Why do you have a sprinkler in the attic?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Fire code in Canada, all new buildings need a pressurized sprinkler system. The pipe runs through the attic to a sprinkler head on the ceiling. But the dick head contractor did not insulate the pipe portion that was running through the uninsulated attic.

Oh and when the sprinkler is triggered only the fire department can turn it off.
