SINGLE INTERLOCK SYSTEM
34
A type of preaction system where the operation is of detection devices AND automatic sprinklers
DOUBLE INTERLOCK SYSTEM
35
Type of sprinkler system similar to pre-action system but the biggest difference is that it uses **open sprinklers** or nozzles. Instead of getting water flow from individual heads that have operated, once water fills the system, water will flow from every sprinkler head
