Homeowner Info - Fire Sprinkler Systems
I personally don’t care much for residential fire protection systems that are separate from domestic water system. Reason being 90 % of home owners are ignorant of utility systems (HVAC,SANITARY,SEPTIC,WELLwater,MUNICIPALwater,ELECTRICAL) ask any trades person,in their home until they fail in some manor. By integrating fire protection into domestic in a series problems will show prominently and will be constantly “flushed” . I know this means eliminating dead end branches ,more careful planning . Doing this virtually eliminates “forgotten “maintenance. I have seen little attention paid to designs using this design premise.
The Water supply valve at the entrance should be supervised to a minimum of a zip tie or breakaway lock. This service entrance is a perfect way for someone purposefully setting fire to the structure to impair it without restriction. The alarm flow control would also be impaired.
It should be noted that although the panel in this video appears to be in good shape and is technically code compliant for meeting the six throw rule, this panel would not be permitted in a new installation, they have been prohibited since the 1981 NEC and they stopped being manufactured a couple years later by the mid 80s. Now as of 2020 article 230.85 requires an emergency disconnect outside the building or within sight of the building in a readily accessible location, for one and two family dwellings. This is to give firefighters a safe way to turn off all the power to the structure in case of an emergency, before throwing water on a potentially energized structure. Historically firefighters have been trained to pull the meter, but pulling a meter under load puts them in grave danger of electrocution or arc flash.
😔 'promo sm'
Must be a warm weather zone .
We’re. Should they be
Unchainable and unmonitorable fire protection valve on the outside of the building. Real smart, Arizona haha. Also, it would be nice to see a hose connection before the PRV.
Carrie looks and sounds like a man.
Thanks for the information. I will be moving into a house with fire sprinklers soon and this will help.
