[–]davebrewer 273 points274 points ago

Most sprinkler systems do not work like the movies in at least two important ways:

1) when you set off one they do not all go off

2) when one DOES go off, it does not release a stream of lukewarm, clear, potable water. It shoots off 60 - 80 gallons per minute of the blackest, brackish, foulest water you've ever been around. Imagine that the water has just been sitting in these cast pipes for 3 years before you accidentally bumped it. Think of all the lovely microbial growth going on in the dark at 55 degrees. That stuff stinks. It's black and awful.

It's just about the worst thing possible if you live in a high rise because the volume of water will assuredly damage every room below and next to the one being flooded. Busted sprinkler head 11 floors above you? Welcome to the new wetness.

In my day job, I'm reminded of how terrible this stuff can be every couple of months. Students: please stop putting hangers on sprinkler heads, kicking soccer balls in your room, or trying to "cover the sprinkler head with a Ziploc because you thought that smoking a little dope in your bedroom would set it off if it smelled smoke."

[–]Amonkeyiwishwasi1 56 points57 points ago

This is one reason why I like living in a state that has actual significant weather changes. Here in NJ most sprinkler systems are what they call a "Dry system." This means that the pipes aren't water filled until an alarm is actually tripped by heat/smoke.

[–]joeanon 12 points13 points ago

Sounds like it's also more prone to failure. I don't see what this has to do with weather. Sprinkler systems are indoors and thus are most often heated. I've installed sprinkler systems in Maryland and that is not how they work. They are pressurized all the time to reduce chance of failure. That seems to be a much smarter design to me. The last thing you want is to add a bunch of variables between the sprinkler head and the water pressure.

[–]iamthepandaman 42 points43 points ago

Dry pipe systems are used in areas that are subjected to freezing temperatures. They work with pressurized air filling the pipes and holding back the water in the system. When a head is set off or broken, the air escapes and the valve opens, releasing the water.

Its not more prone to failure if it is designed properly, as NFPA 13 states that there is a minimum time for the head to activate (60 seconds if I remember correctly).

Sorry, felt the need to post, FPE student :)

[–]Amonkeyiwishwasi1 11 points12 points ago

Thanks for the specific NFPA reg haha. I'm a Firefighter so I enjoy these tidbits

[–]KravenLupei 4 points5 points ago

Actually, most of the time systems themselves aren't dry. They're wet systems with dry pendents.

There are basically tubes that connect into a wet system that act as a dry pipe for the purpose of penetrating to an area that is subject to freezing temperatures, eg, having a restaurant where the entire thing is covered by a wet system then they have a single dry pendent sprinkler pop into the top of their freezer to protect it. Still connected to the wet system though, but the drop itself is "dry" in all regards.

Source - Fire Sprinkler System Designer

Feel free to AMA I guess.

Edit: That is to say, usually it wouldn't be 60 seconds. It would be a few seconds. The dry piping and head exists to combat freezing temperatures for the most part, that is all. Not to give time for an alarm to go off to activate water or whatever. That's a preaction system, and there are several kinds of preaction systems; The kind that only sends water when an alarm is tripped is just one of three.

[–]iamthepandaman 1 point2 points ago

I was just saying that it depends on the climate, I live in Canada, so dry systems are quite common here.

[–]KravenLupei 0 points1 point ago

Not even "climate" really.

Most states in the US, like, anything north of a certain line (that's somewhere around the Carolinas iirc) requires dry piping where exposed to freezing temperatures. It's a BIG part of the country.

Down here in FL is one of the few places they don't need it. So we have full wet systems hanging out in even parking garages that are exposed, you'd never see that up north, that'd be dry all the way. But dry drops / sidewalls are common for like, restaurants protecting their patios. Just pop out the side of a wall with it.

[–]grivooga 0 points1 point ago

Not all of Florida. Once you get north of the Orlando area you start to see 'dry' systems pretty frequently if the entire system isn't fully climate controlled. I know in my service area the line is north of Brooksville.

[–]KravenLupei -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, I work in Tampa, 1 county north is the line pretty much.

