It's amazing the things you learn when you learn to read. For instance. I never knew that all these years I've been referring to it incorrectly as the National Fire Protection Association. I never knew that it was the National Fire Prevention Association. Jim Shannon and those guys have a lot of 'splainin to do, particularly since THEY have been calling it by the wrong name in all their literature, publications, and correspondence. Good thing these poop sacks in VA have set them right. Next, I'm going to have to call every customer I've ever designed a residential system for and apologize. You see, I was under the idiotic impression that it was HEAT, not smoke that initiated the sprinkler water discharge. And man, I never for one second considered that ALL of them would go off if even one was tripped. Boy, that must be some pool of water to have EVERY sprinkler in a house activating at one time. The last time there was a flow of water like that Noah built an ark. It's more of the same drivel we've been hearing since this industry began. All kidding aside, I really appreciate you tipping us to this publication of theirs, and I would think that if they were dumb enough to use this make their case in front of a legislative body that someone from our industry would be there to ram it where it should be rammed. I'd like to write the head guy at their association but I don't think I could keep the language even remotely civil. Always good to know what the other side is thinking though. -- PARSLEY CONSULTING Ken Wagoner, SET 760.745.6181 voice 760.745.0537 fax [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> e-mail www.ParsleyConsulting.com <http://www.ParsleyConsulting.com> website _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
