"I just wanted to tell you that the Sprinkler Covers are an awesome product.
So glad I made the investment. Keep up the good work."
- Gary Johnston, Sleep Tight Pest ControlThe patented fire sprinkler cooling system from GreenTech Heat offers a margin of safety for conducting a heat treatment with fire sprinklers present. Fire sprinklers are typically found in hotels, offices, and apartments. But they are present as well in residential and possibly in any structure. Fire sprinklers are uniquely engineered to burst the glass module that triggers the flow of water at specific temperatures. The range of sprinkler trigger temperatures found (residence) is from 135°F to 200°F. Modern residential structures (hotels and apartments) are typically 155°F and 180°F. Check with local building codes for specific data regarding your area. fire sprinkler protection for heat treatments Common modern fire sprinklers protrude from the ceiling approximately 1.5" to 2" with a metal finishing ring flush against the ceiling. See picture.
The fire sprinkler cooling system is designed and tested to allow a margin of extended "working" temperature while conducting a heat treatment. Bedbugs begin dying at temperatures above 120°F. Today’s common temperatures for heat treatments are from 130°F to 160°F. See the GreenTech Heat Treatment Field Guide. Whenever treating rooms with sprinkler systems caution is strongly advised. Heat temperatures can change rapidly if not monitored regularly. If you find different sprinkler types, we have solutions for most of these too. Give us a call; we have alternate solutions for other sprinkler units. A margin of safety, and piece of mind.
