Why It Matters

Did you know that most sprinkler activations are not triggered by a fire? Most sprinkler heads have a glass vial filled with liquid that holds a plug that seals off the water. When the liquid is heated it expands and breaks the vial releasing the water. This vial though strong can be easily broken when bumped or stressed. Bumping a sprinkler head during a renovation or move, children accidentally hitting a sprinkler with a toy, or even just hanging clothing from a sprinkler can mean disaster.

60 gallons per minute

A single sprinkler releases 60 gallons of water per minute roughly a bathtub every 45 seconds.

$2,000 per minute

For every minute a sprinkler is activated, it can cost an average of $2,000 in water damage.

90% accidental activations

About 90% of sprinkler activations are caused by accidents, not fire.

5–20 minutes response time

It takes the fire department an average of 5–20 minutes to shut off a sprinkler system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of sprinkler heads does the Shutgun work with?

The Shutgun tool works with a wide range of fire sprinkler head types, including:Pendant fire sprinkler heads, Upright fire sprinkler heads, Wall mount sprinkler heads, Semi-recessed sprinkler heads and Concealed and institutional styles with appropriate Shutgun versions

Accidental sprinkler activations are common and many are not caused by actual fires but by bumped or damaged heads, renovations, or everyday impacts. The Shutgun lets you stop water flow in seconds, which can prevent tens of thousands of dollars in water damage that can occur while waiting for the fire department.

No — Shutgun includes a patented fusible link that allows the sprinkler head to reactivate if a fire reignites, maintaining fire safety while stopping unnecessary water discharge.

A typical fire sprinkler head can release around 60 gallons of water per minute and fill a standard bathtub in less than a minute. Even a short wait for the fire department can result in hundreds or thousands of gallons of water released.

Fire sprinkler systems can develop issues over time, such as: Leaks and drips from corrosion or impact damage, Misfires/false activations, Pressure issues that affect performance, Blockages from debris or pests, Corrosion and deterioration of components, and Valve/pump failures due to mechanical wear
