Actually, your explanation wasn't far off your "be the water" surfing that makes the student remember you need to slow down at 90's because e of friction loss. You got complaints on that Casper Milquetoast explanation? I wasn't offended, for the record. George L. Church, Jr., CET   Rowe Sprink

In the 2007/2010 edition of NFPA 13, section 8.3.4.3 allows k 4.2 sprinkler heads to be used on dry systems where the piping is corrosion resistant or internally galvanized. Are there any options that people are aware of for corrosion resistance besides internally galvanized? (Copper being too

You can take Mr. Denhardt's words as a very authoritative statement. His fellow NFPA 13 Committee Members have nicknamed him "Nitro-man". So if it deals with Nitrogen, he speaks with much force (and often). It should be recognized that the above is my opinion as a member of the NFPA, and h
