Short answer: Fire protection systems use carbon and galvanized steel for sprinkler pipe, ductile iron and stainless for fittings and valves, stainless or coated steel for tanks, and galvanized steel for hangers, chosen for pressure rating, corrosion resistance and fire-code compliance.
At a Glance
Code and Reliability
Life-safety systems demand certified, pressure-rated metal, with the basis in our Metal Strength Comparison and the industrial context in our Oil and Gas Guide.
Pipe and Fittings
Sprinkler lines use carbon and galvanized steel, with fittings and valves in ductile iron and stainless, detailed in our Galvanized Steel Supplier and Stainless Steel Supplier; corrosion care is in our Corrosion Protection Guide.
Tanks and Welding
Water tanks use stainless or coated steel with sound welds, with joining in our Welding Joining Guide and structure in our Bridges and Infrastructure Guide; heat exposure is in our Heat Treatment Guide.
Standards and Sourcing
Fire grades follow UL, FM and EN rules, with checks in our Standards Comparison Guide; certification is in our Mill Test Certificate Guide and packing in our Export Packing Guide.
