While both are water-based, the design, discharge pattern, pressure and coverage area of Fire Hydrant are calculated for its specific hazard class and application, which can differ significantly from a standard light-hazard sprinkler layout.
Yes, in most cases. It requires a site survey to confirm water supply, pressure, pump capacity and pipe routing, after which the system can be designed and retrofitted with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