[–]Logical_proof 0 points1 point ago

Pre-action, Deluge, and wet sprinkler system inspector here and dry pendants are rarely used outside of freezers. Dry systems and anti-freeze systems are commonly used in areas with cold weather. Sprinkler systems may be in doors but that doesn't mean that there aren't sections still prone to freezing. We service an ice cream manufacturing plant in Phoenix and they use pre-action sprinklers (which are similar to dry pipe) and it is common to perform ice obstruction removal every year. Not long ago a section of their wet pipe system burst from freezing (above a room with dry pendant heads) and the results were disastrous.

[–]KravenLupei 0 points1 point ago

Well, I said Dry Pendents in general but I also meant things like dry sidewalls for protected patio spaces and such. Tried to just keep it simple for the most part though.

Of course there are always certain areas where you need to switch the system to dry / preaction, like if you're doing a residential home and need to sprinkle the garage space too I know it's not uncommon to make that antifreeze or something. (Man, that fiasco a few years back with antifreeze in California blowing up and NFPA just telling everyone "DON'T USE ANTIFREEZE TIL WE FIGURE THIS OUT" and basically resolved it saying no more mixing your own... Fun times.)

[–]pewterbubbles1 0 points1 point ago

We often use dry sidewalls to cover patios in buildings and provide sprinkler coverage to overhands and other exposed areas.

Freezers are a minority in which sprinklers are need.

[–]Jaychael 5 points6 points ago

We have a Dry system in our warehouse that is constantly under air pressure. If the pressure drops below a certain point, like a broken head the system becomes charged with water.

[–]tall4one 4 points5 points ago

In my dorm someone propped open a stairwell door in the dead of winter and forgot about it. Water froze, pipe busted, fire alarm went off. Not that everyone props doors open, but that might have something to do with it.

[–]ramp_tram 5 points6 points ago

I don't see what this has to do with weather.

Pipes freeze in the winter, son.

[–]yorick_rolled 6 points7 points ago

The pipes are already frozen, son.

The issue is the water inside them also becoming a solid.

[–]ramp_tram -3 points-2 points ago

You might be the dumbest cocksucker to ever suck a cock.

[–]yorick_rolled 3 points4 points ago

I lol'ed

[–]amishtek 0 points1 point ago

Only smarter if you are sure the water would not freeze. Is a frozen pipe more likely to work than a pipe that isn't readied with water to keep it from freezing?

[–]eonetiller 2 points3 points ago

Correct. And usually have a water flow alarm tied into the system.

[–]pewterbubbles1 0 points1 point ago

Actually this is a pre-action system. A dry system would flood the system with water when the air pressure went below the dry valve differential.

[–]MacGuyverism 0 points1 point ago

At the mall where I used to work, the part of the sprinkler system that was exposed to freezing temperatures was filled with glycol. If it were to go off the water would push the glycol out and flow until the water supply is stopped.

[–]nobody2000 6 points7 points ago

We had a system at a place I worked at that would drain itself for two reasons:

  • The obvious that you already stated - this also keeps the pipes free of corrosion (a vacuum is formed so there's no oxygen in the pipes either).

  • There are a series of bells throughout the main line. When water rushes through the pipe, you'll hear the bells, thus providing a unique and additional alarm in case the system goes off. This will enable for either A.) Fast evacuation or B.) Quick realization that shit's getting soaked during a false alarm.

But yeah - I laugh when I see movies where ALL the heads go off at once. I laugh harder when the pathological liar tells the story where they all go off at once (no, really bro...it happened!).

[–]UserNotAvailable 1 point2 points ago

I've been wondering for years how these magical simultaneous sprinkler systems work!

The general idea of a glas phial that burst at high temperatures was easy enough to see, but I kept wondering "Am I missing some additional electronics?" or "Maybe the sudden drop in pressure causes the other sprinklers to activate as well?"

It never occoured to me, that Hollywood had been lying the whole time!

[–]MacGuyverism 0 points1 point ago

There are places where it goes off like in the movies, but these are coordinated system in locations like server farms and other industries with specific requirements.

I can even think of one example. I used to work in a McDonald's. In the exhaust hoods, there are sprinklers piped to a chemical reservoir. Right behind the filters, there are tensioned metal cables attached to fuses. If the fuse melts, the tension is released and the chemicals flow.

