re: Home fire sprinkler experiences? Updated OP

I installed some in my home via crimp-type pex. Decided on installing some after researching the pro and cons. Despite what the someone said in this thread I didn't find hardly any issues with false triggering. In fact, they seem to be surprising reliable unless kids mess with them or they get smashed with something.

10min of burning can be an eternity when talking of house fires. The places I added them was in kitchen and over fire place. Kitchens are the cause of the vast majority of fires and it just seemed obvious to have one over a fire place area.
