We don't have the, let's say easiest on equipment, fitters, and I've never heard of this. Using a steel wrench on a brass sprinkler I'm having a hard time envisioning how you could be going through head wrenches with that sort of frequency. I have guys here that have the same wrench today they started on site with 5 years ago.

So I ordered the specified wrench, so we could change heads w/o damage to the new heads. My guys changed 6 heads before the wrench wore out. We have had the same problem with all the brands. What is the solution? The last wrench cost me $150.00, that is an additional cost of $25.00 per head. I have been thinking of having the welding shop build up the wrench with hard face powder and then having the machine shop mill the wrench to the right size. Any other options? _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
