If you have a sprinkler system in your home, please follow these guidelines.
DOβs and DO NOTβs
DO NOT USE WALLPAPER STRIPPING APPARATUS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE SPRINKLER HEAD.
This includes steam st*****rs and heat guns as the heat could activate the sprinkler head into operation.
DO NOT PAINT A SPRINKLER HEAD OR COVER PLATE
This would prevent the sprinkler head operating at the set temperature and possibly not work at all.
DO NOT PAINT ANY EXPOSED PIPEWORK
Paint may react with the pipe material resulting in leaks.
DO NOT HANG ANYTHING FROM EXPOSED PIPEWORK
This would put stress on the pipework and possibly break it.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT A SPRINKLER HEAD WITH ANY OBJECT
The sprinklers have been positioned at precise locations to protect all areas of the dwelling.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE A SPRINKLER HEAD
This would activate the system and water will flow immediately.
DO NOT DAMAGE A SPRINKLER HEAD
In the case of a fire this would have a detrimental effect on the system working correctly.
DO NOT MASTIC, CAULK OR SILICONE AROUND A SPRINKLER COVER PLATE
This will stop the sprinkler working.
