Synopsis
Dry type sprinklers are usually installed in relatively harsh environments where temperature, humidity and corrosive conditions are prevalent. These conditions may contribute to a life expectancy that is less than normal for standard sprinklers. Tyco Fire & Building Products has performed an extensive analysis of the design, use and maintenance of dry type sprinklers. As a result of the study, several issues have been identified and those issues have been addressed with Tyco Fire & Building Products’ new product offering. These issues include ice buildup inside dry type sprinklers; ice development in wet system branch lines due to conduction; and obstruction of water flow by the inlet seal.

As such, where any of the following issues are experienced and replacement sprinklers are needed, the new product line as manufactured by Tyco Fire & Building Products under the brand names of Central, Gem, and Star should be specified.
