Testing Recalled Fire Sprinklers with Actual Fire | The Dangers of Recalled Sprinkler Heads

Many fire sprinkler heads were recalled decades ago, but they are still found in buildings today. In this video, I fire test some recalled fire sprinklers to show the true danger these heads can pose. Special thanks to the following techs who helped make this video possible: Seth Salwa John DiRienzo Stu P. Greg Schmitz RECALLED HEADS: CENTRAL GB and CENTRAL OMEGA style heads - these are the two common variants shown. They are uncommon but still found in some buildings. There are photos online that can help you identify these heads; if in doubt, call a fire protection expert.
