Anyone got any info on Fire sprinkler systems? I just had a two day training class at the jail where I work on how to shut them off and drain and replace heads.

I noticed they use "sprinkler" pipe. It looks like black pipe to me so whats different?

Are the threaded fittings different that plumbing or gas ones?

Any other general info would be nice.

And for those who wonder, yes sometimes inmates will break a sprinkler head.
