WHAT IS A COVERDOME®?

_

The Coverdome® is the first ever patented paint cover (U.S. Patent No. D662,569) designed to protect semi-recessed fire sprinkler heads prior to painting.  It is cup-like in appearance, with an aerodynamically shaped domed end that allows sprayed paint to flow around it.  Made of PVC that is orange in color, the Coverdome® attaches to the fire sprinkler head trim ring with removable foam adhesive or with a magnet for repeat uses.

PROTECT YOUR SPRINKLERS

_

Hundreds of thousands of fire sprinklers are painted annually across the United States, placing lives and properties at risk.  When paint is sprayed onto a fire sprinkler head, it creates a seal that in the event of a fire greatly increases the activation response time of the fire sprinkler head.  It is even possible that the fire sprinkler will not activate at all!  The possible loss of life and damage to property due to the decreased activation response time creates a huge liability factor. 

Painted fire sprinklers are REQUIRED by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to be replaced. Replacements are not only intrusive and disruptive to those in the replacement area but also extremely costly as well.  Nothing will wreck a carefully planned annual budget more quickly than finding out that you have hundreds of painted fire sprinklers that must be replaced.
