Automatic sprinklers located in several areas of the building have been recalled by the manufacturer and may not operate during a fire. We recommend that these sprinklers be replaced with sprinklers having the same sprinkler characteristics (K-factor, spray pattern, operating temperature) as those designed to protect the occupancy. When extensive sprinkler replacement is necessary, sprinkler piping is required to undergo a hydrostatic pressurization test.
