According to the spare sprinkler head schedule, how many spare heads are needed for a system with 1000 or more heads?

In a system with 1000 or more sprinkler heads, the requirement for spare heads is based on standard industry guidelines that ensure adequate maintenance and system reliability. The schedule typically recommends that for every 100 sprinkler heads, a certain number are designated as spare.

For systems with 1000 or more heads, the guideline dictates that you should have 24 spare heads. This is to accommodate for potential damage, maintenance needs, or replacements that may arise over the lifespan of the system. Having 24 spare heads ensures that there are enough available to maintain coverage and functionality in the event of a failure or a need for replacement, thus ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the sprinkler system overall.

This number reflects best practices in the industry and is in line with codes that govern sprinkler system installations. It is important to follow these guidelines closely to ensure compliance and safety standards are met in fire protection systems.
