Omega Recall (continued...)
What Kind of replacement sprinklers is Central providing? Central is providing a free replacement Quick Response Glass Bulb sprinkler with a Belleville type seal for every Omega sprinkler head. How do these replacement sprinklers look compared to the Omega sprinkler? The replacement Glass Bulb sprinkler has a glass ampule that is red in color, with a recessed frame. The Glass Bulb sprinkler heads are smaller in size that the Omega, and the deflector may protrude further down from the finished ceiling than the Omega. How do I install the replacement sprinklers? Sprinklers should be installed by a licensed, trained sprinkler contractor. Each Omega owner is responsible to arrange for the removal of their Omega sprinklers and the installation of the replacement sprinklers. Central has established a Trust, which will provide a reimbursement towards this cost. How do I receive reimbursement for the cost of installing the new sprinklers? You must do two things in order to qualify for reimbursement. First, you must complete and return the Proof of Claim and Waiver and Release of Claims Forms found on this web site or in your Notice Packet and return them to Central Sprinkler postmarked no later than August 1, 1999. The forms must be accompanied by a photograph of each model of Omega sprinkler that you have. The second thing you must do is complete a Verification Form after you have had your new sprinklers installed and within 365 days of receipt of your Replacement Sprinklers. You will need to send along a copy of the invoice from the sprinkler contractor who installed your new sprinklers (or other documentation that proves you have had your sprinklers replaced). Where do I find the Verification Form? It is located on this web site and in your Notice Packet. In addition, you will be mailed another copy when you are sent your new replacement sprinklers. How much money will I receive? The amount will depend, in part, on how many sprinkler owners participate in the recall, how successful we are in pursuing insurance claims and other factors. What if I already replaced my old Omega sprinklers with other Omega sprinklers? All owners of Omega sprinkler are eligible to participate in the recall, including those whose old Omegas were replaced with the new Omegas. What if I already replaced my Omega sprinklers with non-Omega sprinklers? The recall terms may also provide benefits if you have already replaced Omega sprinklers between May 1, 1996 and October 14, 1998. What if I don't want or can't use the free replacement sprinklers that Central is offering as part of this recall? If you do not want or are unable to use the free Glass Bulb replacement sprinkler that is being offered as part of this recall, Central will provide you with a payment of $5.00 per Omega sprinkler in lieu of a replacement sprinkler. Omega owners who choose to receive $5.00 per Omega sprinkler will be eligible to participate in the Trust.
