SOUDERTON, PA - W.A. Schmidt Inc. has recently introduced a unique new guard to protect sprinkler heads installed in pallet racks.

The guard is fabricated from 5/8 inch diameter hot-rolled steel bar stock and welded to ¼ inch mounting plates. It is finished in an OSHA safety yellow baked urethane paint. Mounting hardware is included with each guard and can be installed by bolting or welding. W.A.
