Are reconditioned sprinklers permitted to be used on any new or existing system?

Reconditioned sprinklers are not permitted for use in any new or existing systems due to safety and performance concerns. Using reconditioned sprinklers can pose significant risks, as their operational integrity is often uncertain. New installations and existing systems must utilize components that meet current standards and regulations to ensure reliability, effectiveness, and compliance with safety codes. This restriction is in place to minimize the chances of system failures, which could lead to inadequate fire suppression and increase potential hazards in the event of a fire. Ensuring that only brand-new parts are used helps maintain the overall performance and safety of the sprinkler system, reinforcing the importance of adhering to industry standards and regulations.
