This Viking™ fire sprinkler head guard helps protect fire sprinklers from impact damage from a variety of causes in a variety of settings – flying balls in a gym, forklifts in a warehouse, or vandalism in an arena. The Model D-1 head guard can be installed during or after initial installation, but it is recommended to install the guard prior to installing the sprinklers themselves. See manufacturer datasheet for complete installation instructions. Made of a durable steel or stainless wire with a chrome or stainless steel finish, respectively, these guards, sometimes called fire sprinkler cages, protect from light to hard hits to prevent damage and/or accidental activation.
