Dry-type pendant sprinklers on a dry sprinkler system do not need to be installed on goosenecks. True or False?

Dry-type pendant sprinklers are designed to operate effectively in a dry sprinkler system where the pipes are not filled with water, which is a characteristic of such systems. Goosenecks, which are vertical curves in a pipe allowing for drainage or changes in elevation, typically accommodate wet systems where water may be present.

In the case of a dry sprinkler system, there is no necessity for goosenecks because the system relies on the release of pressurized air rather than water, and the installation of pendant sprinklers does not require the same considerations as wet systems. The design of dry-type pendant sprinklers permits them to be installed directly without the need for the additional height or drainage considerations that goosenecks provide. Thus, it is indeed accurate to state that dry-type pendant sprinklers do not need to be installed on goosenecks in a dry sprinkler system.
