Description:
With the soon to be published 2010 editions of NFPA 13, 13D and 13R, you’ll want to be among the first to hear about the significant changes to design and installation criteria. This two-hour webinar is an abridged version of one of the most popular attended half-day programs at AFSA’s annual conventions and will benefit sprinkler designers, project managers, installers and AHJ’s alike.  This program will highlight the key changes to all three Fire Sprinkler Standards.
