Question on old sprinkler heads
Could anybody tell me where and if there is a code that says you have to replace sprinkler heads with new ones once they are removed? ___ Sprinklerforum mailing list Sprinklerforum@lists.firesprinkler.org http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
RE: Question on old sprinkler heads
NFPA 13, 2013 edition 6.2.1.1 When a sprinkler has been removed for any reason, it shall not be reinstalled. This particular text is new, but it's really just meant as a clarification for the existing 6.2.1 which states only new sprinklers shall be installed which I believe has been in the standard for several editions.
