When should sprinkler heads be replaced?

Sprinkler heads should be replaced when they show signs of corrosion or damage because this condition can significantly impact their performance and reliability. Corroded or damaged sprinkler heads may fail to distribute water effectively during a fire, rendering the fire suppression system ineffective. Regular inspections are important to identify any visible deterioration, which can be caused by environmental factors, exposure to chemicals, or physical impact. Ensuring that sprinkler heads are in optimal condition is vital for the overall safety of the building and its occupants, ensuring that the fire protection system functions as intended when needed.
