We are still running into the Omega Fire Sprinklers, the Central GBR, and the Central Opima ROC here locally in Southern Orange County. These fire sprinklers have been recalled for some time and homeowners are NOT aware of this issue despite the Consumer Affairs reports posted online.
Part of our responsibility is to educate people on the misunderstanding and Hollywood depictions on how Residential Fire Sprinklers actually work. It’s not like in the movies where a fire is started and every fire sprinkler activates. Common sense would tell you that your water pressure would drop, and without any pressure, the water would not displace effectively.
A residential fire sprinkler puts out 13 gpm, where a firefighter with a 2 1/2″ hose easily puts out over 100 gpm. Which one would you rather have. I would take the 13 gpm from the fire sprinkler. But back to our original point… The fire sprinkler that has not been recalled or manufactured over 18+ years ago, were recalled, a VRP program put in place to assist homeowners, the program expired in 2007, and these heads are still scattered throughout Southern California.
As with any fire sprinkler system, even residential fire sprinklers are required to be tested and inspected annually from a licensed C16 Fire Protection Contractor in California.
