Welcome to The USA Sprinkler Fitters Website

Welcome to the website for the USA Sprinkler Fitters. Our association is committed to the advancement of the Fire Sprinkler Industry. Sprinkler systems “Save Lives and Save Property” and for this reason, EVERY home and workplace should have a professionally installed sprinkler system by an affiliated contractor of the USA Sprinkler Fitters.

Our members are professionals who complete a certified 5-Year apprenticeship training program in their region. USA Sprinkler Fitter members undergo continuous education programs throughout their career to stay current on all new technology. Our members also undergo OSHA Safety Certifications which make us the safest in the industry.

The USA Sprinkler Fitters work with our national, state, and local legislators and Fire Service personnel to procure laws to protect you. We have been instrumental in laws being passed to protect our nation’s youth in dormitories and schools. We have also been a driving force in the implantation of laws to install sprinklers in bars and night clubs.

The fact remains, it’s only when a fire kills or destroys property that we as citizens think that a sprinkler system could have been a saving factor. The USA Sprinkler Fitters are proactive in protecting the public.

Learning about sprinkler systems starts with the nation’s youth and we’re committed to protecting our children. On our site you can download coloring books and other materials for your child and we’re a staunch supporter of Fire Prevention Week. Visit our Kids Corner today for more information on these programs.

Finally, we thank you for taking the time to read more about the necessity for a sprinkler system in your home and workplace.
