Its not so much the hazzard of setting them off, but hanging anything (colthes hangers WITH clothes attached, or even Xmas decorations) will severely affect there response time, and there spray pattern , once activated
"Every day when I go to school I see people trying to cut sprinklers with a reciprocating saw." -Firealarmdude5967 2022 Makes perfect sense, I see it at school all the time.
I came to this video because I want to clean the one in my apartment, but I'm afraid I'll set it off. I ended up staying to watch this guy take a batter, hammer, soccer ball, fire extinguisher, and a saw to a sprinkler. lmao. This is top notch quality, Mr. FireAlarmDude5967
My school district replaced most sprinkler systems a few years ago. They are now flush mounted under white covers in the ceiling. The head pops down in the case of fire.
This would be concealed heads, not flush mounted. The covers fall (melt) off at a temperature less that the heads activation temp. The heads diffuser drops down when the cover falls off.
Union Fitter here: it is still HIGHLY advised to be careful around them. Each head could be more fragile than the other so still avoid making contact with them. ALSO if you activate a sprinkler head you will not just flood the room it’s in. These are made to flow a LOT of water out of them and it will take an engineer or someone who runs the building a few minutes at least to get to a control valve of some sort to stop the flow of water to the head. You will flood not only your condo but the hall and more than likely the condos next to you. These systems usually sit over a hundred pounds of pressure so really high flow rate. Long story short: don’t touch them still lol
I wonder if the higher pressure in actual systems doesn't make the red vial actually more fragile than it was in the demo shown in this video. (Although I don't know what pressure it was but I guess it was lower than a commercial system).
@@jehjeh37111 Made sense to me as the red vial is a bit like an empty soda can with or without someone standing on it. Without any weight on top if it you can crush the sides of the can and it will not collapse. But with someone standing on it it will actually hold quite a substantial amount of weight UNTIL even the smallest dent is made on a side. Then it will instantly get flattened ! So I guess it's the same with fire sprinklers, where the water pressure resting on that vial is the equivalent of someone standing on an empty soda can.
That is an awesome video........I have worked in many industrial sites and have always wondered how tough these are. I am also surprised that there are not more cages. Great job!! DD
Wow much more tough than I would’ve expected those cages seem to fail pretty easily I see them fall off all the time I know you don’t have the set up for testing that so it couldn’t happen but i am curious to see how much force it takes to break a threaded joint on sprinkler pipe I once saw in a crawlspace a 4 inch sprinkler pipe where the ready rod had failed so there was about a 50 foot section of 4 inch pipe not supported and it was under a gym floor so when the gym was being used this thing would start moving up and down by about a foot at the end Great video though
Thanks for the demos!! My experience is that the typical fire-sprinkler-system discharges I've run into has been during a construction project by either a strike by a boom lift/scissors lift by another trade (painters, drywallers, electricians) or a forklift moving loaded pallets in a warehouse situation and gets too high. Also had a client with a high-bay warehouse that stored furniture for their large furniture store. The high-bay warehouse would then fill customer orders from the storage racks. However a firm with very poor welders had put together the rack system (5-rows high) from a 2-row system that had been purchased from another storage firm that had ceased operations. The Fire Department receives a fire alarm and sends trucks but when they get there the reason the system activated was that the rack system had collapsed due to the poor welding. Due to the furniture load every row of the 5 rows had its own sprinkler line. That was $400,000 of damage back in 1990 which would be $1 million or so in damage today. Other than that, as you correctly point, out these fire sprinkler heads are very durable except for heat. Only surprise here was the coat hanger as I've went into rooms of friends/colleagues at a business convention and told them not to use those sidewall heads as coat hangers. Have never seen those sidewall heads discharge but have heard about it second hand.
Anybody who's lived in a college dorm has heard stories of people breaking a sprinkler head with something like a football and flooding their entire floor/every floor below them. Back in high school a guy accidentally broke one that was in the ceiling of the gym (about 30 feet in the air) after punting a basketball.
@yosefmacgruber1920 it’s sometimes assumed that sprinkler heads, especially upright heads won’t possibly be damaged when they’re high enough. Sometimes this is a bad assumption
I have a burning question (no pun intended) on sprinklers.. why have the dome under it.. wouldn’t take create a umbrella above the fire??? Seems counter intuitive
Our builder warned us about throwing balls near them. They got me paranoid AF. My son still practice throwing in the basement, and I get nervous on his high passes. This makes me feel a little better. I still think I'm going to put cages over them in the basement.
there was a student back in my high school days that set one off by getting his keys stuck and yanking on the lanyard. reportedly flooded that part of the school.
What if you are moving furniture into or out of the room? Tall bookcases that accidentally contact the ceiling. Too tall much? Just a minor ceiling blemish, if you do not break a fire sprinkler head.
@@FireAlarmDude5967 If only I did not have several items that I need somebody to help me lift and move. I want to leave this has-been corrupt USA, and so will need to put all my stuff into a shipping container. I am not as concerned about having somebody to unload it, as what I can't get out, I can make some friends or take out later, that is if I can purchase my shipping container and not just rent it. When you have to have help, you can not fully control what the other person does. One of the few advantages of not having fire sprinkler heads. And I just watched some YT video of a water flooded school in which the sprinkler pipes froze. Don't they use some sort of anti-freeze in some places? Everything has to be so complicated?

