Is everyone taking into account the friction loss through these flex hoses? Schirmer Engineering has a report out dated March 13, 2007 showing the losses. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of George Church Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 11:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Industry Standard Nothing finer, or more painful- why we don't do a lot of public work and prefer design-build! Seriously, Kelley, there is no "industry standard", and if you ask or specify, you end up with one more thing to lose the job over- or argue about later. In our first year we just decided we center everything and be done with it. That's gotten a lot easier with flex drops. Now there may be a few exceptions, like back of house in a retro in a crappy place; we try to end up not working in those spots. We do most of our work for the same folks, and they expect what we provide, and it never even comes up anymore. Others are pleasantly surprised, and if a GC doesn't care if its center of tile in a new building with 2x2, if he'd leave his customer with off center heads in a new installation, he's not the kind of guy we're looking to make a long-term relationship with. If you're in this market, the right thing is to specify your tolerance in proposal and do it. glc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roland Huggins Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 10:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Industry Standard Industry standard is a closed type so take your pick. If hey had said center OF the tile (instead of IN), I guess even upright would have qualified. Nothing finer than a tight spec.