[–]joeanon -3 points-2 points ago

I don't think corrosion of the pipes is a legit concern. All other water pipes hold water under constant pressure. The building will be condemned before those pipes corrode, especially something thick like cast iron or L copper.

I don't see how the bells make a difference or why they wouldn't be hooked into the emergency lighting and run off electric.

[–]nobody2000 1 point2 points ago

I don't understand the point of the bells either, but they exist IN the pipe - almost like valves. I picture them as little things that spin when water rushes through.

Once a year, we'd have the system inspected, and the inspector would run water through the system. When he did that, we would hear the bells cascade from the water meter to the sewer until a bunch of bells were ringing. When we turned the water off, the bells would cascade backward, and slow down until they stopped ringing - as if the water got cut off and the last of it flowed through the pipes.

[–]iamthepandaman 2 points3 points ago

The purpose of the water motor gong/bell is in the event of a failure of the alarm system, there is still a mechanical means on notification. Also there is a type of sprinkler system, called a deluge system, where all heads are always open and when they are triggered by the fire alarm system (usually by activation of 2 smoke detectors in the same are) they flood the room.... Not a common thing to see, but they use in in things like computer server rooms where the components are very valuable and worth soaking in water or chemical.

[–]ramp_tram 0 points1 point ago

Do you know what they ended up replacing Halon with?

[–]iamthepandaman 2 points3 points ago

Well to the fullest extent nothing, but the closest thing we have are inert chemicals such as Inergen and Sapphire, but nothing is as good as Halon 1301, its almost a shame that it can't be used unless its military application

[–]Shrapnail 0 points1 point ago

Watched a Maintenance guy set off the Halon bottle in my bradley turret, pretty much took it in the face and wasn't very happy.

[–]iamthepandaman 0 points1 point ago

ouch.... i hope it was Halon 1301....

[–]nobody2000 1 point2 points ago

Thanks....TIL!

[–]MangoCats 0 points1 point ago

In 1993, I took possession of a house built in 1935. The galvanized steel pipes had already been replaced at least once, and within 10 years of my owning it, they needed replacement again (hots were already springing leaks, colds were almost corroded closed.)

[–]PhillupJSimpson 5 points6 points ago

Moving in to my new apartment, 3 am, I'm finally setting up my bed. The frame is set, I stand the mattress up and push it, intending it to land perfectly on the frame. It catches the sprinkler head and the mattress bends then hangs with a substantial amount of its weight caught on the head.

I got so close to meeting every neighbor on my first night.

[–]gliscameria 4 points5 points ago

They purge ours twice a year here, and even at that, when they flush the lines it's nasty.

Even better -- EYE WASHES. A lot of the old eye wash stations aren't continuous flow, which means that water just sits in them. Hopefully you have someone regularly flush them, but when you don't, well, someone uses it and gets their eyes destroyed with rust and then filled with shit water.

[–]khag 1 point2 points ago

Many places that actually need eye washes also have regulations requiring testing/flushing monthly.

[–]Standeck[!] 1 point2 points ago

ANSI says flush the eyewashes monthly and the showers get tested bi-annually. OSHA is thinking about adopting that by reference.

[–]phayd 3 points4 points ago

Wait, why is the covering with a ziploc a danger to setting the sprinkler off? And who the hell covers a sprinkler which goes off when the room reaches extremely high temperatures? Was it some Smoke detector/Sprinkler hybrid?

[–]r250r 11 points12 points ago

The mechanism in some sprinkler heads is very fragile - a glass ampoule that breaks at a specific temperature.

[–]davebrewer 0 points1 point ago

Pot smokers are generally not thinking clearly whilst smoking. I had a student cover the sprinkler head with a Ziploc and duct tape because he feared it would burst if he smoked his joint in his room and then bust it trying to get it off the sprinkler while high. Total frat move.

[–]BroadStreet_Bully 2 points3 points ago

[–]captainzigzag 1 point2 points ago

Confirmed, there's nothing worse than old wetness.

[–]flipsnory 3 points4 points ago

I had a neighbor accidentally break the sprinkler outside my apartment. It flooded my apartment while I was at work. I had almost no furniture, most of my stuff was on the floor, destroyed. Did I mention this was in a coastal rainforest in Southeast Alaska? Clean-up took nearly a month of persistent bleaching, scrubbing, and fanning every day after work. It stank so god damn bad.

