Ya sorry Travis i drifted a little from the pith of the thread. I'm
just wondering how to estimate $$/sf that would be in the ball park
no matter where in the country it was, and since water supply varies
from poor to good even across the same jurisdiction, and affects
$$/sf I thought some kind of 'self-contained' totality might help it
settle down and act right -- no city, no matter where, no matter when.
Thanks man, brad.
Quoting Travis Mack <[email protected]>:
I think you are out of touch with most people. The typical question
is not “how much is it?” But instead, “How much per month?”
Ownership of something they likely didn’t want in the first place is
not going to come in to play.
Plus, you are likely not going to take it with you, so what
difference does it make?
Home fire sprinklers are simply about how can we do it at low cost
and still be effective. In areas with high meter fees, the Talco
Home Hydrant is great to offset cost. Where the meter cost is not a
factor, basic riser is best option. It’s all about cost effective
for this game.

How much $$$$ ? Are owners on board having in their homes ?
How does the cost effect the square foot estimates breakfasteing
cited ? Lets get some real world answers and costs.

Pressure Tanks are an approved water supply. No city connection. No
BFP. No fire pump. I can see "13D Pressure Tank" brochures and the
$$/sf stabilizing and, over time, coming down.

Quoting John Drucker <[email protected]>:
EXACTLY, and the standby fees that are also being imposed.
Customers are looking at the BIG picture, aka the bottom line and
when a SEPARATE fire service is required by the water purveyor
and/or RPZ BACKFLOW preventers it all ADDS UP.
So just what is the TRUE cost, in some cases a lot more than the
averages, means, estimates, etc etc, Welcome to my world.

Subject: Average cost for 13D systems
NFPARF published an estimate of average cost for a residential
(one/two family) sprinkler system in 2009 in the run-up to the IRC
vote that year. I think the number was $1.61; does anyone know if
they or HFSC have published an updated cost estimate recently?
