Recalled fire sprinkler heads
Recalled fire sprinkler heads
(OP)
Is there any identification manual floating out in the ether to identify recalled heads?
I've run across my share of heads over the years but I've found one that I can't put my finger on to see if it fell under the list of heads manufactured by CSC that got recalled in their GB series.
It's a Central ESFR 14K 160 degree pendant. It appears to share the same flat base O-ring seal that doomed the GB's but I can't be positive.
Any input would be appreciated.

Fortunately I located an old CSC recall guide and then we hashed out the CSC o-ring style head issue in a meeting last night. Apparently the CSC GB head recall was because the heads would not reliably work under 7 psi due to corrosion on the o-rings.
As this is an ESFR head, getting 7 psi shouldn't an issue.

The Central voluntary recall has expired. Those who did not have their recalled sprinkler replaced under the recall will have to foot the bill themselves. There are still recalled heads in service. One of my hotel accounts declined the recall.

The Star recall has expired. Those who did not have their recalled sprinkler replaced under the recall will have to foot the bill themselves. I had three accounts with the Star ME-1 heads. Each delayed making a decision until 3 to 10 years after the recall ended. Each got new heads and had to stand the expense of replacement.
