I forgot to add that on exposed risers we have also used "Roof Fire Dept. Connections" that work well too. Potter-Roemer 5871 - 5892 series.

We typically install a Potter-Roemer 5862 or (3). Don't know that they ever use it again after we turn the systems over to the local guy's, but they work nice during start-up and testing.

Got a system with a 700ish demand no pump. So I'm thinking the 2" main drain isn't big enough. Does someone make a FDC like thing with male threads? Then I'd have a 4" BFV on the inside to control the flow? Sound right? Could I just straight pipe a 3" but then I'd have no way to put a hose monster on? Hose monster to dissipate flow as I don't think we need to actually measure and record flow. Chris Cahill, P.E.
