LIFE SAFETY NOTE – DID YOU KNOW?
While performing annual fire sprinkler inspections in Apartments, we find thousands of painted sprinklers. Unbelievably, painters continue to overspray sidewall and pendant fire sprinklers in walls and ceilings thus costing Owners thousands of dollars each year in fire sprinkler replacement costs. Due to the high turnover of painting companies, property Owners and Management have a difficult time holding the painting companies responsible for the replacement costs incurred. Many times, the painting is done ‘in house’ and management doesn’t find out about the painted sprinklers until their annual fire sprinkler inspection is performed. According to the National Fire Protection Association, State and Local fire codes for the following reasons:
- Cleaning painted sprinklers could cause weakening of the glass “red” bulb which could result in an immediate or future premature discharge, flooding a resident’s unit or multiple units and personal property. This will typically result in a legal issue for the property Owner. Residential sprinklers discharge approx. 20 gpm each.
- The use of solvents or detergents can also get under the sprinkler cap and act like an adhesive which could delay or even prevent the sprinkler from discharging in the event of a fire. This obviously could be a huge liability for the Owner and replacement costs do not compare to the loss of life.
- Cleaning painted sprinklers can also draw a fine from the local and/or state fire marshal of up to $2,000.00.
