This course reviews required acceptance tests for fire sprinkler systems and the subtle changes to the requirements when applied to new systems/existing systems, aboveground/underground pipes, and systems filled with water vs. systems filled with air.
Learn about the different air supplies used in dry and preaction fire sprinkler systems. This course will discuss the different methods to fill a system with air as well as the benefits of utilizing dry air or nitrogen.
This course will discuss the different types of backflow preventers and the installation requirements associated with each to allow for testing. In addition, this course will discuss the specific performance points required when performing the forward flow test.
Join us for a webinar to learn about the means and methods of determining flow rates when flow testing systems using water. This webinar will discuss the different tools available to determine flows in a system, the proper methods of using each tool, and a procedure for conducting a proper water flow test.
This webinar will discuss the available fire pump systems covered in NFPA 20, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection.
Learn about flushing requirements for fire protection systems. This course will discuss the importance of flushing systems at the required flows to minimize the risk of obstructions downstream in fire protection systems.
Learn about the installation requirements for hanging fire sprinkler pipe. NFPA 13 does not require the hangers to be dimensioned on the working plans, so the final placement and installation falls on the fitter.
Learn about the differences between NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D. This course will discuss the scope, application, and differences between the three sprinkler installation standards.
Learn about the installation requirements for seismic protection of fire sprinkler pipe. This course will review the basic requirements for clearance, flexibility, bracing, and restraint, focusing on the prescriptive requirements that can be verified in the field.
Learn about the different types of sprinkler systems. At the conclusion of this course, the participant will be able to understand and apply the definition of a “sprinkler system” according to NFPA 13 and the three types of system configurations (tree, loop, and grid).