[–]admiralspark -1 points0 points ago

Could've been worse. Here in Fairbanks, if that happened right now we'd come back to a house full of ice :/

[–]flipsnory 2 points3 points ago

I know. I live in Fairbanks. Used to live in Juneau.

Even in cold temps there would be no ice. The water did not stop the heater or degrade the insulation. Believe me there are not a lot of things worse than coming home to what I came home to that day. There are worse things, but not many. It was so bad the place may as well have been on fire.

[–]admiralspark 0 points1 point ago

Sorry to hear it man :/

Did insurance help at all or dd they chalk it up to "natural disaster"?

[–]yipperoo 0 points1 point ago

I testify this is completely true. I worked in a warehouse once and a guy raised the forklift too high and snapped off a sprinkler head. We scrambled looking for a way to shut off the water but it just kept pouring out. The fire department is instantly notified when this happened. When they arrived they and we told them what happened, they just stood around like it was no big deal. I asked why the heck weren't they doing anything to stop the water from ruining everything and they said they couldn't. It just all had to flow out. They said that our building had never had the sprinklers go off so that water was in the pipes for at least 10 years (maybe even 20). The water was so nasty smelling. It was like a sewer opened up from above and rained down for 45 minutes straight. Fortunately, it was a pressure cleaning warehouse and we had the perfect fitting that would thread in the busted sprinkler head to act as a cap to seal it off. By the time we managed that, though, most of the water had been evacuated.

[–]iamthepandaman 2 points3 points ago

The fire department was full of shit.... there is a butterfly valve on the sprinkler riser and a PIV valve at the street level.... in other words, there are a lot of ways to shut the system off

[–]bigsquirrel 1 point2 points ago

Yup, if the head is intact there are also those little wedges you can slide in to stop the flow.

[–]iamthepandaman 0 points1 point ago

Just looking at how it was spraying, its hard to say whether or not it was intact or not, but that is true!

[–]kevin24lg 1 point2 points ago

My Dad is a pipe fitter for the last 30 something years. Every restaurant, building, etc we go to we always play the game "spot the sprinkler". The worst thing though, is when you see someone in a movie hold a lighter up to the sprinkler for like 3 seconds and it goes off.

[–]willworkforicecream 0 points1 point ago

Students: please stop putting hangers on sprinkler heads, kicking soccer balls in your room, or trying to "cover the sprinkler head with a Ziploc because you thought that smoking a little dope in your bedroom would set it off if it smelled smoke."

Also, don't shoot the damn things with airsoft guns, set off the sprinkler, flood 4 floors of dorms and make me stop playing video games to come fix all that shit until 3 am.

And then don't say that you were shooting at a jack-o-lantern and it ricocheted off and hit the sprinkler. Nobody believes that.

[–]SOLIDninja -4 points-3 points ago

It's also important to note that the water in sprinkler systems is pressurized and usually does not have a "shut off" like normal water systems do... requiring the fire department to spend time and resources shutting it off.

[–]joeanon 9 points10 points ago

[–]willymo 2 points3 points ago

[–]Robin420 24 points25 points ago

let me tell you all a quick story... I as in jail for a fight, waiting to see the judge in my cell im bored so i fuck with the sprinkler... Thing breaks and I'm blasted by this black stinky water. The cell I'm in was one of the ones with plastic as well as bars, and a little tray opening for food. The room started filling up quick as hell, unbelievably so. I'm yelling for he CO but the asshole next door to me has been yelling all night for no reason. It gets to waist high before this fuck-o comes over and opens the door to a literall flood of shitty water, just like the movies. I'm freezing the cops are pissed and my clothes are soaked. So they give me this Tyvek onesie and put me in another cell. The next day I had an added charge of some sort and had to see the judge in my near see through onesie. But yea.. the water was black.

[–]ikefalcon 10 points11 points ago

[–]UnrepentantFenian 19 points20 points ago

Definitely a sprinkler head. Sprinkler water is usually black and smells as bad as it looks.

