I thought the 1 in 16m was the # of sprinklers activating without apparent cause- not "leaking" but discharging. This was back before the much more fragile 3mm QR/res bulbs, so expect that number to plummet, albeit not as bad as it could with the requirements for protective covers applied.

Has anyone a statistic for sprinkler system leakage? either sprinkler head or pipe? Think what you want, but I will use the information to accuse those whose arguments prevent me from putting the sprinklers in electrical rooms. scot deal excelsior fire engineering > I think it would educational, to say the least.
