Fire Alarm: Flow Switch Covers

The importance of a flow switch cover is monumental to a fire alarm system. This piece of equipment protects the wiring of the fire alarm system that communicates whether there is an alarm or not. When the flow switch is exposed without a flow switch cover it becomes vulnerable to being damaged by weather, rodents, water, and other work being done in the fire riser room. When the wiring to a flow switch becomes damaged it can report that an alarm is in when it is not, which usually ends up in the fire department coming out, or it fails to report the fire alarm completely. The protection of this device is crucial to keeping a fire alarm system working properly. Are your flow switches protected by flow switch covers on your fire sprinkler systems?
