Self-Contained Fire Sprinkler

I'm currently working on my 1st growroom and I'm trying to work out every possible scenario. So far everything is going ok and at the moment I don't think the possibility of a fire is very likely. BUT I can never be to sure. So basically I'm asking if anyone has/had a sprinkler system set up in their growroom and how you went about getting it installed. The room I'm using has a floorspace of roughly 10x8 feet and a very high ceiling. I think one sprinkler head would do the trick, but I don't want to go through the hassle of having one professionally installed through my plumbing system. Does anyone know of a self-contained sprinkler system under $500 for a small room? Or is it possible to build one?

Thanks

DO NOT use water, you need a chemical fire retardant to put out an electrical fire if one were to occur.

That's all I've got to say.

Good call.

Well how about a system that has a chemical fire retardant? Or somekind of fireproof or fire resistant material that I could cover the room with?

I don't know enough about fire systems to help you out any further, hopefully someone else can.

Thanks for your advice anyway.

You need one of those kind they install under commercial hoods in restaurants. I cannot remember the name of them to save my azz at the moment tho. I know they are very expensive, need professional installation, and checked yearly as well. Not very practical in your case. But, they are self contained and meant for chemical/electrical fires. And in the event it does go off, what a mess ya got to clean up, cause that white powder in them goes all over the damn place.


b0nger:pimp:

I guess I won't worry about then in the meantime.

Thank you for the info though.
