Installing intermediate temperature sprinklers seems like the most sensible approach, but you could not reinstall them elsewhere because they are now "used".

This process involves heating the room to over 130 degrees. My instructions were to remove the sprinklers and replace with nipple/caps until the next day when the sprinklers could be replaced. I know in many cases the heating equipment is truck mounted and the heating ducts are stretched into the unit to be treated. In this case, the heater/blowers were all portable units. In retrospect, with all of these appliances in this unprotected space in an occupied wing of this hotel, this was a catastrophe waiting to happen. 1) Could I have replaced the 155* heads with intermediate temp heads? 2) Could I reuse these heads for the next bedbug job? _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
