At work we have an amazing amount of deluge sprinklers...they will drown you....literally. To save damage to equipment when being tested they tape plastic tubes over the spray nozzles to direct the water to the floor. These tubes are simple clear plastic 'flat' sheet in a tube form. They throw them away after the test so they wouldn't be too expensive. I'm just suggesting that you might like to test the system every once in a while to confirm the integrity of your system.
