Might want to start in Chapter 6, System Components and then Chapter 7, System
Requirements of NFPA 13. Helps to have a handbook for many reasons, but the
pictures might be helpful at this point.
6.7 Valves
6.8 FDCs
6.9 Flow Switch
7.1 Gauges – relief valves
There has got to be someone around
Jeffery,
When I entered this business 22 years ago I started by working with two
experienced designers. Within two weeks one quit and then two weeks later the
other one left. Unbeknownst to me, there were issues at this particular
company (to say the least).This left me in a precarious spot.
Do you have a mentor working with you? If you really have no idea, I would
suggest you find a local mentor to help you. But in the meantime, go drive to
the nearest site and check out their riser. The configurations can vary per
geographical region.