Instantly the show was over. Nothing but misty fog.
Sometimes the sprinklers are mounted on the wall. You jostled the coat hanger from that direction, but I feel like if you hung something on the glass bulb it would probably break.
1. You need to pump that sucker up to 140 PSI or so which is what you'll find in real life. 2. Clothes hangers don't go on vertical sprinklers, they go on horizontal ones. In hotels people mistake horizontal sprinkler heads for clothes hooks and that's where the whole issue with the signs originates. 3. If some day you take it up to 140 PSI, might as well keep going and see how far up you can take it before something bursts. Most heads are nominally rated at 175 PSI (though they'll probably go much further than that)
1) 140 PSI may be realistic pressure for a system but the point of the test is to test the durability of the heads, which is completely independent from the pressure 2) That applies to all heads. Those signs are near every head, ceiling and side. Either way, it doesn’t matter, because the point is to to test the durability, which is roughly the same for both heads. 3) Perhaps. Not sure how I’d get a head pressured that high
@@FireAlarmDude5967 You could use a bucket pump and a couple of fittings, I think they usually have a 15mm or 1/2inch female thread on the output of the pump.
With all due respect, I worked in a few big hotels in Las Vegas. Namely I worked at the Bellagio for a few years and I can definitely tell you clothes hangers can, and will set off a fire sprinkler. It happened quite a few times while I was there. They had the same sprinklers sticking about and invariably, someone will put a wedding dress or suit on them and set it off. It is a mess and will generally cost the guests thousands in repairs. You do your viewers a higher disservice for trying to make it seem like it won’t happen, but it will and has…many many times.
Nowhere in this video do I encourage anyone to hang items or tamper with fire sprinklers. This video is not to encourage any of that behavior. The point of this video is to experiment with sprinklers to see how easy they are to set off. I literally do cause the units to activate in this video several times
@@FireAlarmDude5967 you literally tugged on the hanger, put weight on it, then wrapped it around the middle section. Maybe it’s a different brand than the hotels use, maybe it’s a different water pressure, I don’t know, but I’ve seen many situations where those things broke and, not only flooded the room, but cad added three or more floors down to other rooms. And let me tell you, that water stinks!
It would work the same way, but the spray pattern wouldn’t be as effective . Side and pendent sprinklers are designed to have a spray pattern that is ideal for their mounting position.
We were having Mexican officials visit our office in San Diego and one of my coworkers was moving a flag stand into the conference room by rolling the base at a slight angle. Only had a few inches to spare and he didn’t see the sprinkler head. Anyway, he hit it and it went off. (Don’t know if the metal eagle hit or what) The maintenance guy said it was discharging 100 gallons/minute. In no time we had several inches of water in the 1000 sq/ft conference room. Carpet ruined, drywall up a foot or so had to be cut out. Only silver lining is I HAD NOTHING to do with it. 😉
Well, with a k8 head and a pump with a 200 psi churn in a high rise, and right off a cross main, that's not the most implausible number, but most likely a bit lower.
100 GPM is a bit much for an office system. more like maybe up to 60 GPM max for that setting. A 100 GPM head is more for heavy hazard occupancies with large orifice heads.
You have to either be a drywaller or electrician with a piece of conduit or a lift to set it off… been hangin them bastards for 10 yrs… that’s the most common effective method.
The only way it will go off is if you hit the glass bit. Likewise if the room it is in is on fire once it reaches a certain temperature thats what triggers it.
Not fully true. If you make hard enough contact you can mess with the seat and it will start to leak. Not a lot of water BUT there is more than likely a hundred pounds of pressure behind the head so that’s a lot of faith to put in the glass to keep the head from going off.
The hanger one is meant for wall mounded heads not ceiling mounted heads reason being is the weight of whatever you’re possibly hanging can break the glass and you can even see that in the photo you provided, the sprinkler head is mounted to the wall.

@FireAlarmDude5967 yeah but the fire was 3 floors above me n water from sprinklers and firemen damaged mine n 2 other apartments that was below the apartment with the fire
That's the joy of gravity. Water will flow downwards and your unit was below the fire zone. Nothing can be done about that. As mentioned, either fire damage or water damage. If the firefighters were not using water, the fire would spread. How else are they expected to put out the fire?
Just had a horror show at one of my shops last week, movers hit the sprinkler, my store flooded water went to both neighbors, I'm fuckd thank God I have insurance , movers don't.....
This is so bad to show. Don’t be doing any of this. I know it’s to show how they aren’t that easy to break. But most of the things he’s shown that doesn’t break it. It’s because he’s not hitting it hard. He’s not proving anything in this video.
You missed the point of the video entirely. The point of the video is not to say that you should hit fire sprinklers. The point is to test how hard you have to hit a sprinkler head to set it off. Anyone with half a brain knows to not intentionally hit sprinkler heads.

What is the best way to catch the water if a fire sprinkler goes off accidentally? Do they make anything for this?
No way unfortunately. A sprinkler discharges so much water that any bucket will be quickly overfilled.
You can't contain all of the water but they do make sprinkler stoppers that can be wedged into the head in case they are activated.
