Ed, Yes, sprinklers have been hit by objects in gymnasiums that have been kicked and thrown, both accidentally and intentionally. The resulting damage to wood floors is expensive. Head guards are one option; another is attempting to locate sprinklers as high as possible. Sprinklers below running tracks or other similar lower areas in the gymnasium are especially vulnerable.

I can visualize kids shooting basketballs at them. -- Ed Vining 4819 John Muir Rd Martinez CA 94553 925-228-879 _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
