkler Systems

Effective January 1, 2011, the International Residential Code (IRC) is mandating that all newly constructed homes have a fire sprinkler system. With the upcoming IRC mandate, Viega has come up with a cost-effective fire sprinkler solution that helps save lives.

New to the PureFlow line are PureFlow fire sprinkler fittings. These fittings, when paired with ViegaPEX Ultra tubing, can protect your home and your family from the threat of fires.

 

You already have the PureFlow PEX Press tools, and you are familiar with the lightweight, corrosion-resistant ViegaPEX Ultra tubing. So all you need are the specifically designed PureFlow fire sprinkler fittings. There is no question that Viega's fire sprinkler offering is affordable, but with NFPA 13D approval, the system is most importantly, reliable.

 

There is a common myth that home fire sprinkler systems are expensive to install and can cause more damage than needed. The truth is, the investment (which is a relatively small one) is worth it in the end. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) a home fire is reported every 90 seconds in the United States. The Fire Protection Research Foundation recently issued a Home Fire Sprinkler Cost Assessment report, which revealed that the cost of installing a home fire sprinkler averages $1.61 per square foot of new construction. That cost, which is comparable to installing a whirlpool bath seems small when you realize the $1.61 per square foot setback can save lives.
