Applications for automatic sprinkler control valve signage

This sign is suited for industrial, commercial, institutional, and multi-residential buildings equipped with an automatic sprinkler system that includes an accessible control valve. It helps clearly distinguish that control point from other fire protection devices installed on a facade, in a mechanical room, or near a technical access point. It is especially useful when several valves, networks, or protected zones are present in the same building.
