Fire Sprinkler Helpful Tips:
Tip 1:
When replacing cover plates it is important to purchase replacements from the same manufacturer as the fire sprinkler. Each manufacturer's plate is a little different in size, color, and so on. The manufacturer and temperature of a cover plate is printed on the base of the plate. To view this information, remove the cover plate. Most cover plates are either twist off or pull off.
Tip 2:
Any modifications or replacements to a fire sprinkler system should be performed by qualified professionals.
Tip 3:
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines state that spare fire sprinkler heads and a wrench should be accessible at all times in a facility with a commercial fire sprinkler system installed. Often, state regulations also apply. Check with your local fire department.
Tip 4:
All fire sprinkler systems should be visually inspected (often) and professionally inspected (annually).
