Unintentionally painting over fire sprinkler heads can occur when hiring external help or using a paint sprayer for efficiency. This mistake has potentially fatal consequences because, in a fire, heat rises to the sprinkler head. When the temperature crosses a critical point, the sprinkler head activates, releasing water to douse the flames, often preventing disaster. The core of a fire sprinkler is the colored glass bulb within the head. As the fire's heat rises, this bulb shatters, triggering water release. If paint covers the sprinkler head, it acts as a barrier, safeguarding the bulb from breaking at the crucial temperature, potentially preventing water release and impeding the valve from dropping.

Our red covers are highly visible during painting, preventing mistakes and accidental damage. They fit most flush and recessed pendent or sidewall fire sprinklers, with a 2-13/16 inch depth. These covers are temporary, meant only to prevent paint from reaching the sprinkler head; remember to remove them after painting.
