I'm appreciative of your product and your on to something. Should incorporate fore tech and hand on examples
Is this seminar before btk got locked up or after. Just joking , very good seminar ,.. breaking it down to details.
I'm new to this line of business. This is vey helpful. Thanks for sharing
Nice video Sir 👍 How to apply in your company Sir I'm From Philippines 🇵🇭
This is awesome ! You dont get to install Antifreeze loop everyday. I personally have never install one been in field 27 years. I had to google this. Thank you
I don't understand a lot.sir
I've watched lots of videos to try and understand how sprinkler systems work. This guy is hands down the clearest and most helpful.
Can you make the video of double interlock preaction valve trim assembly installation
8" Riser Pipe , with threaded ?
Great video but you may confuse the general public with the concept explained at minute 3:39. My take is that double interlock is what it is... no water in the system until 2 interlocks are engaged.

A strange dry system😳 What are those two valves above dry valves for 😳?
That is so you can trip the Valve without flooding the System, you would close those valves above the dry valve then trip the valve. Water would only go to that point. You see this application with pre action systems where they protect very expensive equipment and don’t want to flood the System when they are doing there 3-year full trip test
T
If an air leak and compressor failure occure, and air pressure is lost on the top of the valve, will the valve open and charge the header?
2:47 *"the guts of a burnt smoke alarm"*
Is it required to repeat the test at each floor level (the control valve assembly has also a connection to the drain)?
The main drain test, is a system's test. You cannot perform this test per floor
That 4” backflow device is installed 4-6” above the floor. A plumbing code is minimum 12” from the floor. Also, that FDC line definitely requires two check valves. An air compressor is placed on the floor , what is unacceptable.
Excellent video that clearly shows the dangers of Christmas tree fires, but highlights the life-saving benefits of SMOKE ALARMS, the FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN, and HOME FIRE SPRINKLERS
Does anyone know where I could get certification training . I have a Fire Protection business. I have owned this for over a year but previous owner never got into. Sprinkler systems . I’m in Mississippi
In Pennsylvania state
look online NICET training and certification. There is another certification program out there similar to NICET and it becoming widely accepted as the standard just like NICET. Can't remember the name of it, at this very moment.
You are confusing a single interlock and a double interlock preaction system. The "specialized dry valve" is a deluge valve. You're putting out bad info...
Agreed. There is a pneumatic actuator on the priming line and he didn’t even mention it.
I dont know when this video was created but it looks like those panel batteries are due for replacement.
He didnt tell about dry pilot actuator
Thanks for the information. But which is electrical and pneumatic activation, can you explain an pneumatic and pneumatic activation method. Thanks. czcams.com/video/K0rR3bZk4Rg/video.html
Fine
If I made these videos I’ve have a million views
Can’t have a union on the system side
That call to the alarm company was fake .. he never hit the tampers and the main drain was below the flow switch he never tripped any horns you could flow that drain all day and the fire department would never respond... wish I had ten accounts just like that lol
Interesting remark. is the water flow alarm supposed to be positioned before the drain? I thought that the inpector test connection was after the flow alarm, not the main drain.
@@cmarname The flow switches are located (in different areas) after the main drain. The main drain test is upstream of any flow switches. Typically, this should not trigger them. The inspectors test is located (usually near the end-of-the-line) at the end of the system. When the inspector's test is performed, a flow switch will detect flow, send a notification, and will trigger the alarm.
@@paccbutler1826 I was flustered. It makes sense that the water comes upward and never hits the water flow switch so no alarm.
You should also get the Alarm Company Operator ID number as proof ,going off line and on line.
Agree.
Where I work has a similar system but something is diff cuz the gauges above always show 0 psi despite having a connection to a lil compressor. My question is what the he'll is keeping back the 150 psi water pressure that is below the valve in the system at my job? There is signage stating for action and wet system below a big valve that says Reliable Model EX Deluge valve
Meant to say it states pre action
Thank you for this explanation.
One small note, if the express drain is connected to other drains it should be 1 size larger.
Next time you do a drain test, open the drain valve all the way.
🙏🙏
If a sprinkler head is damaged (no fire) and the air is let out, what stops the water from coming out the damaged head? There is no air holding the valve closed anymore. Can you explain that?
I think this one shows more specifically how that works czcams.com/video/VHIBGPf0U9U/video.html
In double interlock. If sprinkler brust water will not get into the piping network.. Actually it requires electric detection signal to open the solenoid valve. Than only the preaction valve will open.. Hope i am right. If i am wrong, please advise the correct operation.
Presentation to AHJs on things to know for plan check and inspections.
This is all technical problems before the actual presentation. Don’t waste your time.
Does a building owner have to periodically test the flow switch like on a wet system? How would you do this without tripping the dry system?
The dry side has no flow switch. But it does have a pressure switch which will operate from flowing water from the test drain. This will ring the water motor alarm bell and activate the pressure switch to raise an alarm.
Dry Systems use a pressure switch in which you can test on the alarm line trim without tripping the system
You need two spares heads for every head installed in the building. You can also disable the horns on the fire panel prior to running water.
Main drain below flow switch so no alarm
@@jaysonmengel2031 if the main drain pipe is located above the water flow switch, it WILL trigger the fire alarm.
do you have to turn off the fire pump and drain fire hydrants outside, if any, before you do this?
Never put the fire pump out of service
simple answer: NO
I would also add that as an inspector I always review the data plate to see what the original residual flow was at time of installation, if the results are lower than the system may not operate as intended.
@CZcams Lover you always do the water supply test regardless if there is a data plate.
@CZcams Lover Sometimes there isn't a hydraulic nameplate because it isn't required for certain systems.
They didn't have the heads listed anywhere
If the heat/smoke opens the valve and allows water to flood the system, then it is single interlock.
Yes that’s correct. The air pressure in the field pipe is to monitor for any leaks. If you get a low air supervisory only the system will not trip, unless it’s coupled with a smoke/heat head to energize solenoid and dump the priming water. This is for coverage of areas you don’t want getting wet or having false trips at all costs. Once the air leak is detected the pipe can be repaired and you don’t damage any of the equipment that is being covered. If the system dumps on only one of these inputs alone it pretty much is defeating the purpose of the PreAc.
very good information sir ... sir kindly provide system resetting video
Wow that domestic line is tied to the city feed I get there's a back flow before it's run into the building but old cast and steel aren't doing anyone any favors lol
accelerator valve should be open! cool video thanks for sharing
Hahahah he knows he will pop the valve if he opens it. Those things suck
It might be a good idea to tell why the main drain test is done, and what percentage drop is acceptable on this type of test.
actuall he does explained it in another small video.
Shouldn’t the Dry and the Wet system have to have separate mains ?
Usually there is only 1 under ground Main that can feed several systems from a Manifold, Dry or Wet it doesn’t matter
Should they be 2 check valves ? One for each FDC and not just one. To prevent flow from one FDC to e other ?
Eric Corona jr that will depend on the type of hose valves. They might be using the flapping valves build in. But good observation
Great Point Bro!!
