Many decades ago a company didnt have a reamer attached to the carriage , when the city inspector noticed this they wouldnt pass the inspection until all the threaded piping was removed and replaced .

I just started as a fitter this Friday, learned how to do these things for the first time, working for a sprinkler company. How long does it take for the body to adjust to lifting the heavy pipe?
@SprinklerFitting3 ай бұрын
It will take a while , most important is to lift properly , bend at the knees , dont rotate body with pipe on shoulder as you will get lower back injury , need to turn with you feet keeping body straight . If it heavy get help , use mechanical means when possible , pipe cart ,pipe cricket etc . Dont be a hero as your boss wont pay your bills if you get hurt . Take your time .

se llaman escudo de placa oculto, depende de la marca que haya instalado, si quita uno del siguiente adyacente tendrá una etiqueta con su nombre en el interior con el número de modelo y la clasificación de temperatura. serán comerciales o residenciales, las marcas más populares son Tyco, Victaulic o Globe. necesitará encontrar un proveedor de rociadores contra incendios en su área; en Canadá utilizamos Wolesely, Emco, National Fire o Flocor.

Nice basic video. Just a tip for any guys that have never seen the ridgid 975’s manual before..that silver/chrome dial up on top is a depth setter. No need to use a groove tape if you know how to set the machine properly for the diameter of pipe you are using. In my 15+ years in the trade I’ve never seen a guy actually know what it did and I used to teach 20+ year journeymen what it was for as a junior. Only reason I knew was because I started as a shop kid and used to assemble/repair all the tools and gangboxes as part of my job and the 975 is the most commonly used roll groover by a far margin. As a bonus tip, anyone who likes a 915 in-air, the 975 can be flipped around and function in-air as well.

That’s definitely an odd one for sure, I’d have to get a better look personally. My initial thought would be those windows aren’t properly fire-rated and this is some sort of goofy means to avoid having to change the casings after they were already installed by mistake? This would’ve been something I kicked back at the GC/engineers if I was running the job. The “lower” heads might be meant to be providing coverage for the means of egress coming out of that entryway, but even if that was the cause they would need to be down below that “wall” to provide adequate coverage.

From a 3rd generation fitter with 12 years under my belt I’ll say I can tell you take pride in your work BUT PLEASE tell me you went through and put plugs in all the ball valves. Trust me when I tell you a box of plugs is well worth not having to go out and reset a dry valve cause some idiot hits a handle they shouldn’t be touching.

Ill put plugs after i finish testing and tripping the system . This is a new building with six parkade levels . I put street 90's on the ends so i dont dirty the walls when i drain the system , i do know what you mean though .....

@SprinklerFitting7 ай бұрын
Great question and one that i am not sure of either . I am allowed because the building owners , property managers etc give their permission to do it . Sometimes it is me and sometimes the building engineer who does it . I dont have any specific training or certifications from the manufacturer . All i have is my Journeyman Sprinklerfitter certification from my Provincial authority .So i dont believe you need any to just shut it off . You do need certification to do actual work on the fire pumps for alignments , yearly inspection etc . There is also ASTT certification to do that as well as training from the manufacturers . If anybody else would like to comment on their jurisdictional requirements please do so .

The people who do have the training to commission , align and certify are in high demand . You dont need to be a Sprinklerfitter to take the course offered by the manufacturer.

@SprinklerFitting9 ай бұрын
It depends on which sprinkler head you have . If you have a Globe 1 inch drop sprinkler head then its possible . The Globe Sprinkler Head has a deep escutcheon . Any other sprinkler head then you would need to remove the head and extend the pipe or remove the head and add a listed 1/2 inch male x female threaded coupling . Your best option would be to remove the Sprinkler Head and replace it with the Globe 1 inch drop . If it is a residential property then you would need a residential sprinkler head .
@bjbhehir9 ай бұрын
Appreciate your fast response, looks like I'll have to do some research but at least it's doable. Thanks!
@SprinklerFitting9 ай бұрын
Unscrew the escutcheon and see if it will give you a 1/2 inch gap before it comes off . If it does then your lucky . Also look at the deflector inside the sprinkler head , it should drop below the finished height of your new ceiling . If you do need to change the sprinkler head you dont need to cut the drywall ! The Sprinkler head has a special wrench that attaches to a 1/2 ratchet and it fits inside the Sprinkler head . I would recommend asking a Sprinkler Fitter to do the work .

The sprinkler drawing should indicate where the bracing is needed . Generally every change of direction is a 4 way brace , then 40 ft is a 2 way ,then 4 way at 80 ft . Longitudinal and lateral . 1 inch pipe is used for bracing under 7 ft , over 7 feet then use 1.25 inch pipe .

A block wall will be built on backside of the FHV . There is also a high zone express 6 inch riser to be installed opposite the low zone 6 inch riser . Then all gets a 2 hr rated shaft built around the two risers. Good point with the clearance and yes i did check before install . I have 43 inch clearance radius . On some floors i had to install a 2.5 in grooved 90 with the Hose Valve in the vertical position .Normally a fully sprinklered doesnt need the 2 hr fire rated shaft around pipe but the City building bylaw wants all standpipes fire rated .
