I’ve been going though in my head a small unit with low pressure loss at low flow and a large unit in parallel that’s efficient at high flow. I just can’t see a reasonable total cost. Best. Bruce Verhei > On 04/02/2021 10:57 AM Dane Long via Sprinklerforum > wrote: > > > You might try

I think this depends on exactly what you are asking. Perhaps you have not read through the IEBC enough times. I believe the IEBC instructs code officials as to what codes to require when alterations are made to existing buildings. In other words it is not a code to now apply to existing

Just to clarify - what flow range do you need for this project? Will this device be required to flow hydrants and a residential system? How bad do you need that PSI? Could you put two BFP's in parallel? You could have a 3" rp that will get you 6psi of loss from 100 to 300, and an 8" next to

Yep...I think that is the reality. I'm going to go back thru the calcs and see if I can flag some high velocities or losses that a compound loop might mitigate...otherwise, it is what it is. John W. Farabee 561-707-5150 On Thursday, April 1, 2021, 08:32:39 PM EDT, Steve Leyton wrote:
