I tried explaining them that the system has already a built in safety factor for example we calculated 9 sprinkler heads for the area and I can say for certain that when a fire happens all 9 sprinkler heads will not operate and if it does, there is a fire department connection attached to the system to help out. I need some more material to straighten this out. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list Sprinklerforum@firesprinkler.org http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: supp...@firesprinkler.org To Unsubscribe, send an email to:sprinklerforum-requ...@firesprinkler.org (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) ----- No virus found in this message.
