What Causes Accidental Restaurant Sprinkler Activation?
Some common causes include:
- Accidentally hitting a sprinkler head with a ladder or other object can cause activation.
- Proximity to heat sources like lights, electronics, or machinery can also set off a sprinkler.
- Cleaning sprinkler bulbs with compressed air can run the risk of cooling and shattering the sprinkler’s thermal glass bulb, which can also cause discharge.
Many incidences of accidental sprinkler activation are preventable with regular maintenance and the installation of sprinkler head guards.
