Mike Conneely from Greenside Design Build walks through the installation and key considerations of a residential fire sprinkler system in a custom home. He explains why these systems are becoming more common and highlights the code differences if pipes are concealed or exposed. Mike details how to prevent freezing in colder climates by boxing and insulating the pipes, especially in attics and other vulnerable areas. He also shows how the system connects to the home's water supply and discusses maintenance tips, including yearly draining. Finally, he notes that despite improving fire safety, sprinkler systems can sometimes raise homeowner insurance premiums due to potential water damage risks.
