Is Your Walk-In Freezer a Fire Hazard?

A lot of restaurant owners and facility managers in Los Angeles and Orange County assume all fire sprinklers operate exactly the same way. But standard sprinkler systems hold water right up to the ceiling. If a standard head is installed inside a commercial walk-in freezer, the water inside the pipe will literally freeze solid.

Not only does this lead to cracked pipes that flood your freezer and destroy thousands of dollars in food inventory, but if a fire actually breaks out, the system is blocked by a block of ice and completely useless.

Commercial freezers require highly specific engineering, which is why we install what is called a "Dry Pendant." As shown in this field breakdown, these specialized heads use pressurized gas to keep the water safely outside the freezing zone until an actual emergency activates the system.
