Ron, We provide a "key" (chuck driver) for the tamper resistant screws, that the sprinkler contractor keeps for future relocation purposes.

I didn't know about the label, it's been awhile since I looked at one. Our installers really like the flexible heads, myself doing estimates not so much unless the project is in a seismic area.

We also worked hard to get language added to NFPA13's newest publication that requires a warning labels on every flexible product stating: "Caution: Relocation of this device should only be performed by qualified and/or licensed individuals that are aware of the original system design criteria, hydraulic criteria, sprinkler head listing perimeters, and knowledge of NFPA 13 installation standards. Relocation of the device without this knowledge could adversely affect the performance of this fire protection and life safety system."

Probably even more so than Vic couplings. What will be interesting in the future is when the original installation uses Flexheads and a retrofit company sees 'flexheads' and substitutes another brand with significantly higher friction loss. Don't see too many AHJ picking up on that one. Chris Cahill, P.E. Fire Protection Engineer Sentry Fire Protection, Inc. 763-658-4483 763-658-4921 fax Email: [email protected] Mail: P.O.

Do you use a flex head with a 90° - or straight ? listening....
