I would consult with the AHJ. The international fire code requires the owner to
notify Fire Chief of impairments.
The bed bug people need to be aware of this hazard.

Subject: Bedbug Treatment
Sent: Feb 6, 2009 8:20 AM
Hello group,
Several months ago I was sent to remove the (12)sprinklers from a hotel room so
that it could be heat treated for a bedbug infestation. This process involves
heating the room to over 130 degrees. My instructions were to remove the
sprinklers and replace with nipple/caps until the next day when the sprinklers
could be replaced.
I know in many cases the heating equipment is truck mounted and the heating
ducts are stretched into the unit to be treated. In this case, the
heater/blowers were all portable units. In retrospect, with all of these
appliances in this unprotected space in an occupied wing of this hotel, this
was a catastrophe waiting to happen.
1) Could I have replaced the 155* heads with intermediate temp heads?
2) Could I reuse these heads for the next bedbug job?
