PHCPPros is thrilled to announce the latest installment in our free webinar series! Sponsored by AGF Manufacturing and presented by the company's president, Jim McHugh, "Designing Fire Sprinkler Systems for Longevity" will take place on Oct. 27 at 11 a.m. CDT.
Despite the name, dry and pre-action fire sprinkler systems often fail due to freezing, improper maintenance, or vandalism. Wet systems often fail from leaks or blockages caused by corrosion. That leaves building occupants at risk and can cause thousands in facility damage due to flooding. This presentation will review NFPA 13 code requirements for freeze protection, auxiliary drains, corrosion, and air vents. Participants will understand common issues with auxiliary drains on dry fire sprinkler systems and learn how to minimize system degradation and minimize risk with a proactive approach. They will also understand corrosion in wet fire sprinkler systems and how air vents have been proven to help prevent it by releasing trapped air. It will also include an overview of COLLECTanDRAIN and PURGEnVENT products that solve the most common issues encountered with auxiliary drains and air vents.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand NFPA 13 code requirements for freeze protection, auxiliary drains, air vents, and corrosion
- Understand common issues with auxiliary drains on dry fire sprinkler systems and corrosion on wet fire sprinkler systems
- Overview of COLLECTANDRAIN products that solve the most common issues property owners and facility managers encounter with dry fire sprinkler systems and PURGENVENT air vents which meet code and help prevent corrosion
