I'm not sure how to describe the fusible link so I have drawn a sketch below

They were located in a top floor plant room but in different rooms within
this. It is possible for air movement but not much. It's not a corrosive
environment that I'm aware of.
It's a first for me because the heads have been installed over 30 years ago
with no previous issues. The building has had the same occupier and purpose
throughout that time.
I have never sent heads for testing before, do you guys have any idea on
costs?
Best Regards,
Spencer Allen

Any corrosive exposure? I just looked at a building where hydrochloric acid
vapors melted out a link.

I asked the same questions, answer given to us is no. I have also queried
if any re-roofing had occurred on the very unlikely scenario the heat may
have transferred below.

I know I'm asking the obvious...but was this area subject to
higher-than-expected ambient temperatures? Or temperature spikes from some
special cause (paint stripping with heat gun etc.)?

Subject: Sprinkler Fusible Link Failure
I have recently had an issue with two CSC type A '1983' sprinklers
accidently activating. On inspection of the others following a drain down
we found several others without the link in place. We can only assume that
this happened once the pressure was removed.
Has anyone experience of this happening and reasons why? We can rule out
heat, pressure surges and works in the areas. The two heads that activated
were in different areas of the system.
Best Regards,
Spencer Allen
