ring line

A ring line in firefighting is a term used to describe a particular layout of fire protection piping within a building or facility. It's a type of piping arrangement designed to provide water distribution for fire suppression purposes. In a ring line system, the piping is typically arranged in a circular or loop configuration, encircling the protected area or building. This layout ensures redundancy and even water distribution throughout the protected space. Here are some key points about ring line systems. The piping forms a continuous loop around the perimeter of the area being protected. This loop ensures that water can flow in either direction around the ring, providing coverage to all areas. Ring lines often incorporate multiple feed points or connections to water supplies. This redundancy ensures that if one section of the ring is compromised or damaged, water can still flow from other parts of the loop.
