Your residential water pressure is way more than necessary for sprinkler head operation. Tyco calls for minimum 7.2 psi for their 3/4 heads up to about 32 psi depending on area coverage. I know my homes pressure is 60 psi and NFPA 13 establishes a minimum pressure of 7 psi, so 100 psi is definitely overkill.
100 PSI is the pressure at the extinguisher. That’s not the pressure at the sprinkler head. The water extinguisher’s discharge hole is only about a centimeter and a half wide, so the pressure at the sprinkler head is low. Not too high, these sprinkler heads had relatively poor performance compared to what they were designed to do
I think the problem with upright sprinklers and sprinklers that face down are that when they activate the water is so powerful that It goes everywhere but in the middle of the sprinkler. Sidewall sprinklers are different though.
This isn’t exactly intended to be a fully realistic setup. It’s nearly impossible to get a realistic flow on a commercial head without expensive equipment.
did not have to shit on another guys video. I mean literally the same end result so what was the point?? lol Imma head back to that vid and like his instead. byeee
what? How is this “shitting” on someone else’s video? You are absolutely welcome to go like, comment and watch whatever you want…this was literally just a video showing off this sprinkler demonstration I made and why I made it like I did. I don’t want viewers like you watching or commenting on my videos anyways
Also you ABSOLUTE MORON. The video I was showing and critiquing was literally MY OWN VIDEO. I made that video last year and I was showing the issues I had with it. So your entire argument about me raining on someone else’s parade is completely flawed. Douchebag
Really had the system rolling today, nicely done! You should make another video of fire sprinkler durability experiments
Great demo
Nice! And I also got to pull the fire alarm for the fire drill at school today!
Sweet
You should get a manifold and connect four water based extinguishers at once. That would really up the power and capacity 🤌
I like it! good job

In a real situation with proper pressure the water is enough to cover everything
@@FireAlarmDude5967 ohh ok that makes sence
BTW I just subscribed!
You need more volume (flow) and higher ceiling. upright and pendant sprinkler spray pattern isn't fully established with only 36" below to ground.

Gives new meaning to "April showers."
Ooo nice
Put a flow switch inside for the demoo
Cool Demo! Too bad you didn't test the wall mounted sprinkler.
Cool does the fire departments normally get called when they trip
Depends if the fire panel they're linked to has a dialer. If so, then yes the fire department would be called.
@@LNERMallard All sprinkler systems are required to be monitored in the IBC.
The new demo system is better, i like it
Oh that sherd me!!¡!!!!!
What if you could connect a sprinkler to a pressure washer?
Not sure
@@FireAlarmDude5967 not sure if it would work but it would be an interesting thing to look into
Kid you got a lot to learn.
Why don’t you elaborate instead of leaving a no context comment? What do you expect me to do with this comment?

Ain’t nobody care you probably spent two minutes on that comment when you coulda been gone 💀
