Mfr support isn't quite as smooth for Aydin as for us, Jay- he's in Turkey, with local support being a bit spotty. But Jay is right, the mfr should want to know why it let loose, and I'd be surprised if the Owner's insurance carrier (or the installing contractor's carrier) isn't looking to subrogate some water damage claim. I'd imagine that sort of "trickle-down economics' is universal; ACE, AON, AXA, etc.- all the acronyms want someone else to pay for it no matter where you are.
Probably swarf- that's as universal as Murphy, I suppose. glc -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jay Stough Sent: Friday, April 17, 2009 6:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Cause Analysis of Accidental Discharge of Fire Sprinklers We had one go off about a couple of years ago. I think it was the Grinnell version of Central's K25. I don't remember much about it, only that after we called the manufacturer, they had a site visit the next day and within a couple of days they were out there and replaced all the sprinklers. Call the manufacturer, they will definitely help find the cause. I have found that they want to find the cause as much if not more than us contractors, and for the most part will fix their mistakes quickly.

I have two questions: Q1 : Apart from the technical papers, does any one has a, - flow chart - check list for a systematic and analytical analysis of (root) cause(s)? Q2 : Is there a database where I can both report to and check whether there is a similar previous record or not? I'll appreciate any such experience... Rgds.
