Thanks Thom, but I would be much more concerned about the IT equipment that the sprinkler head if I had those kinds of temperature swings and I would still risk creep versus accidental broken glass. I think the risk of breaking a glass bulb is much greater than a fusible link tripping due to creep, no?

The temp really doesn't matter much when it comes to accidentally striking the head from the side. Get a beefy fusible link type. Pete Larrimer VA -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Duross Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 2:49 PM To: SprinklerForum Subject: Server Closet I was wondering if I could get recommendations of advice to give a client. Their IT guy is bugging them about a head we put in a server closet. It's just a 6' w x 3' deep closet with their rack and a little ductless ac unit. No raised floor, liebert or big ups equipment and certainly not sealed. I offered high temp head but they're scared about water (wata). Should I suggest total flooding inergen? Low temp rate of rise heat detector? I have to have an exhaust system installed with inergen, right? I think they'd have to enclose the closet to keep in the gas.