[–]zeug666 7 points8 points ago

At least at first - most of the time the water is just sitting in the pipes stagnating, which leads/promotes the growth of anerobic bacteria (in particular sulfate reducers), which produce acidic by-products, which start deteriorating pipes from the inside out. Combine that with the fact that 'wet' sprinkler systems are kept under pressure; sooner or later there will be a leak or a blow out of smelly black water (if you have ever gone into a stagnant pond, it is a similar smell).

Most places don't bother to flush the system on a regular basis, let alone recirculate or chemically treat the water, so you end up with a small fire or errant bowling ball causing a lot more damage from the putrid water than the initial incident would have done.

[–]franstoobnsf 5 points6 points ago

Some asshole threw a soccer ball or something at the sprinkler in my dorm in college. Had to walk down 14 flights of stairs, and I can confirm: that years old stagnant water smells like your worst nightmares come to life.

[–]Dukeronomy 28 points29 points ago

As an ex fire sprinkler technician, I can confirm that the water inside those pipes is disgusting. It's a combination of grease from the cutting/threading process and rust/corrosion. There is probably another sprinkler 16' to either side of this one, still incredible that she managed to nail it.

[–]elad661 5 points6 points ago

Isn't grease flammable?

[–]NorthStarTX 10 points11 points ago

Depends on what you mean by "grease", as that is a pretty generic term meaning anything from pork fat to silicon jelly. In many cases, yes. In this particular case, I doubt it.

[–]Meatpuppy 1 point2 points ago

With the rate the water comes out there would be 0% chance of it ever burning. This is also why you don't see alot of sprinklers in homes. The water damage would crush your insurance.

[–]SirDerpingtonThe3rd 0 points1 point ago

As a mechanical engineer, I can assure you that there is not a significant amount of grease compared to the 60-80 gallons of water per minute being pumped through the sprinkler. It would be just enough to make the water dingy.

What would have been awesome is if the rushing water knocked down all the pins, thus giving her a strike.

[–]solomon_pale 11 points12 points ago

She rolled a natural 1.

[–]cjhazza 2 points3 points ago

This is even worse than a natural 1, this is like rolling a 1 on a d100 roll. Then going to that fuck off massive special table that has a list of things that can go wrong as a result of you rolling so poorly and seeing what shit comes out.

Actually this reminds me of the first time playing a psyker in Dark Heresy (the Warhammer 40K RPG), first psychic power use, fuck up the roll as badly as was possible. Have to go to the psychic overbleed table, fuck up that roll and end up summoning a demon from the warp, which murders the entire group in about 4 turns. Well that was fun! Everyone re-roll new characters and we'll try that again.

Pool on the roof must have a leak.

[–]the_internet_clown 1 point2 points ago

[–]JRSchroeder 22 points23 points ago

She really striked that, hope they have a spare.

[–]joannchilada 6 points7 points ago

:C

[–]DoWhile 12 points13 points ago

Better catch her before she splits

[–]dak52 6 points7 points ago

Why are there not more comments, you were really on a roll?

[–]matthewtheninja 4 points5 points ago

Well you can't really fault them for not contributing to such a pin-headed pun thread.

[–]dak52 4 points5 points ago

Their just a bunch of Turkeys.

[–]IamSparticles 2 points3 points ago

They were framed.

[–]Jias 2 points3 points ago

She'll have to have pretty big balls to go back there again.

[–]DustForVomit 2 points3 points ago

Get your mind out of the gutter.

[–]shucksey 0 points1 point ago

I'd bumper pads

[–]AliasUndercover 3 points4 points ago

That's how I bowl. This is why I don't bowl much...

[–]Lurch07 2 points3 points ago

A-freakin-mazing!

[–]Anaract 3 points4 points ago

I really want to see the next 10 seconds of this clip. The fuck is coming out of that sprinkler?

[–]jim10040 2 points3 points ago

Got to be rusty water coming out of that pipe...Water that's been sitting in that pipe almost since they built the system.

[–]EnnoSpellsno 2 points3 points ago

TOTALLY WRECKED THE ENTIRE BOWLING.

[–]FightTheFade 2 points3 points ago

Nailed it.

