13-69 Log #298 AUT-SSI Final Action: Reject (6.2.1.1) ______________________________________________________________ Submitter: Thomas G. Wellen, American Fire Sprinkler Association, Inc. Comment on Proposal No: 13-69 Recommendation: Revise text to read as follows: 6.2.1.1* An existing sprinkler removed for internal pipe inspection as required by NFPA 25 shall be allowed to be reinstalled in the same outlet as long as the sprinkler has not been damaged by the removal or reinstallation process. 6.2.1.2* An existing sprinkler removed from a pipe drop to drain or relocate the pipe drop, shall be allowed to be reinstalled in the same pipe drop as long as the sprinkler has not been damaged by the removal or reinstallation process. Substantiation: The change for 6.2.1.1 will allow the sprinkler to be re-used for other procedures as required by NFPA 25 such as a flushing procedure. The change for 6.2.1.2 would also allow sprigs, armovers, and branch lines to be relocated. Committee Meeting Action: Reject Committee Statement: The TC doesn't feel that sprinklers should be reused due to potential damage to operating element or water seal.

Duane Johnson Strickland Fire Protection -----Original Message----- From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Art Tiroly Sent: Friday, February 6, 2015 3:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Relocate sprinklers with drops I am having an argument with a contractor that is removing heads and drops then moving them to a new position. Sprinklers are QR less than 5 years old. He is not removing the head from the drop or the 1x1/2 RC. He says he is not reusing sprinklers just relocating them with the drop nipple. He says this is standard practice. Does this violate 6.2.1.1? Do not reuse sprinklers removed from the system.
