How To Stop A Fire Sprinkler

A fire sprinkler system is a great added piece of security that can protect your family and home. If a fire starts, the system will respond quickly and put out the threat. To stop a fire sprinkler when it is going, a simple method is all you will need. Just make sure that you have access to your sprinkler system's water valve, which you should be able to find if you call the company that installed the system.

Step 1

Get a phone and the number of your sprinkler system's installation company.

Step 2

The company will tell you the location of the water valve that controls the sprinkler system in your home or business.

Step 3

Find that valve and turn it clockwise until it the sprinkler system turns off.

Step 1

Go outside your house, where you would hook up a hose.

Step 2

On or near the same location where you would hook up your hose, there should be another valve. It is circular, usually red, and has holes in the knob.

Step 3

Turn this valve clockwise to shut off the main water supply in the house until you can reach your sprinkler system manufacturer to learn the location of the sprinkler system valve.

Step 4

Once you can find and turn off the sprinkler system valve, turn the water supply to your home back on.
