Fire Sprinkler Pipes

Product Overview

Baolai fire sprinkler pipes are core strategic products of Baolai Steel Group, specially designed for export to global fire protection markets. As a key component of fire suppression systems, these pipes are responsible for delivering water or other fire-suppressing agents to sprinkler heads inside buildings. They are engineered to be durable and reliable, capable of withstanding the pressure and temperature demands of fire suppression operations. With UL Listed and FM Approved certifications, and compliance with international installation standards such as NFPA, these pipes have become a trusted and preferred choice for fire protection projects around the world.

Product Series

Baolai fire sprinkler pipes are available in three main product series, each tailored to different application needs and budget requirements:

Epoxy-Coated Fire Sprinkler Pipes

This series features a powder epoxy coating with a thickness ranging from 100 to 300 micrometers, boasting a corrosion resistance rating of C3-High. The standard color is red epoxy (RAL 3000), which not only serves as a clear visual identifier for fire protection systems but also provides excellent protection against corrosion. Available lengths include 5.8 m, 6 m, 12 m, along with custom sizes to fit specific project requirements. End connection options include rolled grooves, cut grooves, threads, grooved joints, or beveled ends, ensuring compatibility with various installation setups. Manufactured to ASTM and UL standards, and holding FM/UL certifications, these pipes are ideal for projects requiring high corrosion resistance and long-term reliability.

Galvanized / Zinc-Coated Fire Sprinkler Pipes

Galvanized fire sprinkler pipes from Baolai have a zinc coating thickness of 30 to 100 micrometers, providing effective corrosion protection for a wide range of environments. They share the same length and end finish options as the epoxy-coated series, making them versatile for different installation scenarios. With FM/UL certifications, these pipes are suitable for all major types of fire suppression systems, including wet, dry, pre-action, and deluge systems. Their robust construction ensures they can handle the pressures and temperature changes associated with fire emergencies, making them a reliable choice for both commercial and industrial fire protection projects.

Painted Fire Sprinkler Pipes

Painted fire sprinkler pipes offer a cost-effective solution that combines corrosion protection with budget-friendly pricing. The painting thickness ranges from 20 to 200 microns, and available colors include Black, Red, and Blue, with customized color options also available to match project specifications. Standard lengths are 5.8M, 6M, 12M, with customized lengths available upon request. Pipe ends can be processed in various ways, including roll grooved, cut grooved, threaded, coupled, and beveled, ensuring easy integration into any fire suppression system. These pipes come in a wide range of sizes, making them suitable for diverse application scenarios, from small commercial buildings to large industrial facilities.

Compliance Standards

Baolai fire sprinkler pipes are manufactured in strict accordance with internationally recognized standards, ensuring their quality and reliability. The main compliance standards include ASTM A53, ASTM A795, ASTM A135, and others. For example, BAOLAI Sch10 fire sprinkler pipes comply with ASTM A135 Type E Grade A (for 1–10 NPS sizes) and ASTM A795 Type F Grade A (for 1¼–2½ NPS sizes). They are available with a black finish or hot-dip galvanized coating to meet FM/UL requirements, with a maximum working pressure of 300 psi, and are suitable for wet, dry, pre-action, and deluge systems. BAOLAI Sch40 fire sprinkler pipes, on the other hand, comply with a combination of standards, including ASTM A795 Type E Grade A (for 1–2 NPS sizes) and ASTM A53 Type E Grade B (for 2–8 NPS sizes), ensuring they meet the specific performance requirements of different project scales and system types.

Surface Treatment Options

Baolai offers a variety of surface treatment options for its fire protection pipes, each designed to meet different environmental and performance needs. These include painting, epoxy coating (FBE fusion-bonded epoxy), and hot-dip galvanizing. The red epoxy coating, in particular, stands out for its multiple benefits: it acts as a clear visual marker for fire systems, offers excellent environmental friendliness, strong chemical corrosion resistance, and effective microbial corrosion inhibition (MIC). This makes it ideal for installations in harsh environments where exposure to chemicals or microbial growth is a concern. Hot-dip galvanizing provides robust corrosion protection for outdoor or humid environments, while painting offers a cost-effective way to protect pipes and customize their appearance.
