We had one bust yesterday that upon removal came apart. So we are assuming it was bad prior and leaked water in the last time the dry system was tripped.

(Kinda hard to gauge from the Maintenance man's description of "It was pouring out of there") This should confirm any damage to the top. R/ Matt Matthew J.

I found 6 so far in a school's stadium. Some, the seats and bulbs were completely gone, some had no noticeable damage but the water was evident and witnessed. They are around 8" long, installed in tees and plugs. R/ Matt Matthew J.
