Globe Fire Sprinkler Corporation and its affiliated companies -----Original Message----- From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Fox, Duane T. (FireMarshal) Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2014 11:19 AM To: SprinklerFORUM Subject: Exhausters During an annual inspection the Star - Model # BB Exhauster was found to be inoperative. The exhauster is installed on a pre-action dry pipe valve. The exhauster was rebuilt in April 2012. According to the sprinkler company parts are no longer available, nor is a replacement available for this device. The State of DE has a requirement for delivery of water to the inspectors test within 60 seconds, no matter the size of the system. Even the quick opening device does not deliver water in the prescribed time. Does anyone have any solutions? Has anyone manufactured a listed exhauster to replace the Star BB? Duane T.
