What term represents visual coding for sprinkler types and functions?

• A. Color identification
• B. Concealed sprinklers
• C. Bulb-type sprinklers
• D. Water meters

Answer: (A)

Visual coding for sprinkler types and functions is called color identification. This system uses colors to quickly signal what kind of sprinkler is in place and, often, its temperature rating, so installers and inspectors can recognize the correct head or function at a glance. It’s about how the heads are marked, not about the physical design of the head itself or separate devices. The other options describe actual sprinkler types or components (concealed sprinklers are a design style, bulb-type refers to the triggering mechanism, and water meters measure flow) and don’t represent a coding system used to identify sprinkler types and functions.