[–]VeurrUlfr20 2 points3 points ago

Bitch opened up a worm hole

[–]Dinkleburg238 0 points1 point ago

She literally hit the only sprinkler that I see possible to hit in the entire shot. honestly it looks like it would take talent to not miss it, bravo

[–]Nighthawk6857 1 point2 points ago

Who put the ceiling there?!

[–]stargoslaby 1 point2 points ago

Not gonna lie, I'd be tripping balls if that happened to me....

[–]Mr_Kray 0 points1 point ago

watch the vid the ball comes all the way back

[–]xp442 0 points1 point ago

This is when we immediately leave the bowling alley.

[–]rgeguypic 0 points1 point ago

"Yes, we're through with our lane now. How much does 2 games come to?"

[–]StreetKidNamedDesire 1 point2 points ago

Yeaaaa it's time to go...

[–]botanist2 1 point2 points ago

Well, at least she picked up the spare...

[–]StuddedMohawk 1 point2 points ago

This happened at the bowling alley I frequently go to. Empire Bowl in Redlands, CA. There's a huge patch in the ceiling hahaha

[–]Aperfectmoment 1 point2 points ago

aren't you supposed to use a ball with a weight that would make that extremely difficult

[–]Snowleopard1469 1 point2 points ago

did she open a fucking black hole?

[–]musicalbacon -1 points0 points ago

Women, am i right guys?

[–]specfreq 0 points1 point ago

It gets more funny the more i watch it.

[–]SarthhtraS 0 points1 point ago

HOW RUDE! That ceiling had feelings too! ugh... some people.

[–]SEBASTIANSEVERICH -1 points0 points ago

Sauce?

[–]MashedHair 0 points1 point ago

Looks like she hit it to me.

[–]Rmountz95 1 point2 points ago

FORE!!!

[–]shockpath 0 points1 point ago

That ogre needs a heavier ball

[–]tugjobsummers 0 points1 point ago

This looks like the hardest level in the world

[–]crazyjimmy 0 points1 point ago

Women don't really know how to pick their balls.

[–]FishTrainer 0 points1 point ago

I once grabbed a ball that was too small for my fingers. I threw the ball but it stuck to my fingers and went flying. It landed on the ball return, rolled down it for a ways, it hit a little sensor thing that stuck up out of the ball return, and it flew through the air. After what felt like weeks it hit the back panel with all the bowling balls and pins graphics on it it and it fell off. I just stood there thinking that nobody would ever believe me that this happened.

[–]jk147 1 point2 points ago

I wonder who had to pay for all that damage she caused, since alleys are all wood and filled with electronics this is very, very expensive.

[–]bejewled001 0 points1 point ago

saw this on afv

[–]ExileNarwhalfy 0 points1 point ago

[Insert dumb blonde joke here]

[–]jlitz -1 points0 points ago

How the fuck does one throw a bowling ball that high and far... and manage to hit a sprinkler perfectly at the same time?

[–]willscy 0 points1 point ago

it probably only weighs 5 lbs.

[–]504Dug -1 points0 points ago

Best youtube comment: this is fake...if you look in the background you can see it's not the kitchen

[–]darkpaladin 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, such an original and insightful comment. No one has ever made that type of comment before, that's how you know it's funny.

[–]MostRealisticComment -2 points-1 points ago

Why do the fat girls always use the lightest balls possible?

[–]misterbinny 0 points1 point ago

Never seen this sport before, what is it called?

[–]Booney_The_Goonie 16 points17 points ago

Sprinkler hunting.

[–]Isleepreallylate -1 points0 points ago

I wonder how her handjob skills are..

[–]DontBeSuchAnAnnHog -5 points-4 points ago

That's nothing.

One time, whilst drinking heavily and bowling, I managed to throw the ball so hard into the gutter that it bounced out and onto a stranger's lane and got him a strike. We high fived.

[–]BenTheZombieKiller 3 points4 points ago

I'm sure that happened to you and totally wasn't a scene from a movie.

[–]Oblivious_to_Women 0 points1 point ago

Actually, I've seen a bowling ball jump out of the gutter. The guy knocked down a few of the pins on the right. He used one of those throws where you don't use the finger holes.

[–]metal_dude -4 points-3 points ago

Of course she's blonde

[–]suckaducknigga -4 points-3 points ago

How did she get out of the kitchen..
