All four listed options – Wet pipe, Pre-action, Dry pipe, and Deluge – are standard and recognized types of fire sprinkler systems used in fire protection engineering.

Fire sprinkler systems vary in design and application based on the type of hazard and environmental conditions (e.g., freezing risk). The main types are Wet pipe, Dry pipe, Pre-action, and Deluge systems.

Wet pipe systems are the most common, with water constantly in the pipes. Dry pipe systems are used where freezing is a risk, with air or nitrogen in the pipes until a sprinkler activates. Pre-action systems require two events to trigger water flow (e.g., smoke detection plus sprinkler activation). Deluge systems discharge water simultaneously through all open sprinklers or nozzles, typically used for high-hazard areas.
