I could have said "because he was a young sprinkler guy then and would know from personal experience", but I did not say that. Now that would make you the old guy. > > Dave > > David A. de Vries, P.E., CSP > Firetech Engineering Incorporated > 2715 Harrison St. > Evanston, IL 60201 > Tel: 847-733-0944 > Fax: 847-866-6255 > > > > --- On Tue, 7/28/09, Ron Greenman <[email protected]> wrote: > > > From: Ron Greenman <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Old, old sprinkler > To: [email protected] > Date: Tuesday, July 28, 2009, 10:09 PM > > > Don't let him fool you.

The deflector is stamped "38-600B" while the frame is cast with 38B. Date code is 1966. It is a standard spray upright, half-inch orifice, 165F, link and lever design made by Automatic of Youngstown O. I also have a 38B damaged in a fire. The deflector, link, levers and cap are missing. Same half-inch orifice, but made by Automatic of Cleveland O. Don't know when Automatic moved from Cleveland to Youngstown, but must have been by 1953. I have a UL Fire Protection List from that year that shows them in Youngstown. It also shows the 38-600B as an upright and the 38-400B as a pendent. Sorry, no data sheet. >> >> Disclaimer: the provision of this information in no way should be viewed as an admission of being an old guy.
