Question for my sprinkler connections. Trying to educate myself on the sprinkler side of the installations and have found this regulation, would anyone know if this has been updated or still standard? Thanks in advance.

Selecting and then installing the correct passive fire protection system can be confusing given that there’s a range of application requirements and legislation in place, not to mention a host of products from which to choose. Here, Ken Francis of Promat addresses some of the most frequent questions posed by customers to members of the technical team at FSi Promat https://lnkd.in/ePR7dtNU

Another example of why out AHJ’s need help. They can not be experts in every area of their job and this is where we can help. Reach out and ask if they need help. It will really show you who they are and how much they care depending on the response you get back. Most AHJ’s want to do a good job they just need help like everyone else, let’s help each other and make the industry better one conversation at a time.
If you are an AHJ or a fire fighter driving down the road what do you think when you see this. Do you know what it means when you don’t see the stems of those valves sticking up? Are you aware that NFPA 13 requires these valves and assemblies to be protected against freezing? We had a freeze in my area over a week ago and yet I keep seeing backflows by the roads as I drive by in this condition. Folks “locked or sealed” DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE! That is why over 20 years ago the International Fire Code included in section 903.4 that valves like this are to be monitored by a fire alarm system! People pick and choose what parts of the codes that they want to follow and what parts they don’t far to often in South Carolina. Sadly one day one or more people are going to die because of this. Maybe someone with a wife and children. Oh well, at least a fire sprinkler or fire alarm contractor can save $350 on a $90,000 contract by not including two tamper switches and instead put on a couple of plastic zip ties to “seal” the valve 🤷♂️ A persons life is worth $350 right?

Where are portable fire extinguishers rerated with UL/FM when they HAVE to be recharged and tested? For the "immaculate and respectable experts and representatives of brands and manufacturers who object outside of this space" Some examples: AMEREX portable fire extinguishing equipment manual and section NFPA 10 where BOTH clearly state: Tank/equipment requalification HAS to be done at stations with DOT license and current RIN number.

Not sure what is going on here. Is the switch limiting the valve or is the valve limiting the switch 🫣 Call to schedule 586-500-0099 Remember to always exercise caution and use proper safety measures when dealing with electricity and water. It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to the potential dangers of mixing these two elements. Stay informed, follow safety guidelines, and prioritize your well-being and the well-being of others. ?

I provide online pre recorded trainings for mechanical designers who want to improve themselves, preparing to take PAE or PCE exams.
What system would you install in a library for fire protection system? Actually it is dependent on your budget. When there is budget, the clean agent system would probably be superior as it has the least damage on books when released. However, most of the time the amount of clean agent required would be overwhelming to totally flood the room. So, from my point of view, the double interlock preaction sprinkler would be suitable as the sprinkler pipe will only be filled up upon detection by fire alarm system and upon activation of sprinkler. Learn more about preaction sprinkler in pce exam notes. Click and register to begin your study. https://lnkd.in/gTUJ_DYj

Where do you rank false fire alarm reduction in your company or organization? I presented at NFPA just a few weeks ago and this was one of our first poll questions. As most should have safety as number 1, what is number 2, and does false fire alarm reduction even crack your top 10 from your company or organization? Please let me know what your thoughts are?
